vitamin sprays
I see the vitamin D spray come highly recommended. But is it worth using a spray for other vitamins and minerals? There seems to be one for iron, methylfolate, B12 etc.

Help interpreting my blood results please!
Following a blood test in February my GP told me to drop the 100mcg to 75mcg as I was 'overmedicated' I have found it increasingly hard to lose any weight at all, and have been tired and listless,so I bought a Medichecks test and these are the results. 19 Apr 2023 TSH 7.69mIU/L 0.27 - 4.2 Abnormal

Switching from levothyroxine to NDT: your experience?
Hi beautiful people, I shared many posts here on the forum of how I've been trying to increase my levothyroxine for months and still struggling with the side effects - pulse increase, BP going up, hyper symptoms while hypo, etc. At this stage, I've been at it for 8 months and I still haven't found

Low iron in pregnancy; Spatone recommended - what was tested?
My daughter (euthyroid, six months pregnant, vegetarian) has just been for a check up with the midwife and has been told “your iron is low. It’s 109 and we worry if it goes below 105 so you’d better get some Spatone”. I don’t know much about iron but from this site I have learned that a full iron panel

After 3 years of B12 injections I suddenly need them more frequently?
Hi all, wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what may be causing it. I’ve been self injecting with rotexmedica hydroxy every 48 hours for almost three years. However in the last couple of months my deficiency symptoms have been creeping in earlier and earlier into that 48 hour cycle

Can Iron tablets trigger AF?
I have now resumed sinus mode after a 36 hour episode. Thank you everybody for advice and encouragement. The GP has just started me on iron pills (Ferrous Fumarate 210 mg) for iron deficiency. I took the second tablet this morning and (as an overthinker) I realised my episode of AF coincided with

Iron supplement help
Have made a few posts here about hair loss/ low ferritin. I have ordered the three arrows iron repair to see if I can increase ferritin. Can anyone tell me from my recent results, if one 20mg capsule a day would push my other results over the range? Or would it take a much larger amount? I also take

serum iron
While seeing a Dr at Leicester hospital I was asked to have a blood test, it wasn’t a fasting one. I have just had a letter, my serum iron was 12 there is no mention of anything else. The registrar has written “ Low iron can make restless legs worse and therefore I would be grateful if you could investigate

B12 only half the battle -- and an odd symptom
Back story: I was B12, Folate, Vit. D deficient with extremely low Ferritin (9). These deficiencies have been going on for years and docs were pretty clueless, made me feel like I was a drama queen about it all, and I had an allergy to B12 shots. Was finally sent to a hematologist who was ON this -

Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS
