1st BLOOD RESULT ON NDT
hi, thank you for looking and reading. I had a full thyroidectomy on 20 December 2022. I tried levothyroxine and was struggling to convert. I went on to NDT 7 weeks ago. I did my blood test this morning fasting and drinking only water at 7.30am, and I withheld the NDT for 24 hours. I appreciate my t3

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

Blood test results
Hi everyone, Been here a few times as I try and get my thyroid/iron levels good while TTC. Was pleased recently when my iron went up finally but now it, and my other thyroid levels, seem to have got worse. I'm not sure if this is because the test was taken on the last day of my period - would that

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 -

Safe ropinerol taper ?
I am tapering ropinerol and am now down from 3 mg to 1 mg. I got here by accidentally going Cold Turkey for a week when I thought I was cutting ropinerol in half but actually had replaced it with another med. It was hell but I survived. Now I want to get totally off it. my ferritin when tested a month

Neurologist’s phone call
One of Dr Bagary’s team rang this afternoon. He listened to me and seemed to understand my situation.. l requested a switch from Temgesic to Subutex, but of course he will have to consult Dr Bagary which all takes time. I also discussed dosage with him as the two sorts of tablets come in different

Poor Conversion T4 to T3 update and supplement advice (Magnesium, Vit B complex, Vit C)
Nearly two months after my Medichecks blood tests and c5 weeks after GP blood test results (see previous posts) I've managed to get an answer from my GP - he has consulted the Endo at local hospital who says I'm a poor converter... Apparently current NHS guidance is to increase the amount of T4 I'm

Periods started back up again.
Hiah,Yesterday I started my menstrual cycle after a year of not having one due to taking the deceptoyl Injection and hrt. I had surgery in December and stage 3 was removed. I finished the injection and hrt in Feb and my period had only just come back. This time it has been different, the pain is there

Iron low
Hello, I just got back my blood work test and the iron read a little low, so I was wondering if anyone else here on the panel with pernicious anemia has had low iron. My iron binding is within range. Iron level is in range but iron percent transferring saturation is reading slightly low

GP Update
Spoken to a sensible GP. Will put a blood form out tomorrow for iron, B12 etc and then look at increasing Levothyroxine by 25mcg. They did try saying about TSH being within ‘normal’ range, however I was able to talk about T3/T4 etc. So thank you to everyone that has reached out and replied to me. I

blood test back - any thoughts?
So now I am off all my meds, and started taking 200mg iron a night a month ago, my ferritin level just came back as 80, which I was quite surprised. The last one in 2020 was over 120. Should I double the dose and split it through the day or take 2 tabs before bed? Also my white blood count came back

Fingers crossed! May 4

Waiting on a DX
Good Day! This is my first post. I have been seeing a hematologist since the end of last year (2022). I have been unwell since 2017. I have been through so so so many tests and so so many doctors. We are finally making some progress and even thought I might be done with the hematologist (my BMB can

Iron levels
Could I ask for a reference for the advice on ferritin levels? I've just been looking at the Mayo Clinic algorithm of July 2021 and they suggest that for serum ferritin concentrations equal to or less than 75 μg/L , iron therapy should be started. But I think I've read posts in this forum suggesting

Burning mouth syndrome
Does anyone suffer with burning mouth syndrome. I had a heart attack 2021 and have been suffering from this for 3 months now, it is very frustrating, been to ENT who were no help, been tested for B12/folic acid /iron, there's plenty of articles online saying what could be a cause, including some blood

My Dad had his TSH done only again on Sunday 2/7/23; his TSH came back over 2.0. He took the meds at 3.30am early saturday Morning and had the test done at 8.30am on Sunday. They were surprisingly lower than he test he had done in April when his TSH was 5.19 after taking his meds! My Dad thinks he
