Vitamin B complex before blood tests
I know that you should stop any b vitamin supplements for 3-7 days before a thyroid test due to the biotin but does this apply to other blood tests. GP wants me to do some blood tests next week for iron etc and wondering if I should stop the b complex before. TIA

Can stress or worries make a big difference in FBC numbers?
My wife's FBC has changed significantly over the past few weeks, while her medication has been the same for a year. During the past year she has been on anagrelide 3 a day, hydroxy 3 a week keeping her platelets at or around 250 white cells at or around 40 though over the past 8 months her Hgb keeps

Zinc and Copper Deficiencies
Hello, All! Well it's always something - isn't it? Before I begin - a refresher - I have AMAG, PA; take B12 sublinguals daily along with 500mg folic acid daily, iron twice a week - low dose, vitamin D daily and thyroid med daily. Because of my inability to absorb B12 I thought maybe other nutrients

Six Months later - upcoming meeting with my MD (input needed)
[lab tests are from October 2022] So, it is 6 months later and things were going well on 0.075mg Synthroid (75 mcg) and 15 mcg Cytomel divided over 3 daily doses. I have been diligent with supplementing iron using a heme polypeptide every second day, alternating with zinc w/ copper and of course taking

Blood test follow up
Thank you all for your help. Results of discussion with doc - Parathyroid hormone: 10.93 (range 1.5-7.2), higher than range but lower than a year ago apparently (14+). This was a few months before my GCA diagnosis. Still waiting on results for B12, iron, folate. A year ago vit D levels and calcium

Recommendations for multivits
Hi everyone, Still waiting for my blood results from IFAB/Parietal cell/MMA/etc, etc. Hopefully have them next week, so 🤞 for some answers... In the meantime, I've been SI-ing B12 EOD and also taking gentle iron. Kind of have some answers of my own already though, as I'm already feeling TONS better

Blood test results - round 2
I posted three weeks ago requesting help interpreting blood tests I’d had done for thyroid and calcium. Thank you PMRpro for your help. I’ve since had my parathyroid hormone levels tested plus B12, iron, as I have been feeling excessively fatigued (ironically I’ve felt much better over the last few days

Latest results
Hello, would anyone be kind enough to help me with my latest results? I have had an underactive thyroid since my early 20s and I have also been diagnoses with Hashimoto's, but do these results indicate I have now gone overactive? I had a full hysterectomy a year and a half ago and I'm not sure if that

Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and asking for my 18 year old daughter. I've come over from the Thyroid UK forum at their suggestion. She's been quite unwell for about 3-4 years slowly getting worse. We've been stuck with unhelpful medics both private and NHS who have not got anywhere with her symptoms

support for tapering ropinerol
I have been on Ropinerol for about 5 years and trying to taper after Increasing the dosage, every year due to earlier leg ache and increased area of pain. When I started it was below my knee and now it’s entire leg. I was up to 2 mg in January and my new primary care suggested I could cut my pill in

Low levels of iron good for us?
Hey, folks, been coming across articles talking about how our bad cells crave iron and in fact can cause iron deficiencies by using it up. Many supplements are iron chelators, including turmeric. Anyway, just got iron results back and they are on the very low end of normal. And I am thinking this
