Fluctuating T4?
Hi all, Would really appreciate some advice on fluctuating free T4 levels - having had a dose increase from 50 to 75mg end of September 23, T4 finally went up to 16.7 (range 11.50 -22.7) in December - I know this still needs improvement and I still have the full range of symptoms but doctors wouldn't

GP appointment went well!
So I had a follow up appointment about my latest blood results… vitamin D was at 174 and ferritin at 43.5 ug/L (20.0 - 130.0) My GP was not concerned about my vitamin D level and said resume at whatever I am taking as it’s not a toxic level 🤷🏻♀️ The ferritin level however he agreed is in range but

Bloating
Hi....I've battled with IBS for many years and following endoscopy and gastroscopy I was diagnosed with a lazy stomach. Dietary controls and careful eating seemed to keep things under control with minimal 'episodes' of wind, bloating and diarrhea. Fast forward a few years and following a prolonged course

Slow growth for 1 twin
hello, 24 .5 weeks, twins, 47yo, plenty of fibroids, donor egg (28 yo), 3 embryos reduced to 2 in T1 My echo yesterday showed that while my daughter is growing nicely (72nd percentile), my son’s growth has slowed down massively (40th-> 6th percentile). This is worrisome and may have 2 main reasons

Completely lost
I’m 72 & in general good health (I think) except for Osteopenia and that I inherited Restless Legs from my mum. I started on .25mg Ropinirole 7 years ago which was like magic but it’s slowly increased to 3x.25mg per night. Perhaps not a big dose but I learned via this site it’s best to switch from Ropinirole

So from looking at previous posts, am I right in thinking: First thing - Levothyroxine With breakfast - b vitamins (start with b12 and a week later add b complex?) and vitamin

Anxiety and P.A.
I had not really been prone to anxiety or depression until 3 years ago when after lots of difficult times in addition to my physical health issues, I started to suffer terribly with general anxiety and a whirring unsettled state of mind. Lots of crying. After many months during which I paid for expensive

High thyroid TPO antibodies, 14 year old.
Hi all, my daughter has high thyroid antibodies and they are getting higher . Pretty sure they are at 117 currently. All other testing is ok. She is on iron supplements for previously low iron and heavy periods. Should I be concerned, what should I do. The doctor doesn’t seem to worried. Thanks

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

Ferritin and depression anxiety!
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the link between low ferritin and depression and anxiety! It seems I have had my thyroid levels optimal for a while now… me being me thought that because I had raise my ferritin from 40 to 80 that it would stay there with a measly maintenance dose of 20mg

Hi There, I have recently been diagnosed with PV, I am JAk2 V617F positive 61% and my blood cells are all within normal levels, even my hematocrit. 3 years ago I suffered with portal and splenic vein thrombosis and have been on appixaban ever since. A few months before the thrombosis appeared blood

I think Tramadol has caused my RLS
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'd love some advice, please. I have MS - I was diagnosed in the late 90s. I'm lucky that it hasn't affected me badly (yet), but I do suffer from pretty severe nerve pain. I managed it with Co-Codamol 30/500 for years. I'd been prescribed 8 per day but rarely took more

Grandfather FIT test result of 200...
Pretty worried right now.My grandad is 86. Has type 2 diabetes and so has regular bloods. In a blood test about 3 months ago, the GP noticed his iron was low. They re tested it again and it was falling dramatically. He feels tired and breathless also. He did a FIT stool test and it came back as 200.
