Ferritin
Long time Hashimoto's here. Why do we need to check ferritin, and how is it different than checking iron? Thank you.

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

Help interpreting results
Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Thyroid blood test results.
Been on Levothyroxine for 34 years (Hashimotos)Recent private blood test results are: TSH 0.009 Free T3 4.6 Free Thyroxine 26.2 I feel well at this dose but have been advised by GP that I am over medicated. Also, Ferritin is on the low end at 69.1 Do I need to take iron supplements? Vit D is deficient

I can't take it, I'm feeling suicidal
Yesterday I went to a thrift store on my own for the first time, and I accidentally spilled some of the shelves while my dad was calling. And I couldn't pick up the shelves because my dad was rushing me to go home, and left the man in the store to pick that mess. Today I went back and tried to offer

Keep taking the tablets!
I've just been down to the G.P. for my freebie B12 jab. (s.i. at home weekly) I told her that I've been feeling really tired lately, like I did before my P.A. diagnosis, when I was very anemic. So she says, ah, go and buy some B12 tablets from the chemist, that will make you feel better! Cue the lecture
