I posted my daughters pre hysterectomy bloods in September and had some excellent advice. She has redone the blood tests and I still think the thyroid test results are strange. She has been on iron for 8 weeks. The first results are for September. And the second for

First SI, the pain, ouch!
Hello everyone, Asking for help again on my SI journey please š Yesterday I did my first IM injection into the thigh following a video by a UK GP. It hurt much less than the one I had done in the arm at a clinic 2 weeks ago (to check no allergic reaction) so I thought great, this is the way to go

Need advice on these blood test results - wondering if it might be hypo, but Dr's all say numbers are fine.
I have just stumbled upon this site, and am hoping that you knowledgeable people can help me out.
The short story:
I'm undiagnosed, never been on any thyroid hormones. Feeling unwell for over 2 years - fatigue/tiredness, weight gain, hair loss (decreased hair density on scalp), loss of outer third

Sudden recent darkness under eyes
Hey, all, I think I know that a lot of people have dark area around their eyes just as part of their normal selves. But I have never had any rings under my eyes. But in the last couple days, have definitely noticed slightly dark rings under my eyes. I am thinking this is more likely a nutrient issue

Another updateā¦.high plateletsā¦.
Just a quick recap and an update on my latest appointmentā¦. I have been under the care of an Haematologist for two years now, referred by my GP for consistently high platelet counts found during routine blood tests. Platelets usually around 565, highest being 622. I have no symptoms although I do also

Running on Empty with Headspace
So why am I running on empty today? On Monday after a lovely day with my brother and sister at Birmingham's Christmas Market with Gluwein and a long lunch, it was off to the city's donation centre to give blood. I know from last time, that it takes 2-3 weeks to get my iron levels up sufficiently to run

b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped

How reliably does NHS retest Blood iron levels after IV Iron?
my new NHS gastroenterologist ordered my iron infusion when my GP alerted her to what they are calling complex iron deficiency blood test results, some longstanding. I was given Ferinject on April 11th. The infusion appointment letter says: the physician who is looking after you may follow up with

Right dose of Besremi
Hi, I last posted here four months ago while awaiting the effects of Besremi: https://healthunlocked.com/mpnvoice/posts/149899645/pv-with-exon-12-mutation-besremi-treatment-experiences After my initial two doses of 150 mcg, I experienced a fivefold increase in AST and ALT levels, and my leukocytes

Latest Thyroid Tests
Hi all, These were done at 10:30am, so a bit later than ideal. I was on 75mcg of levothyroxine at the time. Before I got the results the Dr already gave me a prescription for 100 mcg, which I have now been taking for around a week:
Free Thyroxine:
15.31 pmol/L [10.4 - 19.4 pmol/L]

Can someone please help me answer the Why questions?
I am 81 and never had the advantage of a university education. I feel I really need to try and understand some questions about my RLS and PLMD if I am ever to be able to manage this disease. I read on this forum that experts think that a major cause of RLS is lack of sufficient iron in the blood circulating

Possible underactive thyroid?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and would love some advice from people who actually know what they're talking about as I currently feel like I'm being fobbed off by everyone! I am 42 years old, and have struggled with symptoms that I have always considered to be thyroid related but every NHS test came back

Just a Ropinerol update
I'm now on 1.5mg from 6mg and starting to struggle. I had my bloods doneand my ferritin level was pretty low, so my GP has started me on iron. I'm also taking magnesium too. I've found having an electric blanket really helpful. It seems to be relaxing to my nerves. I'm starting to jerk a bit now throughout
