Advice on Iron levels
Serum Ferritin level blood test has come back showing at 15 ug/l - is this low? Doctor saying it is low normal rangeand not normally consdered as iron deficiency - but am presenting symptoms and thought range was 15.0 - 300.0 ug/L. Advise needed please.

What’s the protocol for GP actioning full iron panel?
It’s become apparent that my daughter’s ferritin levels are deficient and she’s going to put in a request to her GP for a full iron panel. I routinely read here that one shouldn’t supplement with iron based on a low ferritin reading alone but I’d like to know what the supporting information for this

advice needed please re iron and thyroxine
hi there, I’d really appreciate some advice. I’ve been on Thyroxine for a number of years and have been fine, I’ve just been told that I have Anaemia and have started on Ferrous Fumarate tabs 210 mg. I’ve started to feel tearful and anxious this last week and wonder if the iron is affecting my thyroid

High TSH, increasing TPO antibodies, latest results!
Hi everyone! I'll be a pin cushion by the time I'm done doing these home blood tests..... So I decided to do the full health plus tpo from Monitor My Health (who currently have 20% off all their tests, annoyingly!) on Monday, results came back early this morning. I will upload screenshots rather than

From oxy to buprenorphine
I had my iron levels tested and all is good, not a candidate for infusion. Dr. Buchfuhrer suggested I switch from oxycodone to buprenorphine and tonight I did. Was nervous to go off of Oxy as it worked, but I noticed it was wearing off earlier and earlier. At 5 mg three times a day, I didn’t want

Celiac and CKD
I am wondering if anyone here has celiac? I have stage 4 kidney disease and celiac. I’m tired all the time to the point that I am not exercising like I should. I need procrit shots weekly just to keep my iron levels at the bare minimum. I’m not particularly interested in eating which may make the situation

Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite

Busy, busy, busy!
Hello,, everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello!' as i've been really busy lately and not getting much chance to look in at the Forum. I sometimes get chance to read but not much time to respond - only to very few! I had COVID again a few weeks ago which has left me with an aversion to certain

Low Iron
Hi everyone, Wondered if anyone has had experience with SVT and low iron? I’ve just found out that I have extremely low iron stores which explains a lot of my symptoms, including a fast heart rate and wondering whether anyone knows whether it could cause atrial tachycardia? I am really hoping once

Iron Infusions
Hi all, just wondering if anyone in this group has ever had an iron infusion? When I was first diagnosed with my B12 deficiency, they also found that my vitamin D was deficient and my iron was only just in normal. Vitamin D is now fine on the daily tablets, but I've been struggling for about 18 months

T4 14.8 TSH 3.41
Hi, I’m new to the forum and blood tests in general so hopefully I will give relevant info. I’m 54 and have had fatigue for the past 6 months. I’ve always been fairly low energy but this is a different level. I am 10 years post menopause so it’s not that, and I’ve been on HRT a long time. My blood

Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here
