update on subacute thyroiditis
Just posting an update on my experience with subacute thyroiditis. Thanks for the support in this forum! Since mid August I was quite unwell with classic symptoms of thyroiditis (significant neck pain, high inflammatory markers) and became quite thyrotoxic. I was eventually given a course of steroids

Blood result and raised MCV
Hi everyone. I had a recent blood test as I've been supplementing with gentle iron, general A-Z vits and B12 since the spring. I particularly wanted to check up on my iron/ferritin status. I've never had a positive diagnosis of PA, or even of B12 deficiency as my levels have always been 'in range'.

Low ferritin again
Unsurprisingly my ferritin has fallen back to the very bottom of the range yet again after i ceased iron supplements back in march. Raised a call with the surgery this morning and within 6 minutes of raising the call online it had been closed by the enhanced care practitioner as saying no action required

one last question ( hopefully)
I have finally managed to get an appointment with my GP where I hope to convince him to give me B12 injections more often that once every 8 weeks and I never had a loading doses so am hoping for that too. I hope I can get him to do some tests, like size shape and number of red blood cells, intrinsic

Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia: Potential Risk Factors in Bone Loss
Members are likely all too familiar with patients being told that they are suffering osteopenia or osteoporosis due to having too much thyroid hormone. And, especially, too much T3. While it is important to realise that there is a case to be made regarding excess thyroid hormone, it is just as important

Does anybody know about Baclofen for RLS ?
I have been quiet for a few week's when my Ferritin levels were at 14 so a new Dr. put me on to Iron Sulphate and the level went up to 134 so they are wanting me to keep taking the Iron. I take a pill every other day with orange juice, thought it was helping my leg's and arm's but no ! After 3 night's

Iron supplementation
Hi I have Hashimoto's - as yet untreated due to fluctuating TSH levels. My symptoms are numerous, and due to low levels of B12 and vitamin D, I am supplementing those. I am gluten Soy and Dairy free. My ferritin has been historically low and the GPs have frequently me prescribed Ferrous Fumarate.

Blood test results in full. Can anyone find a cause in there for my continued fatigue etc?
I still have the same symptoms, although some have improved a bit, but not gone, by any means. Still housebound. I list below Blood test results. Can anyone suggest an issue that may cause my symptoms because my GP says no action, normal. Serum 25 - HO Vit D3 level 135nmol/L 50-174

Please enlighten me!!!
I have not had labs since 2023 and needed new RX. The following are results from 4/11 at which time I had not taken any thyroid meds for one week. I had really been concerned about the possibility of heart issues due to over 6 months of extreme fatigue, inability to do even light excercise, shortness
