iron low reason ?
Hi all I saw my Gp again regarding the ferritin I’m on and it’s a low dose and I’m only little bit low in iron but now he wants to check if I’m bleeding anywhere ? So I have to do a home poo test to rule anything else lout ! But of course I’m worried sick now 😩

Help with results please and any advice what to do
Hi, Can anyone advise me on these results please - what they mean/what to do next. I have included some history, but I am not feeling well at the moment so apologise if it is all over the place and a bit patchy. I have just rejoined the forum so have had lots of useful information about testing and

Just looking for help like most of you.
I have been lurking here and on other sites, hoping to find some path to reduce or eliminate if possible my PLMD. I think I have had it for many years, but was officially diagnosed with it during an in lab sleep study I had recently. They found mild sleep apnea which is now well controlled with CPAP

FINALLY found a scientific study that supports my theory about Brain Iron and Serum Iron. Finally!!!
First, the relevant quote from the article: “The serum iron concentration was significantly higher in the RLS group than in the control group, but remained within normal ranges in both groups. In this study, there was a significant correlation between serum and CSF iron concentrations, both in the RLS

Confused about latest blood tests - why are FT4 and FT3 rising, but I still feel awful and I'm undiagnosed and not on any meds?
Sorry for the super long post.... I would very much appreciate the help of you wonderful people on this forum. I am a bit confused with my latest blood test results that I just received yesterday, and am hoping that you will be able to help me understand what's going on. I'll try to keep it brief, while

Iron Results
Could someone advise on my iron blood test please? I've been trying to raise my Ferritin levels since I had a reaction to starting carbimazole and was hospitalised with agranulocytosis 2 years ago. My levels before were 70 and on release from hospital were 19. I've lost tons of hair and lots of symptoms

When ever I think about my own death, I think about the house full of stuff our 3 daughters will have to deal with.

I have RLS and recently updated iron labs revealed the following: Ferritin=59.2ng/mL & Transferrin Saturation = 53%.
I have been taking oral iron supplements (Iron sulfate 325mg) and Vitamin C 200 mg daily on an empty stomach but the ferritin has been going up but slowly but the transferrin saturation has gone up much higher. Should I continue with my iron supplements?

b12 iron relationship?
Hi friends…I was diagnosed with a b12 deficiency in June, which is thankfully improving with injections (I had horrible neuro symptoms). I had my iron tested twice over the summer, both well in the good range (over 100). However, this week I had an iron panel showing my iron is 40 (literally the bottom

Iron deficiency
Hello I’m asking a question with regards to low ferritin levels (17.4). I’m confused whether I should be prescribed folic acid or iron?!

Experiment to switch from Metavive to levothyroxine
On 23rd September 2022 I started to gradually introduce levothyroxine and reduce Metavive until I was on only levo to see if I could manage on this alone. [see post Raising TSH from 11 months ago]. I had hoped to see if I converted T4 to T3 adequately but had to do it myself as my GP wouldn't help with

...I saw these gorgeous ponies on my run today. Hubby's been dead proud of my 60 minutes running last week, that he's been broadcasting my achievements more than me! He even scoped out a new 7k route for me too and this was the reward. Still finding it hard after giving blood a week ago, I just need

update and advice on flights
understanding. She has given me the form to get my iron tested but did say it would be difficult to get anybody to agree to an iv iron transfusion but let’s wait and see what my bloods come back as first. She has prescribed me gabapentin, at my request, but think I may try to manage it a bit again first
