Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and asking for my 18 year old daughter. I've come over from the Thyroid UK forum at their suggestion. She's been quite unwell for about 3-4 years slowly getting worse. We've been stuck with unhelpful medics both private and NHS who have not got anywhere with her symptoms

Iron. So confused.
Hi all, I'm going crazy with trying to understand what is going on with my iron levels right now. I recently got a NHS iron panel test that came back high - suggesting iron overload to which my GP panicked, but critically they missed off serum ferritin as there was a national reagent shortage. Following

Abnormally high thyroid levels
Hi all, I 'd like some advice with these abnormally high test results. For the first time ever, my free T4 is out of range- too high-, and so is my Vit D. My TSH is also low, but I've had that before. I have Hashimotos and am on Levothyroxine 200mcg. My GP wants to reduce my Levo to alternating days

Blood Tests for Children
Hi all Finally managed to get blood tests for my children but annoyingly, my daughter was not tested for all cofactors - just B12. Son is being tested tomorrow and I want to give him a list to give to the nurse, but I can’t remember all the cofactors. Not one off my best days today! B12 Vitamin

Ferritin iron advice please
Hello, My recent ferritin results was 21% of range, even though iron was 78%. I did neglect iron the last few weeks a bit as I ran out of my usual iron tablets. I have now Solgar's Gentle Iron 20 and iron in a liposomal form (gel) 20 mg as well. How many should I be taking to raise it? Thank you

Low UIBC result from bloodwork?
Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172 UIBC

Timing your tea/coffee (even decaff) for best iron absorption from diet and supplements
Coffee with a hamburger meal found to reduce iron absorption from that meal by 39% and tea by 64% Having coffee one hour before a meal, no effect on absorption of food iron. Having coffee 1 hour after a meal had the same impact on absorption as having it during the meal. Link https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Pregabalin dose increase?
Hi, I am on Pregabalin 150 mg and still struggle with RLS, PLMD and twitching toes plus grinding teeth. Fortunately I have managed to get a super job and starting work tomorrow. Yippee 😁 Unfortunately, I will be starting work @ 7.00 a m. and it's full time. In the UK for some reason it's super hard
