Iron tablets - difference?
Iām based in the UK and am currently taking Ferrous Fumerate (switched from Ferrous Sulphate) to try to increase ferritin levels. My Ferritin levels had gone up and now seem to have dropped a little for some reason - new tests being done soon. I donāt know if this Ferrous Bisglycinate is available

Oral iron regimen
I had an iron infusion (Newcastle uk) last December which put my serum ferritin up from 37 to 237, and helped considerably. However, it has gradually slipped back to 180, so I am hoping to start the oral gentle iron. Please can someone remind me of the best time to take these, and dosage. The tablets

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.

Pramipexole, Mirtazapine and RLS
Hi,I suffered from RLS for 12yrs, but never took any medications. Earlier this year after discovering I had ferritin of 18, a short course of iron supplements increasing my ferritin to 55 resolved all RLS symptoms. A few weeks ago I unfortunately developed insomnia due to anxiety and GP commenced Mirtazapine

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

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

Iron - test results - advice please
Hi - In a nutshell I'm hypothyroid with a lot of stomach issues - gastritis amongst other things - plus poor converter (I have the dud deiodinase enzyme - test done privately) I mentioned to the GP that I also get a bit out of breath - when I read about 'air hunger' on here it really struck a chord.

Low iron levels with a heart condition
Pre heart condition (pre 2021) my iron levels had always been really good (around 140 ug/L) but since then they've dropped massively (currently 32 ug/L). To make matters worse, I unfortunately had a bowel bleed in February 2023 resulting in need a blood transfusion. I was put on ferrous sulphate for

pragabalin
thank you Sue for your advice on Pragabalin, my doctor has now increased my dose to 150mg which is a lot better, I have been on this dose for 7 days. I have some side effects, like headache, bowels not as bad as with gabapentin, Iām hoping these will pass, my question is should I be taking iron tablets

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
