PBC and skin hyperpigmentation
maybe someone can help me with this. I have positive ANA 1280. Positive AMA M2 120. Positive Anticentromere 160. These were discovered in 2014 when I started having symptoms which turned out to be Lupus. Since the M2 was positive I have been seeing a Liver specialist once a year with annual ultrasounds

Good morning everyone - following my last post when I was suffering a backslide from my previous post when I was feeling so much better - you recommended me to get a full private test - initially to get a T3 reading, but as I was unsure of my Folate /Vit D etc I went for the full Advanced Thyroid test

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?

Persuading GP to test T3
My daughter has been on thyroxin for the last 10 years. During that time she has had two babies and recently been anaemic. She has taken iron tablets with only a little improvement and now stopped because she feels fed up with taking them. I suggested she should bring her yearly blood test forward a

underactive thyroid
hi there I’ve had an under active thyroid for 8 years and recently gained weight and losing iron. My doctor has said my neck thyroid reading is ok but my “brain reading is slower” Does this make sense to anyone? Also, how do people take iron and vitamin d as I have read not to take it near medication

I am new to this forum and have found it extremely helpful and hopeful. I’m a 70 year old woman and developed RLS a couple of years ago. My GP prescribed ropinirole and it has helped. However, having recently learned about augmentation, which I have now experienced, I’m committed to finding a better

New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo
Changed

Have only just found this page which is so full of great info, wish I’d discovered it sooner! I have suffered from rls on and off for a long time but the past 18 months it’s nearly every night. It is bad at night and lack of sleep and frustration is driving me mad. First dctr last year gave me sleeping

I can’t put my finger on it.,
I’ve been reading some of your bios and you can pinpoint what started your journey down this path. I can not. I came from what I would call a “normal “ family. We had a dairy farm. My dad worked as an iron miner until they shut down in the early sixties. My mom stayed at home. There was never any problem
