On Thyroxine - 8 weeks bloods shows TSH has dropped but still feel dreadful.
Hi all I’m on daily 50mg Levothyroxine for 8 weeks after private bloods showed the following; TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2) T3 4.1 (R 3.1-6.8) T4 14.6 (R 12-22) High antibodies so likely Hashimotos. GP was reluctant to prescribe me, but did at the advice of an Endocrinologist. For reference I am 5ft

Benefit of iron for Restless Sleep Disorder/ADHD in children
https://www.mdpi.com/2514-183X/7/3/18 Another fascinating article confirming the benefits ( and safety) of iron infusions for children with restless sleep disorder and/or ADHD. The required serum ferritin levels are between 50-100. As with adults, there do seem to be 'non responders' to iron therapy

Update for my daughter re loading injections. and the rest.
My daughter has her appt with GP yesterday - she's 19 and although I was planning to go, had to agree when she said she wanted to do it on her own. Which I regretted! Here is the earlier thread which contains her results etc.: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/149760385/daughter-starting-b12-

Iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low, including ferritin. My grasp of iron is poor so anyone who
does

Gabapentine or Pregabalin?
I am wondering whether there is any difference between Gabapentine and Pregabalin in terms of effectiveness. I take 2400 mg Gabapentine per day in 3X800 mg doses, but while I sleep my ok wife cannot sleep because of my movement. I am wondering if there is any other possible treatment that might work

Ferrittin level (Different Opinions)
Last Wednesday (26th July) I had my 3 monthly blood test in relation to my Myelofibrosis and asked for my Ferrittin level and TSATS to be checked also. The Nurse/Clinician found Ferrittin on the data base but not TSATS and was a bit baffled by the whole TSATS thing. I concluded that I would only get

Recommendations for Iron panel?
Hello, Does anyone use an Iron Panel test which they can recommend? We have used Medichecks but got in such a pickle with the ferritin ranges/versus NHS ferritin range and results that I am looking for another company. Or to be honest it may have just been me who couldn't work it out. Just looking

Hi everyone,
Hi, I’m going to see my GP son about my restless legs but also, I’m waking up extremely disoriented. I wake up and for 15 minutes, I stare at my hands trying to work out why I can’t Google anything. Eventually I worked out that it was because I didn’t have my phone in my hands. It was the weirdest

Not anemia? Lab results question.
It's been a couple months since my last iron infusion. Last week, I had labs drawn, and results included: [H] WBC (18.1), RDW (16.4), Platelets (614), Creatinine (1.04); [L] MCH (24.1), MCHC (30.5), Iron (22); [LL] Iron Saturation (7). Hemoglobin was just within normal range at 11.2, and
