How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
Dear friends, I would like advice on how to stagger my Levo before my next blood test on 8th. I normally take my 75mcg tab in two halves,, half in the morning and half in the evening.

Update 7.2
On the whole the news continues to be good, with a bit of a caveat or two As my iron levels increase, so does the erythropoiesis. Not a surprise, just basic PV iron physiology. While I have been hovering above and below goal of 45%, the last two reads were 46.0 and 47.9. HGB is also steadily increasing

It is NOT present on wiping, or staining the toilet water, only on my stool. my doctor has ordered blood work

Iron deficiency anemia and increased A1C levels
Have those of you who receive phlebotomy for PV experienced elevated A1C levels? I get phlebotomies ever couple of weeks, which as expected, has caused me to be iron deficient and a bit anemic (HGB 11.1, Ferritin <3 ng/mL, Iron 29, Transferrin 6%, UIBC 434, and IBC 463). I am also on 2 aspirin/

Magnesium for RLS
Merry Christmas! While I've said the below in various Replies, I thought I'd put it in a post. I've been taking at least 400mg a day of magnesium citrate for some years now, since I had it recommended to me by a relative: 600mg a day initially stopped my RLS within days, and 400mg a day (the amount suggested

Are my iron levels ok?

Iron Levels with CLL
Ive been having issues with low iron and as a result I'm on/off iron supplements. I also started taking acalabrutinib in May.

Ferritin level is lower
My blood results are now TSATs 26 and Ferritin is 95. However in August my TSATs were 29 and Ferritin 217. I am still taking iron alternate days with vitamin c. Can anyone advise how I can improve my ferritin levels please? Also why would ferritin have reduced so much? Thankyou

Help with GP gaslighting
My GP is calling my latest thyroid results ‘borderline’ and doesn’t think it explains my symptoms. I’m livid! 19 months I’ve been waiting for my blood results to get outside NHS normal range from low in range. Now at TSH 0.32 (range is 0.35+). I have an enlarged multinodular goitre, I have iron infusions

anaemia
I’ve recently finished taking pred after a four year struggle. I am now diagnosed with anaemia ! I’ve had two blood tests so far, a urine check, a bowel kit done and am now waiting for a colonoscopy. This is to eliminate anything like internal bleeding. I do not have Celiac disease either. In the mean
