Baffling results on T4&T3!
Serum
iron
19.1 (6-26). I didn’t get B12 or VitD tested this time but I’ve been on supplements (B complex, 1000-2000 VitD) for years and levels are usually fine so hopefully they’re at least ok! Any empathy gratefully received! Thank you 🦋

Ferritin
Since my last infusion approx 18 months ago, I have tried to keep my levels up by taking Gentle
Iron
every other day with orange juice. Evidently this hasn't helped..... I have Coeliac disease and my body just won't retain it. I need ammunition for my gp appointment next week. Many thanks.

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
Iron
has always been very low in range so I’m just wondering if this is the cause for my thyroid dysfunction? Is that possible? Hashi antibodies are both always negative.

Help with Blood Results
I havent had any other
iron
results back to see if they have changed at all. I have recently had some sort of virus where my blood oxygen levels dropped during sleep to 86% for a 2 week period & extreme fatigue. They are back up to normal now. i am left feeling so very tired again.

High platelets update….opinions please…..
I asked my Specialist if I should be on aspirin to thin my blood but she said that as I’m still menstruating regularly then no as it could contribute to depleting my
iron
again.

Jak 2 exon 12
My rbc and hemoglobin and
iron
are all high but my mcv hct mch mchc are all. Within range. I tested negative for jak 2 test last year 2022. But because my rbc and hemoglobin are still up my haematology has done a jak 2 exon 12 because they can't under why my bloods are still up.

Betaine Hydrochloride and ACV-low stomach acid
Also all vits and
iron
in bloods extremely low. Anyway in the past 2 weeks my GERD has been so so bad, its seems to be everything I eat and it is so so painful. I've never been on medication for this, gaviscon just makes it 100 times worse.

What should my optimal vitamin levels be please?
Iron
was low and I’ve recently retested for that after supplementing for about 3 months. Ferritin is now at 65 ug/L Folate has dropped from >45 a year ago to 8.5ug/L My question is what should they ideally be? The range is large, but what is optimal for thyroid function? Many thanks!

Statins
I get a three monthly blood test for
iron
overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a cholesterol blood test as well. All of my results for cholesterol were within the ranges but my doc advised that it’s recommended I go on statins as my Qrisk2 score was above 20%.

Given up with GPs!
As I said before my GP didn’t agree that I needed an
iron
infusion and had never heard of brain
iron
deficiency. I don’t know what to do. Should I take a different kind of supplement? I also take 300mg of Gabapentin 4 hours before bed and 600mg 1-2 hours before bed.

Fyi he is taking
iron
with vit c and his
iron
levels are good. His kidney function is 20% with a transplanted kidney so he must be careful with some drugs.

Medicheck results – help please
I’ve been taking Three Arrows
Iron
off and on, but not regularly.. Also can you explain my high T4 . Does this mean that some is not being converted to T3.

recently told I have possible heart failure
And am taking
iron
supplements, but have not been consistent with this as I was unable to take them before and after several colostomy’s I’ve had to remove polyps etc. I also couldn’t take
iron
when I was in hospital in August with facial cellulitis due to antibiotics I was on.

What the heck, Thyroid!?
I think I may have been selected by whomever makes such selections to have the benefit of every known symptom and malady associated with advance stage PA including
iron
malabsorption/deficiency and gastric cancer.
