The areas under my eyes look so dark, I am guessing from the lack of
iron
, as within a day or 2 of my period ending the darkness fades slightly.

Advice appreciated...im confused
My ferritin is 25 and tablets aren't working so I need to speak to GP as I know better
iron
will help conversion. Do I need to decrease my meds and/or add T3?

zinc and magnesium dosage
I take vit d, and
iron
and folic acid as my nhs blood tests showed I was deficient. My b12 was fine. I also take Selenium. I believe I should be taking magnesium and zinc too but wasn’t sure at what dosage and if anyone had any recommendations on brands? Thanks a million!

Your help in understanding please?
I thought it would either be my thyroid or
iron
levels (this is a common theme). My TSH came back slightly high at 4.6 even though medicated at 100mcg daily but my GP decided to test the antibodies as he was concerned that it was increasing even though medicated.

PBC and skin hyperpigmentation
Do any of you have skin darkening I saw online that it is one of the symptoms of PBC although could mean Addison disease,
iron
overload or some symptoms of certain cancers as well. Please help if you can. Shayn

Thalassemia: Lessons in Perseverance and Compassion
The pump infuses a medication that rids my body of excess
iron
accumulated from the blood transfusions. I continue this regimen now, using the pump 15 to 24 hours daily, with additional oral chelators.
