Iron Blood Test out of range - advice please!
I'm taking 2 x 20mg Thorne
Iron
Bisglycinate 25mg tablets on alternate days. Looking at my last results, things were going in the right direction then (having changed brand of
iron
and taking alternate days)...however does this result show I am now over supplementing?

I would have thought the
iron
infusions would have helped but they don’t seem to have made a difference. Any insight on possible options? He is currently using THC and a sleeping pill, Mirtazapine which sometimes helps through the first 3-4 hour of sleep.

Keep taking the tablets!
I told her I need
iron
tablets, not B12 tablets, as my Ferritin and HB are on a slow downward slide and have been for years. No, no, she says, they're still within normal limits. Well they are - just! I despair sometimes.

Help with blood test results and symptoms please
I am gluten- free and have been taking Vitamin D3 and
iron
/ B vitamins for the last few weeks. I stopped my
iron
/b vitamins a week before my blood tests, which were taken at 8.30am after fasting. I am not taking levothyroxine or other thyroid medication.

Latest results, any opinions please?
My plan is to wait til my T4 is around 70% before making any judgements about need for T3 or not, and also before retesting cortisol which was a bit low before, and also before (re)considering HRT, and retesting
Iron
(my results were a bit perplexing before, maybe ferritin was falsely high?).

Have I cardiac haemolytic anaemia or haven't I?
The spectacular increase in ferritin follows an
iron
infusion on May 30 and appears to be too much of a good thing (reference range is 30-400) and may partially explain my current fatigue. The other factor is low Vitamin D, and my GP has suggested tablets.

T3/T4 and Anxiety
I am now getting my supplements in order to help with my B12/Folate/D3/
Iron
. And then in a couple of weeks, after another thyroid panel tests, I plan to try out T3 medicine. I have a couple of questions 1) Over last year, my T4 was higher than the range while T3 was in the lower range.

High transferritin saturation?
Hello, is there anyone with this issue even though their actual
iron
levels aren't high? Im vegetarian, mostly dairy free and gluten free so unlikely to be getting lots of
iron
. I haven't been taking
iron
supplements either.

latest blood results… vitamin D was at 174 and ferritin at 43.5 ug/L (20.0 - 130.0) My GP was not concerned about my vitamin D level and said resume at whatever I am taking as it’s not a toxic level 🤷🏻♀️ The ferritin level however he agreed is in range but quite low so has agreed to do a full

Can low iron cause intolerance to thyroxine?
Could my low
iron
results be the cause of this intolerance? I’m feeling totally lost with it all and just feel more and more in pain whilst taking these meds. (Bloods due next week so nothing to share rn) Thanks GTS

Ferritin dropping, FT3 is not great
I've read about the advice to try buy the expensive heme
iron
from the US, is that what I should do? I'm not sure what an '
iron
panel' test is, which I've read about on this forum, should I ask for this?

Heavy bleeding Mirena
I bleed even when I'm meant be ovulating just constant heavy bleeding which makes me exhausted - I'm on
iron
supplements but I hate them as they give me severe constipated.

Latest results - 6 weeks pregnant
Also reduced my
iron
supplement - will post
iron
results separately. I have also since found out I'm pregnant!!! Now 6 weeks and feeling alright so far (wondering if the B12 drops might be helping as not feeling half as sick compared with last pregnancy?! Time will tell!)

Ferritin and TSI results.
I stopped taking
iron
while I was undergoing investigation. I was taking 28mg
iron
bisglycinate x2 on alternate days. I intend to go back on the
iron
following polyp removal on Friday. It is possible that the bowel polyp was bleeding and I’m hoping things will normalise in time.
