Low iron levels in blood test
Just had a call from A&E who gave me a blood test last night to say my
iron
levels were low and I should make an appt with my GP as soon as possible. Very perplexing because I take a daily B12 supplement and eat a varied diet which is cooked from scratch.

Iron
- normal 4. Ferritin - 197. He wasn't happy about this and is sending me for a liver scan so now I'm crapping myself. Having said that I've looked at several NHS ferritin (high) ranges and they vary from 150-250 so what do I know. LFT was fine. 5. IFA - negative.

Iron every or ever other night?
I'm loathe to increase my
iron
too much, I hate the way it messes up my guts, but I'm now considering taking it every night rather than every other night.I've been taking 280mg
iron
fumarate with Spatone
iron
solution (5mg). Any thoughts?

Question about Ferritin level of 14.
I haven't been here for a few week's because I have been in and out of hospital but in between my RLS has got worse. 2 Dr.s at my Surgery prescribed
Iron
but I couldn't take the liquid because it has cherries and I'm allergic to cherries and then Ferrous Fumarate but they made my stomach pains worse.

RLS the saga continues
Hi fellow survivors As suspected, my GP refused to refer me for I/V
iron
suggesting that I persevere with the oral supplements for another few months.

Could do with an
iron
panel, and will ask the nurse nicely next week at blood test. (Previous ferritin 40, 20-260) Last appointment was March (no testing) when dosage of Levo was reduced to 75! That GP agreed I need to see an endo, but he has since left. 25 years of yo-yoing Levo post RAI.

Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Results came back as low
iron
, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for
iron
supplements etc which I’ve done and taken regular as clockwork. Started HRT (on docs request) and bloods redone show the same low T4.

I bought a gentle
iron
supplement as recommended on the forum but I haven't started it yet. Should I also hold off starting it until I get results of my PA tests ie does supplementing
iron
/ ferritin interfere with test for PA? Many thanks

cortisol and thyroid
My
iron
is low as well will post results (taking three arrows for
iron
). Please note My last result of 175 was at 11:30am picture on post. My question is… I have been suffering with chronic fatigue (diagnosed as ME) although I feel something is obviously causing the chronic fatigue.

So, this is crazy!
The GP's phlebotomist confirmed that there was a TSH/FT4 request AND a separate FT3 request... she did three sequential blood draws, which I was not expecting, as the GP had also requested a full
iron
panel - that I had requested previously, but was refused at that time - AND a B12/folate test - that

Negative HLA-B27
(Dr put me on
iron
pills which I've been taking the last month hence the increase). Question is: negative HLA-B27 is "good" in that unlikely to be AS but to me it's slightly frustrating as jone the wiser still. Got 1st appt with rheumatologist on August 7th so hoping he can shed some light.

Thyroid and iron (pregnancy loss)

pan, spatone
iron
water (taken with orange juice), red meats. Please let me know what you think? Thank you!

What ? and Watt !! 😜
In order for the special processes to occur, we need to have enough co-factors like vitamin B12, vitamin B1 (thiamine) B2, folate and
iron
. If those are low then we cannot get enough oxygen into our system and our power houses do not work effectively. So, our bodies cannot work properly.

can anyone PM me a lovely thyroid specialist that will look at the whole picture - bucks/london/online
Had
iron
infusion, vit d and b vit injections (that I paid for) and want a retest but gp will not test for anything other than TSH as he says t4 is nonsense and he won’t test for the other things that were not tested - antibody’s, selenium,
iron
, magnesium, zinc vit a etc - where can I get these tests
