Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Could anyone look at her
Iron
tests and comment on the under range TIBC and UIBC results? Or anything else
iron
related. How much methyl B12 should she be taking? She has been on Liposomal B Complex with 500mcg B12 for nearly three months. She has various methylation-related gene mutations.

Latest appointment update…..ET investigation
I must admit I always thought you had to be actually Anaemic to affect your platelets but apparently in some cases
Iron
deficiency without anaemia alone can do this….

BMB and ET diagnosis
Iron
is OK. My Haem said that if an underlying cancer was the cause, it would have manifested itself by now.

Furosemide
I saw a neurologist for the first time at Newcastle (UK) last November, and she prescribed a low dose of Gabapentin (300mg) and
iron
infusion. After 6 weeks the
iron
infusion kicked in and virtually stopped the rls.

Lupus or another Autoimmune Disease?
I’m 50 yr old female with issues, RLS, Hashimotos, Autoimmune Atrophic Chronic Gastritis, intestinal Metaplasia,
Iron
Deficiency Anemia w/transfusions, B12 deficiency, and now this horrible hip and joint pain. I know if you have one Autoimmune Disease you’re likely to have more.

Elevated liver enzymes
It's really annoying doing everything right and still getting worse 😭 Do you think that
iron
supplements can be the cause? Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks for reading this long post :)

Low hemoglobin but high erythrocytes count
I will also mention that I have very low
iron
. What can this mean? Could this be a sign of disease progression? My doctor always just gives me a paper with the results and is very reluctant to answer my questions 🤨 Here are my results:

iron
supplements to see if they help but I wouldn’t even know what dose to take.does anyone have any experience coming off Gabapentine? Should I be worried about even starting down this path of Gabapentine or am I overreacting

Peg interferon
I don't take any
iron
supplements but have been drinking Actimel,now know it's crap and won't do that anymore. So I guess that is a factor. Now she wants me take 135mcg of peg interferon from the next 3 wks to see if things improve. Has anyone taken that much.

End of my patience really unsure what to do feel completely alone and like nobody is listening Consultant confusing me what is wrong with me
I’m exhausted but been back to gp in between for bloods and apparently my
iron
is fine. She says she forgot to refer me for mri and says she will do it now and no point as fully expects to find endometriosis when she opens me up for hysterectomy.

If I increase armour I get hypo due to cortisol and
iron
issues. Do you think if I go from 75mcg to 100mcg of t4 tirosint this may lift my t4 up more? just to add my armour is going out of date this month and tirosint went out of date last month. Not sure if this makes a difference too much?

Intestinal upset (diarrhea, tiredness, slight nausea) from ferrous sulfate?
Could my problem be due to
iron
sulfate? Is so, why now after taking it for years? If its the
iron
sulfate why are there days where I feel fine? Also, I'm wondering if anyone else has have a similar adverse effect from
iron
sulfate? How bad and what were your symptoms? How long did they last?
