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

Heading in the right direction
Iron
: in range but low end Folate: low end of range I have had my levothyroxine upped to 75mcg. Then review again in six weeks. Test shows its auto immune problem. I maybe being impatient..... but does the tiredness improve? I am signed off work until the end of July.

Iron supplement help
I have ordered the three arrows
iron
repair to see if I can increase ferritin. Can anyone tell me from my recent results, if one 20mg capsule a day would push my other results over the range? Or would it take a much larger amount? I also take viviscal with 14mg of
iron
in it. Thank you!

Where can I get my mineral levels tested?
I test bloods, including vitamins and
iron
, regularly. But I have no idea what my zinc and magnesium etc. levels are. Is there a home test kit I can use that doesn't cost the earth?

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?

Odd pressure pain when sitting down or laying down on back!.
Weight has fluctuated enormously and ive had unexplained
iron
deficiency for maybe 10 Years. This pain started just Weeks after the first c vax in May 2021 so it concerns me that something in the immune system maybe be wrong. Hope you understand!.

Underactive Thyroid?
Finally had my
iron
and b12 reviewed and whilst low end were deemed 'normal'. I have had three months of
iron
tablets and five b12 injections which have helped with some of the above but now feel like symptoms have returned as this was three months ago now.

GP knew less than I did about RLS :’-(
She seemed to think
iron
wouldn’t help as I’m not anemic. I’m going to buy
iron
supplements anyway and paracetamol and codeine tablets as it’s all getting too much. She’s referring me to a neurologist but that’ll take months. I feel so disappointed. She apologised for not knowing much about it.

First Appointment - venting
I wanted to cry when I pointed at my low
iron
/ 19% transferrin, asking if they think it could be causing fatigue and they said “I only test ferritin, the rest don’t matter”.
