dose increase?
Good morning I’m looking for a bit of advice about whether I should increase my Levothyroxine dose now, or wait a little while. I currently take 125/137.5 alternate days. I took a test after 6 weeks and have attached a picture of the results. I also had an iron panel done at the same time and, as per

Blood Results TSH Low need your help with adjusting Dosage
Hi everyone I need some help again with my blood test results please. Ive been to the Endocronologist recently and based on my blood tests TSH too low she has decreased my Thyroxine by 1 tablet a week ie 75mg. (I was taking 75mg/day 7 days). I also take this 2hours before breakfast to help absorption

Iron deficiency
After blood tests showed low ferritin and other values indicating iron deficient anaemia, the NHS did a fairly thorough job over 6 months with various tests and procedures to eliminate internal bleeds as a cause ( anticoagulant doesn't help!). Finally given the all clear and advised that iron supplementation

Can low iron cause intolerance to thyroxine?
hello, Please see my prev post for my iron results. Since starting levo last year I have felt increasingly unwell on it. Mainly crippling joint and muscle pain which isn’t present when I’m not taking it, unfortunately the introduction of t3 at end of last year has only worsened this too. I can hardly

Need advice on my tremor symptoms
Hi all, I would very much appreciate some advice on my symptoms. I am not on medication yet but am taking mucana, b1, l-tyryosine, b complex and magnesium. I am a year away from diagnosis. Is this typical of PD? My Dr. is unsure as well. He is going to probably put me on sinemet to see how I respond

Need advice on these blood test results - wondering if it might be hypo, but Dr's all say numbers are fine.
I have just stumbled upon this site, and am hoping that you knowledgeable people can help me out.
The short story:
I'm undiagnosed, never been on any thyroid hormones. Feeling unwell for over 2 years - fatigue/tiredness, weight gain, hair loss (decreased hair density on scalp), loss of outer third

Cracked it .... and then it came back !
Hi everyone, A while ago I posted about how my RLS had virtually gone following the use of vitamin B1, in addition to the usual magnesium. Fennel also appeared to help. I am diabetic (type 2) and appear to have some form of neuropathy in the feet which can feel numb sometimes but not to the touch

Just a Ropinerol update
I'm now on 1.5mg from 6mg and starting to struggle. I had my bloods doneand my ferritin level was pretty low, so my GP has started me on iron. I'm also taking magnesium too. I've found having an electric blanket really helpful. It seems to be relaxing to my nerves. I'm starting to jerk a bit now throughout

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor
