Evening primrose oil and hashimotos
Hi, Does anyone know if there are any reasons to avoid taking evening primrose oil if you have hashimotos and take levothyroxine? Suffering with fibrocystic breast pain and have been told previously by GP that evening primrose oil can help with that, but wouldn't want to cause any issues to my thyroid

Low Iron
Hi guys! Like suggested lve done my full Iron panel! Could you please recommend the best dietary iron sources, except for liver pâté, which I'm already aware of? Also, if I'm unable to eat enough iron daily, are there any highly absorbable iron supplements you could recommend? I've been taking Spatone

T3 and magnesium / electrolyte supplements: I messed up, but is it just the supplements to blame?
I have been on the same dose of T4 and T3 for the last 7 months ( T4: 82mcg and T3:22.5 mcg). I was then diagnosed with ADHD end of April and started taking Lisdexamfetamine plus electrolyte supplements. (Magnesium citrate, plus : Electrolyte complex - Ingredients: Calcium salts of orthophosphoric

Hi, can anyone offer any ideas as to why ferritin has jumped from 37(mid-June) to 85.4 this wk aside from infection please?
Hi Wonder if I can pick your brains again please? My ferritin was 48 prior to loading dose March/April, then lowered to 37 which I understand is normal thing to happen on the 8wk check. I’ve just completed a yearly pinprick test(I know maybe not as reliable, but sale on &needs must!) and ferritin has

Hashimotos blood test results - Iron supplementation advice needed! Thank you
Hi again, This forum has been the most helpful support. Could you support me in understanding next steps following the below test results? In particular, my iron panel results seem to be very low, and I am not sure how to correct that. How should I start to supplement? I was diagnosed with hashimotos

Advice please on blood results especially possible iron issues.
I would be very grateful for any advice on my recent blood results please. I am concerned that for first time ever MCH and MCHC are just over range. My serum B 12 has historically been at top of range without supplementing. This has now dropped lower although still high in range. Never feel well although

Excess Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Clinical Implications?
This is a very recent paper. Some of the areas covered are well-known. Such as not treating B12 deficiency with folic acid. But, in the more speculative parts, I think it does raise questions over the prescribing of high dose (e.g. 5 milligrams a day) of folic acid in those who are currently low in

Is iron spray any good for night-time dosing?
Has anyone any experience with using iron supplement in spray format? Presumably you’d need a few squirts but better tolerated? Contains iron in the form ferric sodium edtate & ferric ammonium citrate.

Help!
I am a 57 year old male. I've been feeling very tired and run down over the past months. I've been suffering from bouts of dizziness and my balance has become a real problem. My G.P. has run a whole range of blood tests. One of the tests carried out was Iron Profile and another was the Haematinics

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

ferritin still low
As mentioned before my ferritin is 13, can’t tolerate any oral form and have had infusions in the past. Am being denied infusion as Full bloods are within range, no idea what to do now, eating plenty of iron rich foods, feeling really unwell and down. Recent test results: B12=651(187-883), vit D=92(
