Experiences with

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency

hello everyone hope your all as good as can be I wonder if you could give me your opinion on these results, thanks Serum iron 10(5.83-34.5) Transferrin 206 (2-3.6) Transferrin saturation 21% (15%-50%) Ferritin 223 no range with this Look forward to hearing from you thanks again

I would like to increase my Ferritin levels but I’m one of those that can’t take iron supplements because the rest of my iron levels, including transferrin saturation, are good. Therefore I should try to increase Ferritin levels via my diet. Unfortunately I can’t eat meat in any form, haven’t done

This is a new one for me. I'm now at 1.5 grains Armour. I weigh 52kg. I waited months for this increase and 5 weeks on, I'm feeling peculiar. Fluttery palpitations, resting heart rate is faster, slight pressure in my chest, head and ears. No energy, lethargic. Haven't really got out of my PJs for a few

A Haematologist appears to have ignored my recent blood test results after I went to see him in the belief my serum iron is too low but ferritin levels are above reference range. I do not understand the implication of this nor the impact of ferritin upon iron levels. I went to see the Haematologist

My fbc shows a couple of indifferent results....with a low MCV but a higher RBC any ideas what I need to do? Can't get to see a doctor til next week now. Any help much appreciated....would it show macryocytic anaemia? Would it suggest iron supplements needed? On the tes it says abnormal repeat blood

Did you know that the symptoms of B12 deficiency are similar to hypothyroidism? https://thyroiduk.org/if-you-are-hypothyroid/the-importance-of-vitamins-and-minerals-hypo/checking-for-b12-deficiency-and-pernicious-anaemia/

Still clawing my way back to some form of better health after contracting Covid in May but things are seemingly going in the right direction. It seems my thyroid med dose is now too high though! Potentially because my folate and iron are so much better with supplementation. I’ve been feeling extra

Hi guys, Had a blood test at my GP after a 3 month course of 305mg Ferrous Fumarate and got results this morning Serum ferritin level: 30 ng/ml [30 - 150]; Note raised CRP. The Ferritin value may be lower than this once; the acute phase response is over.; Ferritin 15-30ug/L may suggest depletion of

Hi, I dose 3 times per day, 6am (Levo & T3) and 2pm and 10pm. Would it be ok to take 2mg of iron as part of a B-complex? I purchased the wrong product a while ago and I don't want to waste money and throw it away. Reading PR's book it states; take thyroid hormone meds 1 hr before iron sups, or take

Hello everyone people have been asking for my blood results i received them today.Sorry for the small writing.I am taking iron and folic acid prescribed by my doctor.And 50 mgs of Levothyroxine.

Adding on to my previous post a few day's ago, with my iron level at 9.3 (10-30) & transferrin saturation at 11.6 (25-45) I'm advised (privately) to consider an iron infusion? Does anyone have any experience of this? Will it be detrimental to my thyroid medication? It feels like renovating a house, you

I have low iron and hypothyroidism. I have been researching the connection between the two and found research that shows that iron feeds the T4/T3 process. So is the root cause of hypo low iron or do they go hand in hand typically? I am taking iron pills, increasing liver intake and supporting my body

Background The current Teva levothyroxine in the UK was introduced as a brand new formulation around 2016. (There was no Teva levothyroxine product for a few years - approximately 2012 to 2016.) Teva introduced 12.5, 25, 50, 75 and 100 microgram dosages. These were the first 12.5 and 75 levothyroxine

An update: I finally saw a Gastroenterologist locally who not only referred me for an iron transfusion but assured me I could have a transfusion 3 monthly to help with my RLS symptoms. Today I received a letter confirming this. My ferritin was 30. Transferrin sats were 9%. Iron level 9. Hb 123. I no

You gave me very helpful advice after blood test iron panel back in February when results were: units microgm\l Ferritin 77 Iron. 28 Transferrin 2.46 Transferrin saturation 45% Total iron binding capacity 62 and I've been taking iron supplements as you advised alternate days since then. My blood tests

Hi, Anybodys thoughts on transferrin levels? TSAT seems to be used as ONE marker for "iron sufficiency", and it is rare to see any discussion about the context. TSAT is only a calculation based on transferrin levels and serum iron. Both values are affected by inflammation, nutrition etc. I find

can low iron levels affect heart function? My iron is now 7. I am concerned about side effects of low iron and abnormal transferrin

Hiya All! I finally found a Dr to give me a series of iron infusions and it was such a life changing treatment. Sadly, that practitioner is no longer in my area and I need to let the new Dr know that my iron treatment is not for anemia. I should be due for another infusion soon but have a question

Hi All, I'm a new member. I have not been diagnosed with any type of anaemia but I've recently had some bloods done and they have shown low B12 and Iron. Quick background. I'm a 50yo female and have always suffered from low iron levels. I also suffer from ectopic heartbeats. I've had loads of tests
