Adrenals or Not Adrenals
Well, further to my post last week, I've had the results of both my faecal occult blood test (for new re-occurring digestive issues) and BNP blood test (for indications of heart failure) and all have come back normal with no further action required. The extreme fatigue has improved significantly

Iron panel results
In early Sept my ferritin came back: 25.9 (10-291) so I asked for an iron panel. I am a bit confused by the transferrin result as I have read that if low iron then transferrin should be high? Mine is below range. Oct 22: Ferritin: 28.9 (10-291) Iron serum: 13.7 (9-30.4) Transferrin: 2.42 (2.5

Is it all about the range?
Hi everyone I was just reading up on thyroid globulin antibodies as I had a test done by Medichecks in Aug 2022 which had me within normal range and I was wondering whether people without thyroid problems had these antibodies too.
Thyroid Globulin Antibodies (TgAb) 48IU/L (reference <115)

Blood Iron results
Hello everyone. My long awaited appointment at the gp surgery finally arrived and I was seen by a somewhat inexperienced health care assistant who suggested I drink a glass of tonic water before bed to help with my RLS! When I tried to explain my research, this forum and the Mayo Clinic algorithm

Supplements for iron
I have had the following blood tests: Serum ferritin level 41 ug/L [10.0 - 322.0] Serum folate level 23.5 ug/L [5.4 - 24.0] Should I take some iron tablets to boost my ferritin levels and if so what dosage should I be taking?

levothyroxine/Teva/mannitol
hi everyone.. It’s just come to my notice that Levothyroxine which I’ve been taking for about 25 years or so contains “mannitol “ As I have very bad restless legs for about the same amount of years and getting worse … I was wondering how long mannitol has been in levothyroxine ? Also.. would it affect

RLS/PLMs and treatment
I would like to share information concerning my health particularly in relation to RLS/PLMs hoping that others with the condition may be helped. My experience of RLS could go back to my teens when, whilst seated and playing cards with my brother, we would both be moving our legs quite rapidly, toes

Iron supplementation
I apologize, I have been looking at past posts but having trouble finding the best answer. I most likely have RLS, and doc wants to increase my Ferritin to 100. They recommend iron but don't say what kind, or how best to take it. Other then that the Neurologist was fantastic. So I was hoping some

What do these blood test results mean, please.
These are the results of the blood tests I had done earlier this month. My doctor didn't tell me to fast beforehand, but thanks to advice from this site I had fasted for the previous 12 hours. The doctor has now told me that no action needs to be taken, but I note that one of the readings shows that

British National Formulary - Confusion
In the British National Formulary, there is a section for each medicine headed [i]Medicinal Forms[/i]. You can see below that the lists start with the heading [i]All products[/i]. However, this is just plain misleading! The first five entries are all for 12.5 microgram levothyroxine tablets. But

Got to take the wins!
I’m over the moon and I feel the need to share as it’s you lovely people that have encouraged me not to give up and to fight for my health. I went to see a gastroenterologist for the first time today (private). I was ready for an argument because every doctor or consultant I’ve ever seen seemed to

Dealing with PA as well as low iron and ferritin
HI all, I finally got my b12 back on track, but dealing with a serious iron deficiency. I've always been anemic. I guess that goes along with PA. But, I've been feeling extra tired and foggy. New bloodwork shows the usual low rbc, but now my

Paper: elevated b12 bound to immunoglobulins masking B12 deficiency
Latest paper from Wolffenbuttel of "The many faces of cobalamin deficiency" fame. Fascinating! https://casereports.bmj.com/content/15/1/e247660.long (full text available) Abstract: In clinical practice, the finding of an elevated serum B12 concentration is often the consequence of supplementation

Association of maternal urinary fluoride concentrations during pregnancy with size at birth & potential mediation effect by maternal thyroid
Relatively unusually, I'm posting this partly because of the "it's not thyroid" aspect! We have had many, many posts regarding fluoride and whether, how, it might affect the thyroid gland and thyroid hormone levels. The fact that the increased birth size and weight in this study appear not to be due
