Is anyone able to help with my mum’s labs please
Hello all, She has Hashimoto’s which is well managed on glandulars and she feels well. Her thyroid labs are a little on the low side this time because she reduced her dose significantly having felt over-medicated previously but has since increased it slightly and hopes her next labs are better. Am I

What's the relevance of low mean cell haemoglobin, but normal haemoglobin concentrate levels?
I'm confused about these results! Please can anyone help? What does mean cell haemoglobin mean? I I thought it meant I was anaemic, but my haemoglobin concentrate is normal. My ferritin is too low again I know. I understand my thyroid levels. I'd reduced T3 from 30 to 25mcg for 6 weeks hoping my TSH

Blood results back. Ferritin low but haemoglobin normal. TSH slightly raised.
Hi, thank you for all your previous help when I first posted about how tired I was constantly. I was advised to repost when I got my blood results back from the doc. They didn’t test all my vitamins but these are, I think, the most relevant ones from my results. TSH 2.43 (0.3-4.50) I have an endo

Has anyone tried methyl cobalamin for injection from India, japan and Malaysia?
In these countries methylcobalamine is sold in supermarket. Indian methylcobalamine is so cheap and look like they have proper certificates for quality assurance. In the meantime there are some facilitators for continuous delivery of hydroxocobalamin which are so cheap and work like insulin pump work

Anemia and Different Blood Test Results Help
I have been taking iron for anemia for some time. My latest CBC had some different test results on it. I researched and they relate to different shapes of red blood cells. I just wonder if they mean anything as relating to the anemia. Here are the findings - Anisocytosis1+ Polychromasia1+ Hypochromia1

Low iron and ferritin levels?
I have low iron. My HB is 9 and my ferritin levels are just 4. I also have many vitamin b12 and folate deficiency symptoms but my GP says my levels are fine and within the normal range. Vit b12 is 319 (range on the report was 197-771) and Folate is 5.9. Does anyone know if these deficiencies all go hand

Dipyridamole update
I have been on 100mg x2, one at about 4pm and one closer to 8pm. It is recommended to take Dipyridamole on an empty stomach. This is still lower than the effective dosage in the study and I intend to increase it. I have cut pregabalin from 300mg to 150mg. My goal is to cut it again when the 150mg

Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day

Anyone know about Globulin levels
Anyone had experience of “low globulin” count when having a blood test? Had my monthly Methotrexate blood test last Tuesday, the GP rang me Wednesday afternoon to say my globulin count was a bit low & with my “Rheumatoid factor”. Of course he didn’t explain what it was & when I asked what needed to be

Help with bloods please including iron levels.
Bloods taken last week in the morning before Levo or any other medication at 8.50 in the morning. I’m currently taking 200mcg and 212.5mcg alternative days. As Aristo brand. Still getting a few palps and still very tired. Would I benefit from t3 if so why as need support as endo not wanting me to take

Iron /Ferritin Level and Menopause
Hello Everyone...Quick question. Is it necessary to test your iron and ferritin if you no longer have a menstrual cycle? The GP who is filling in for the regular GP stated that since I no longer have a period, that I could not be anemic due to low iron/ferritin. This does not make sense to me , so

High ferritin levels
Good evening one and all - and in advance I want to wish you all a happy new year, one that is healthier for us all. My serum ferritin level has gone up even further and I just wondered if the PMR/Pred etc has anything to do with it? I should add that I do have an abnormal inherited gene (a carrier

Low iron first time in years despite supps
Hello, I just had an iron panel done as it turned out my iron is 4% of range.... 55 (50-170)! Ferritin better at 30% range, but still not great. I used to take Floradix and my iron was over midrange on it, then took 60 mg Actiferol (ferric pyrophosphate) in powder from the pharmacy for couple of months

Iron Supplements for those very sensitive to gluten
Hi, I'm being prescribed iron supplement (ferrous sulphate). GP assures me it is gluten free but GPs and Pharmacists don't understand gluten in ingredients. The pharmacy is not answering their phone when I call to find out the brands they have so I can do my own check. Any pharmacy prescribed brands

I'd been feeling weary so had bloods done at doctor's. My iron was low so GP prescribed iron tablets.
I'd been feeling weary so had bloods done at doctor's. My iron was low; it has been for years; (I think it's always been low, even when I ate meat. I was told by a doctor 30 years ago that I was slightly anaemic; I think at the time I was hypo but it wasn't diagnosed) so GP has prescribed iron tablets

Anyone used Vitex (Agnus castus/chasteberry) and did it help or aggravate RLS?
Having heavy n prolonged periods so was researching solutions. Came across Vitex (to balance out hormones) but no idea if it's safe for RLS because when I googled Vitex RLS I read something about it affecting dopamine receptors? Has anyone used this for their periods or any other issue, or can advise

Blood results- thyroid and iron levels.
Hi all, I've had my blood test results back today. I had stopped the vitamins that you're meant to stop before testing but unfortunately I forgot to not take my Thyroxine! Yeah I know! So the blood was drawn at 12 noon, I had taken my Thyroxine at 11am, would that be a short enough space of time
