Low ferritin low hemoglobin celiac three years ?
I have posted before but at my wits end. I was diagnosed celiac three years ago due to very low ferritin and hemoglobin. I began gluten free diet and iron supplements and my levels were back to normal. Dr took me off iron and I continued gluten free. Past labs have shown a steady decline in my hemoglobin

Post-treatment lab results -- interpretation help appreciated!
Hi, everyone! I'm hoping those of you who have more experience appraising lab results can help me here, since I still have two weeks before I can go to the hematologist to have these explained to me. I have iron deficiency anemia (formally diagnosed) and, until recently (?), what I assumed to be pernicious

Hi again, everyone — it feels like I’ve been posting too much, but I have so many questions (so thanks for your patience!). I’m in the initial stages of treatment for both PA and IDA, so I don’t know much but have been reading a lot and waiting on an appointment with a hematologist. I’ve also been

Low ferritin
Hi All, I’ve lurked on and off for several months. I’ve always been told thyroid results are fine but this year I had a positive coeliac blood test result just before lockdown. I did a private thyroid test, no antibodies but TSH slightly elevated. Three weeks ago, more bloods at GP, I knew I had iron

Question about iron levels?
Hi I am new here, not new to having Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) for around 15 years. Recently, I was sent to a hematologist because my iron levels were so low. Practically non existent. I was put on iv iron right away. The specialist and I were trying to figure out why I was so anemic..

This Dr told me that GP's generally don't test for iron, just the feritin level (is this right)?...and as mine has been high they

Ferritin blood results different between medichecks and NHS
Hi I wanted to make a separate post on this to find out whether anyone else has experienced this phenomena, and whether they know what might be going on. I have had 2 blood tests from NHS and 2 from Medichecks in fairly quick succession without any ferritin supplementation and the 2 NHS ones are low,

Help with blood results
So, the endo is happy with my T3 and T4. Mid to upper range. However I still suffer from bloating, hair loss and fairly rapid pulse (90 bpm) . I take 50mcg levo and 1 grain Thai NDT. I had my iron checked in June 19. GP told me that my levels were ‘normal’. I’ve recently had the Mirena coil removed

Iron may not be what we think it is.
The latest thinking from RLS research is that when we talk about iron ,we should be looking at Haemoglobin (hgb) rather than ferritin. This is from the latest magazine of the Restless legs Foundation ( Nightwalkers summer 2020). James R Connor PhD. The thinking is that hgb levels are a better indication

iron's role in B12 injections
Could I ask your opinion please on iron? There are two conflicting views: B12 injections bring down iron levels and B12 will help absorption of iron and therefore increase them. I don’t have and never had macrocytosis. If iron, like potassium, is used in the formation of red blood cells only if there

supplements timings
Hi, I know this has been asked before but i can't find any posts on it. I take my levothyroxine first thing in the morning, and i'm going to start taking vitamin D, B12 and iron. I'm sure iron needs to be taken away from anything else but i wondered can i take vitamin B12 and D together? I was thinking

Ferritin
I came across some posts here helping somebody with low ferritin and you sound extremely knowledgeable and hope you can advise me. I've been having tests for an IBS type problem and the bloods found my ferritin is 10.1 (new word to me!) I was called with the result and was just told my Ferritin level

Levothyroxine sodium – Anhydrous vs. Pentahydrate
[i]If you read about levothyroxine, especially as a medicine, you will see mention of two forms used as the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in levothyroxine medicines: levothyroxine sodium (anhydrous) and levothyroxine sodium. Although the second form doesn’t make it clear, it could refer either

Hi everyone I currently take 75mcg of cynomel. I am really struggling with my weight. I also have diabetes type 2. I haven’t had my B12 & iron tested for a long time. The GP ordered B12, Iron, Vit D tests. I have got my B12 & iron test back. I do not supplement for b12 & for iron I used to take bluebonnet

A Genetic Cause for Iron Deficiency
We see a steady stream of posters here who have iron-deficiency. Iron-deficiency is an important issue in hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can reduce our ability to absorb iron. Low iron (typically low to very low ferritin) prevents thyroid hormone being handled well by the body. Many times, low iron
