Iron supplements
Just thought I'd list up the various iron supplements I'm currently ingesting (or injesting, since we may be being taken for a ride). In the morning I take a multivitamin pill (Norwegian made), which includes 15mg of iron(II) fumarate (ferrous fumarate). Then there's the latest addition, also an iron

Do FBC results show a full picture of iron?
Please could I ask your advice on my FBC results as my GP said my iron levels are fine and has never suggested any other iron related tests? Red blood cell count 0.2 (no range) Haemoglobin 133 (115-164) Haematocrit 0.4 (0.36-0.47) (Platelets and white cell count - both at the very low end of ranges,

Low ferritin - Do I need to supplement?
Both my Endo and GP do not see a cause for concern, but I thought a balanced ferritin level was essential for production of thyroid hormones? They say my stores are fine. Any thoughts would be much appreciated x 30 Apr Serum ferritin 18 ug/l Range 13-150 Serum transferritin 3 g/l Range 2-3.6 g/L Serum

Mini pill and thyroxine
I’ve just had a nightmare at the doctors, left so upset and literally not getting anywhere. Anyway.... my question is I’m on the mini pill Desogestrel but since taking it I’ve had lots of hypo symptoms which seem to be getting worse and wondered if it could be the pill causing this? The dr won’t increase

How can someone receive iv iron infusion with only 0.5 increase in hb ...pregnant woman 32 years
Iron profile after infusion shows everything within normal range except for high transferrin (I guess it increased from the infusion) haemoglobin was 8.4 now after a month of iv therapy with sucrose iron it's only 8.9

how to get an IV iron infusion
My Ferritin level is 29.7. I know that I need to get it up to 100-350 range and the best possibly only way to get my levels up that high is an IV iron infusion. Even though I've explained the situation that RLS suffers needed higher levels, and just how hard it can be to obtain those levels with oral

Need help with best type of iron supplement and suggested dosage for addressing low ferritin. Are MCHC levels in blood tests important?
I have posted here once and had one reply but I still need advice about iron and would be grateful if anyone could help. I now realise my ferritin has been consistently low since 2015.

Do most people with liver disease have anemia? If so, what kind of anemia.
I have seen so many people with liver disease with anemia as the first sign of their diagnoses and they are put on iron. I am puzzled by that because most people suffering from ALD has high iron levels. and many other liver diseases tend to have high iron levels.

Iron (not ferritin) test
Hello, I'm a little confused and hopefully someone can set me right. I saw the neurologist again yesterday and he was pleased with my ferritin levels (about 120) but he realised I had never had my iron levels checked. I take an iron tablet every other day (although he didn't understand why I only took

Does anyone use Better You Iron Spray? If so could you share your experience 🙂
I was wondering if any Better You Iron spray users are finding 5mg daily dose enough? Kipsy & I have been talking & both need 20mg. We wondered as it's directly absorbed into the bloodstream would it be as effective as taking a 20mg tablet. We also wondered as it's directly absorbed do we still need
