FERRITIN 32 (15 - 150) Haematology want this over 50, current GP ignoring haematology's recommendation for this. Given iron infusion in 2016 but it only raised ferritin and did not raise iron, transferrin, haemoglobin or MCV very much. I am on 1 iron tablet a day and this has been since February 2017

Iron supplements question
I have been getting short of breath lately, and have really noticed it as i have started running- I must be the only person in the world who is getting slower and fatter rather than fitter and faster ...:( Anyway, my recent full blood tests show that : Serum ferritin level : 22 ug/L [10.0 - 300.0]

Merrick dog treats recalled due to elevated thyroid hormone
Probably not relevant to many readers - or their best friends - as this is USA news. However, I thought of broad interest to realise that this issue keeps occurring, whether in dog food, Spanish sausage, or hamburgers. [i]

Medicheck's 'iron deficiency test' no longer includes word 'ferritin', though their Dr. reports 'healthy iron stores': advice please
Recent '11 test' bloods by Medichecks now records an iron deficiency check under 'iron status' but does not use the words ferritin, despite the company's doctor reporting 'ferritin as normal, healthy iron stores'. This has a range of 13-150, mine was 62.8ug/L. SeasideSusie kindly mentioned earlier that

IRON ADVICE
Does anyone know how long a gap I need to leave between taking my thyroxine/ T3 and my dispersible Iron supplement? I know they clash so I was wondering I really want an iron infusion. Can I pay for this? Does anyone have any leads? Thanks all.

What is a TBG lab test?
I was looking over my lab sheet for labs to be taken in two weeks and noticed my GP ordered Thyroid binding Globulins. It sounds like a reverse t4 when trying to understand it? I thought they ordered a TGab, but apparently that was not the case. What exactly will this result tell me? Oh how all your

RLS and Iron deficiency
I have recently seen an American site describing treatment for RLS based on Injections of Iron. I believe it originated at the John Hopkins Hospital and I wonder if anyone in the UK is using this treatment
