Ferritin levels and iron tablets
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos a couple of months ago and now on levothyroxine. Whilst the GP is monitoring my levels of thyroid, they haven't bothered with other blood tests. I am extremely tired and very much on waking, i find it almost impossible to wake up! I know it might be adrenal issues and

Section of article that talks about "iron withholding" by our bodies in an effort to kill bacteria. Could this lead to RLS?

Can anyone decipher active B12 results?
Hello all. I have paid privately to have blood tests done as GP and I have differing views. I have seen a private GP for B12 injections, but now manage on sublingual tablets as I don't have a never ending pot of money. Result says Active B12 less than 68, but there are no reference ranges or units

Anaemia and endless tests for the cause
Has anyone else had to undergo five progressively invasive, separate tests for colo-rectal (bowel) cancer just because they have been diagnosed with anaemia? It will have been five months of investigations and worry before I get the final decision (fingers crossed for the all-clear but I can't help getting

Ulcer drugs linked to vitamin B12 deficiency
Good of them (AMA, BBC) to start to catch up a little bit with what has been repeatedly said here and over on the Pernicious Anaemia/B12 groups/sites. Interesting that it says [i]"Only patients who had taken these tablets for more than two years were at risk ..."[/i] with no apparent concern about

Palpitations with low iron?
The last week or two I've been suffering with palpitations. These are not the loud, thumping ones but more of a flutter. The last two days they seem to be happening more often than I've experienced them before. They happen during the day. Two weeks ago I discovered that my ferritin was 33 (range

Vitamin b12 deficiency or pernicious anaemia? How to know the difference?
Recently you good people explained how my vitamin B 12 was way too low...it was somewhere in the 280 region (reference 225 - 1100). I am seeing my GP in the week and I need to be knowledgeable. As well as having coeliac disease and an underactive thyroid, I have been diagnosed with UCTD: recently I

Blood test results show iron deficiency & Vit D deficiency - advice please
Hi lovely people! You've been so helpful to me over the last 6 months, can I ask some more advice please. I am hypothyroid and take 100 levothyroxine daily. However, I am sooo tired still, my legs ache when I climb stairs and when I get up from a seat it takes a while until I can walk properly. I

Iron Infusion - will this kick my Thyroxine into action and make me feel over medicated ?
My Gastroenterologist has decided to give me an iron infusion because my ferritin levels have not gone over 14 in 2 years. As we know iron effects how the Thyroxine works and I assume because of my iron levels that full potential has not been reached. Has anyone had an iron infusion, and did it affect

Does anyone have experience of using LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) and Topiramate, alongside Thyroxine 25mg please?
I have used LDN and Topiramate for a couple of years after being told (wrongly) I have CFS. LDN is an Immune Modulator and Topiramate is for Migraines. I have just started taking Thyroxine 25mg, and don't good at all! I am not sure if this is because I have started taking Thyroxine or because I am taking
