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

Feeling worse after taking Ferrous Fumarate?
So, I’ve been taking Ferrous Fumarate for severe (from what I remember) iron deficiency anemia and I was told I’d feel better after 4 weeks but it’s been about 6 and I feel even worse than I did when I started taking it. Is this normal? I’ve talked with my mum, who’s talked to the doctors and both said

Iron question
Hi all. I was reading a recently cited Mayo Clinic paper, and it stated that "A common oral iron regimen [for RLS] is 325 mg of ferrous sulfate (65 mg elemental iron) ..." I've been taking two 25-mg capsules (every two days) of Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate (the Ferrochel trademarked brand, marketed

Low Ferritin and hair loss, would appreciate advice please
Hi All Would be so grateful for advice on my blood tests and also desperate for advice on how to raise my ferritin levels without upsetting my stomach. I have been taking Levothyroxine for about 8 years, current dose 50mg/75mg on alternate days. I understand little about thyroid hormones but am trying

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

Its all about the Iron. Do I go on taking Iron Fumerate?
So it is almost exactly a year since I first got the diagnosis of RLS, having suffered for many years with the symptoms. I share the track of the year to add the growing amount of information for us all. In the past year I have stopped drinking alcohol, drink no caffeinated tea, one cup of coffee in

What to do if GP 'not bothered'!? Ferritin + Hashimoto's
My ferritin level always scrapes along the bottom of the range but GP and endo are unbothered. I'm on T3 which I think I might not need if ferritin was mid-range and I could convert Levo but even that doesn't motivate the doctors to help. I imagine (?) they are thinking: "well you're a vegan, just

An update on fluoxetine withdrawal and RLS
Last month I posted a question about SSRIs (specifically fluoxetine) and RLS. I’ve been trying again to withdraw from fluoxetine, this time paying more attention to the half life of the drug and tapering more gradually. I’m encouraged to report that my RLS seems to be reducing. It now starts later in

Iron supplementation and flares
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences of adverse reactions to iron supplementation? I am not diagnosed with RA but have a MCTD which has features of RA, Lupus and Vasculitis. I have been on hydroxychloraquine for about 3 years which has helped a lot. One of the problems I have experienced
