Help with supplements please!
Hello all, I was hoping for some advice about supplements. Last week I had some great advice from SlowDragon , SeasideSusie and humanbean after my last blood tests. In summary: Low Ferritin at 24 (range 10-291), but blood iron and rest of FBC fine (apart from high % hypochromic cells), B12 good at 874 (

A bit of progress and CBD oil
Hi everyone.. Just thought I'd write to give you the latest on my treatment just in case it would help anyone else.. I have had yet another blood test and been told everything is "normal".. which is good... although I've not seen the results for myself so don't know what the actual ferritin level is.

Mental break
I feel like I’m having a
nervous
breakdown
. The stress and anxiety has become too much for me to handle. I’m seriously considering committing myself to a mental institution for help. I can’t keep my head above water any longer. I feel so alone.

Ferrograd C - does it sell in the UK?
Hi all, I’m in the UK for some time and I can feel that my iron is low again (been a continuous issue for years, I know the signs). In Australia I used to take Ferrograd C with fantastic results. Is there an equivalent here? I haven’t come across it. Ferrograd: Each tablet contains: Dried ferrous

Blood test results TSH 16 Ferritin 14
Good evening, Clearly my TSH & Ferritin is terrible. I had a TT in Nov was on 125 mg but I started on a dose of 150 mg today. I have been given some Ferrous Sulfate tablets to take too. I have kindly been advised that my Ferritin needs to increase to allow my body to abosord my Levo. Please could

Low iron levels
Have been prescribed ferrous fumarate as my iron levels are low which may be causing my breathlessness. I have had ECG and xray etc and they are ok. Wondered if anyone else has had this problem and how long these tablets take to work.

Heaviness that’s better with walking
For past two months I have a heaviness on my chest that’s there every morning and gets better by the afternoon. It’s also better after exercise - by which I mean an hours walk with my dog. I feel my breathing improves and heaviness lifts after walking. Does this sound cardiac? Does this sound cardiac

What helped my ferritin - hopefully helps someone :)
Hey there, I've decided to share some good news! I have tried everything to increase my ferritin, it was always a bit low in range. I have tested in September 2019 and it was 52 (13-150) which is about 28% of range. I was already happy with it because previously it had been even lower. I went for tests
