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

Excess hair shedding
Hi suffering severe hair shedding/ loss since August last year. Visited GP in November who said because of my age 49 was menopausal, tested for coeliac which came back negative, thyroid was borderline and ferritin levels 42. I saw a tricologist in January who diagnosed telegenic effluvium. Had bloods

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

When to take supplements
I take so many supplements now I'm confused if I'm taking them that at the right time or if they would work better along-side another. My most recent blood tests are as below: I've got a feeling my dr is going to try and reduce my levo due to the TSH. TSH 0.15 miu/L (0.27 - 4.5) T4 20.9 pmol/L (11 -

Best Iron Supplement to up Iron & Ferritin levels
Hi My Iron and Ferritin are always on the low side. Recently my iron was 13, 3 months before it was 8 and ferritin never seems to go above 30. I am currently on 1 ferrous fumarate daily 210mg, but this never seems to increase levels higher. I can't tolerate two a day as I get a very bad stomach. I have

continuing low folate levels
Hi I have had under active thyroid for about 10 years. In July last year I was treated for low folate and ferretin levels. My hb was fine. Anyway, I took the folic acid for 3 months and the ferrous sulphate for 6 months. I finished the folic acid about 3 months ago. I have had a call from the dr tonight

Been on and off anti depressants over the years and I had what my stepdad calls a “
nervous
breakdown
” in 2016. Right now I should be happier than how I feel - but I’m not.

Ferrous Sulfate
So I finally got my blood results. Dr hadn’t added transferrin saturation to the test but I managed to get the nurse to add it when I went in for the bloods. Ferritin 91 Transferrin saturation 19.9 Now on 400mg of iron daily & a referral to movement clinic. Are there likely to be options to help me get

Getting off Gabapentin
Has anyone here found that Gabapentin loses its effectiveness? When I started taking gabapentin before my infusion and it really did help. It stopped my legs and helped me sleep. Now, I don’t think it is working and I want off of gabapentin When I started, I quickly went up to 1800mg a day, gabapentin

Shattered headaches fatigue no motivation but thyroid function now normal
Hypo and also Menopausal and bleeding every other week. Giving body little time to make up iron levels perhaps. Already have b thalassemia trait since birth for which I take ferrous Fumarate. Hard to get blood forms from GP. Want to self medicate with B12 injection - can someone PM me where to buy from
