Advice please with supplements
Diagnosed iron deficient in 2013, initially took 210mg ferrous fumarate 3 times a day but couldn't tolerate taking more than one. Went to the GP more than once about this problem and he told me to stop being noncompliant and making things up. Eventually ferritin got so low I needed an iron infusion in

GP appointment
Hi so my appointment yesterday went well. The doctor increased my levothyroxine to 75mcg from 50mcg then a retest in 6-8 weeks and apologised for my results being so bad and said “they must have slipped through the net”. I said that wasn’t good enough and I have insisted my thyroid results are checked

Possibly overmedicated advice please

Her levo was increased from 100mg to 125mg at the end of April in an attempt to improve her energy levels, and at the end of May she started

Wow, don't know what just hit me
My heart was in NSR when I left but more ectopics than normal beats. 20 minutes into the drive, my thoughts suddenly turned on me and I said to myself "I'm having a
nervous
breakdown
right now" (i don't even know what one is). My HR took off. I held onto sanity by my finger nails.

GP appointment
Hi I had my GP appointment on Friday which went well (I think) I am now taking 150mcg levothyroxine from 125mcg levothyroxine with a repeat test in 6-8 weeks. I have also had it confirmed I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and I need to avoid gluten and possibly dairy since I am lactose intolerant. TSH

Antibodies, vitamins and minerals
Hi. Here are all antibodies and vitamins and minerals results when on T3 and when off it. T3 was withdrawn because the endo said improvement of symptoms wasn't clinical evidence and levothyroxine was kept the same at 150mcg. I have symptoms of tiredness, pins and needles, puffy eyes, throats feeling

New private blood results contradict the ones from gps. Shall I tell doctor?
Hello, I just got the results from the blood tests I did in Italy while visiting my family, 10 days after the ones I posted about recently were done. I did these tests because I like to know what my T3 is, but also I have an appointment booked in December with a private endo also in Italy who is trained
