Iron supplement recommendations? Reacting to the ones I currently take.
I've been noticing lately that I'm getting itchy areas on my body - no rash or anything. Have been checking all my supplements/medicines for exactly what fillers they contain and have just discovered my ferrous fumarate tablets (210 mg manufactured by Aver Healthcare) contain sodium lauryl sulphate.

Appointment with GP
Hi GP I spoke to at appointment today has advised me to start back on Levothyroxine but on a dose that is comfortable for me, either 25mcg or 50mcg. I take Levothyroxine in the morning so I have until tomorrow morning to decide. I am due a repeat thyroid test in 6-8 weeks. I find that I get sweats and

Iron results help please
I have been posting on the Thyroid forum for my wife (hypothyroid) as that is the main issue (I think). Also low Vit D, B12 and Ferretin. She is constantly fatigued but any of the above could be causing or contributing to that. I was pointed in this direction for more iron advice. Iron studies done.

Adding T3 to T4 for the first time
I posted here a few weeks back after I had some private blood tests done and shared the results with my GP. I ordered some T3 online, and it arrived today! I'm nervous to try it without being directly prescribed, but I'm certain that just increasing my T4 (levothyroxine) wouldn't help (which is what

Took me a while
I was probably near a
nervous
breakdown
. I called my family doctor--whom I'd really only been to see for bronchitis. Making that call to set up the appt. was hard. I'd known I needed to do it. But, I was afraid.
