Sleepless...
In 2015 I was a major
nervous
breakdown
since I started to really face all thes tragedies at the same time. I was diagnosed with GAD and panick disorder. I was prescribed Ecsitalopram and pregabalin. I followed the treatment for almost 6 months but I decided to stop it because I felt better.

Chest pains and breathlessness, cause by iron or thyroid?
Hi, I've posted a couple of times now and am still in the process of being diagnosed (all my blood results are in my first post https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/135174260/advice-for-talking-to-doctor).

Thanks to everyone!
Sixteen months ago I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency after I asked the GP for a test, having read the PA symptoms and realised that I had many of them. I have Type II diabetes and this was being treated with metformin amongst other medications. I read that metformin blocks the absorption of B12 in

Iron deficiency and PV
Hi. I'm new to this Forum and am reassured to see that others are as confused as me about living with an MPN! My question relates to iron deficiency and PV. There seems to be a dearth of information out there! I was diagnosed with ET about four years ago. The diagnosis was revised to PV last Autumn

Update - different results via Private and NHS
Added this update to my original post then realised I'd be better off starting a new post....... Well following the great advice people on here gave me, I went back to my GP and asked to be retested. I got the earliest appointment and fasted and the results were almost identical to the original ones

Ferritin test while taking ferrous fumarate?
I need to have my thyroid test done and they will test my ferritin levels at the same time. I forgot not to take them 1 week before test. Will the test still be usable or will it be too scewed?
