Can anyone help please?
Hello everyone. I haven't needed to post for a while as I've been feeling spot on until the last month or so. I'm currently on ndt and t3. I'd slowly crept the dose up to see if I could encourage weight loss without giving myself hyper symptoms which I think I managed to do. I ended up at 4 grains

Exactly 3 months ago, had a more or less
nervous
breakdown
. Spiraled into anxiety then depression. Since then, been meditating daily, and reading books (such as Elkhart Tolle) Not much has improved too much. Meditation always helps, but just temporarily.

Too much iron and vitamins
Hi, Two weeks ago I was given ferrous fumarate 305mg to take 3 times a day, since I have hypothyroidism and my iron levels were low. I have been taking them for two weeks now. I was also given Fluoxetine 20mg and have been taking those for 11 days for depression. Two days ago I bought Vitamin D 10ug

Does T4 level matter when on NDT?
I recently had a blood test done at my health centre to placate my GP, he is concerned about my suppressed TSH. I just ignore him when he says anything, I have tried explaining that TSH levels are irrelevant when medicating but it does not sink in, though he does accept that I am aware of the risks and

Iron supplements and stool colour
So, it's well known that taking iron supplements usually produces a black stool. But what might cause a sudden return to a "normal" colour? I've not stopped taking the ferrous fumarate, and will allow for the possibility of having been prescribed a duff batch. Are there any other likely reasons?

Ferrous Fumarate 305mg given to me for thyroid problems
Hi all, Recently I had been told I had thyroid problems which I had been given medicine for 2 years ago. I didn't realise that I had to keep going to the doctor regularly for this.

Feeling wiped out.
I am in my 60s now, and since the age of 40 I suffered from
nervous
breakdown
while looking after my father and I was working and just dropped . Couldn't walk terrible panic attacks I couldn't get off the chair for a month, with my partners help fast forward.

Best way to take Ferrous fumarate & Levothyroxine
Morning, does anyone know the best time to take ferrous fumarate tablets. The research I've done gives conflicting advice, non given from my GP. Some sites recommend leaving 12, 6 or 4hrs after taking levothyroxine. I'm meant to take 3 ferrous a day, at the moment only managing 1. Any advice gratefully

Help with supplements needed
Hi. Recently had my bloods retested after starting on 50mg Levo in September. Levo was increased to 75mg and I was also prescribed Vitamin D tablets as my levels were low. I have since got hold of my results and noticed both B12 and ferritin levels are also on the floor, but noted as "normal". Also have

Could it be just the low ferritin?
My results are : Tsh 5.62 (0.4-5.5) Ft4 12. 1 (10-19.8) Ft3 3.5 (3.8 -) TPOab 40 (<60) My ferritin was a bit low 39.6 (20-291) Now I wonder if my symptoms could be just the low ferritin ? And if I manage to get the ferritin up then I will feel ok? What do you think? I have just started on 25ug levo
