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

Night Before test
Is it ok to take Ferrous fumarate with c vitamin the night before thyroid blood test? Or is it better to fast for 12 hours?

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

Has anybody had an iron infusion?
Hello all, I went to a very helpful and patient endocrinologist yesterday as recommended by the lovely ladies here. It was a private appointment. I am hypothyroid and I have antibodies around the 200 mark. One of the main issues I have is fatigue and I struggle to increase my ferritin levels as I cannot

Newly diagnosed
I just started on Levothyroxine 25 microgrames. My ferritin was a bit low 39.6 (20-291). So I bought ferrous fumarate 210mg and plan to take on each day until retest in 6 weeks. Does this sound good? Is it safe to start this on my own without talking to my doc? The pharmacist was a bit reluctant to sell

Advice would be hugely appreciated
Been feeling progressively worse for the last few years: extreme tiredness, lack of concentration, brain fog, getting words muddled, memory problems, feeling cold, headaches, joint stiffness and probably other things I've forgotten. I've had blood tests before but aside from iron tablets I've always
