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

Struggling with head injury, post concussion syndrome symptoms, drug induced movement disorder and depression
I'm not on any medication now, but was prescribed various psychotropic drugs to deal with a
nervous
breakdown
as a result of a mild traumatic brain injury that gave me severe post concussion syndrome, anxiety and terrible insomnia for about 6 months.

update Cherylclaire
Things seem to be turning around for me lately. After having to go off sick from my teaching job, I finally wrote a letter to my GP- as appointments were only 10 minutes and v. difficult for both of us as I'm having a few cognitive/ memory etc problems. She has now spoken to a haematologist for advice

parkrunning with Ben Smith of The 401 Challenge
At age 18, Ben tried to take his own life after having a
nervous
breakdown
due to bullying at school, of which he had been a target for 8 years. At university, he suffered from depression, and, again, tried to take his life. Thankfully, both of those attempts failed.

Drug free and waiting for neurologist
It has been 2 months now since I managed to wean myself off the ropinirole and then tramadol so I could be drug free when I finally see the neurologist on the 1st October (a 7mth wait!) I didn't expect it would be easy and at first it certainly wasn't. However I thought it would be a good idea to use
