Success with iron therapy.
I'm happy to report that after 8 weeks of iron therapy, my ferritin level has increased from 66 to 152. I began by taking one 325 mg ferrous sulfate (65 mg iron) tablet plus a 250 mg vitamin C tablet on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after consuming food. About midway, I changed the iron source

Oral Iron supplements, doing it wrong!
Well, I got my full blood test back and after some analysis, I think I messed up. I have been supplementing daily with 36 milligrams of ferrous bisglysinate. Here are my lab results that concern me. Ferritin was 72! This is my lowest since my infusion in 2016. Eight weeks after my infusion

Question about Ferritin level of 14.
Hi all. I haven't been here for a few week's because I have been in and out of hospital but in between my RLS has got worse. 2 Dr.s at my Surgery prescribed Iron but I couldn't take the liquid because it has cherries and I'm allergic to cherries and then Ferrous Fumarate but they made my stomach pains

Can Low Iron levels be caused by under medication for hypothyroidism
I recently had a blood test for a suspected DVT which turned out to be negative but the hospital rang and left a message on my phone to say that they had found that my iron levels were low and I should see my GP asap which of course I did. The GP thought the levels were due to a internal bleeding and

Kindly requesting help again
unfortunately it now seems I have a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis as well. I’ve been really unwell with severe pain. Still waiting for an NHS appointment. Paid to see a Private Rheumatologist and I’ve also had an ultrasound scan. With all that being said, because of all the different inflammatories

Never ending pain.
It's quite a long story so I won't bore you all with it just now but I was investigated and cleared but the stress caused a
nervous
breakdown
and despite being cleared , I wanted to die. I was lucky to have a lot of support but I withdrew from people for a while.

Next steps/where to get active b12 test?
Quick background: B12 deficiency (152) in 2017, negative IFAB, received 2x 3 monthly injections then taken off them. Investigating various symptoms now, recent bloods show drop in B12 from December 2022 (455) to now (206). Doctor saying I just need to take a multivitamin with B12 in, but I am not convinced

Ferrittin level (Different Opinions)
Last Wednesday (26th July) I had my 3 monthly blood test in relation to my Myelofibrosis and asked for my Ferrittin level and TSATS to be checked also. The Nurse/Clinician found Ferrittin on the data base but not TSATS and was a bit baffled by the whole TSATS thing. I concluded that I would only get

Am I going mad?
Hi! I've had so much helpful information from this forum and made copious notes over the last few weeks, I was determined I could get by without asking for help, but no. I'm so upset, after what I've decided is my last visit to the GP as I'm fed up of being fobbed off and coming out like a gibbering

T3 much better but feeling worse again!
I'm on a high dose of levo, 200mcg per day (I weigh 80kg right now), and just got test results back that show my T3 levels are much improved. However, of course, my TSH is now below range and my T4 way over. My ferritin, etc, is as bad as it's ever been, despite taking 210mg of ferrous fumarate each

Titrating off of Ropinirole
He had me go cold turkey when I got to 1 1/2mg, but I nearly had a
nervous
breakdown
. I became extremely depressed and anxious. He started me back at 2 mg and from there I've gotten to my current 1mg. But the depression and anxiety are roaring back again.

Any red flags in these results or am I barking up wrong tree?

Taking Ferrous Sulphate Exhausts Me, Any Alternatives?
Hi All, In February 2023 I requested a blood test from my GP as I felt generally awful. I had muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability, hair loss, overall skin sensitivity and moderate acne that scarred. I was also losing my evenings as my body was so tired, I’d nap for hours

Ferritin success, anyone wishing to try the same ... especially if vegan
After years with ferritin scraping along bottom of the range it has at last risen, to nearly double and I thought others might like to know to see if the same works for you too. There are two things I have done (after prescribed ferrous fumarate did not resolve the problem), 1) I regularly take
