Update
Hi, I posted my results not long back and since had some repeat blood tests. GP wanted to reduce my Levo based on TSH from 150 to 125. Saw my GP Friday and after a heated 45 minute appointment he agreed the 150 was the correct dose for me. I said that TSH based dosing was pointless and I would no longer

Very weak after losing a lot of blood
Following heart surgery five months ago (two more stents fitted to coronary arteries) l was prescribed a very strong anti platelet drug called Ticagrelor. The alarming side effects to this drug put me in hospital and I lost a lot of blood from both my prostate and a pierced bladder which was damaged

How often to check blood levels?
In the last week I've started taking Jarrow B12 and been on ferrous fumarate for around 3 weeks due to low ferritin and B12. As posted in other threads my TSH is 2.5 (0.3-4.5) and my T4 is 9.1 (7.0-17.0). My ferritin is 27 (15-300) and B12 is 233 (150-900). I have felt dreadful for a few years, but

Advice please on confusing problem.
I have top of range RBC in range Hb. and take ferrous sulphate for iron deficiency anaemia. I have top of range Vit B 12 when supplementing. Low MCV & MCH. I feel I have all the symptoms of pernicious anaemia. Please can anyone suggest why I have lots of RBC's with low MCV & MCH?

Ferritin Low: How much Iron do you take and what form?
Hi all, My partner has changed to NDT (Armour) from Levothyroxine. This is looking pretty good so far - however one thing we wanted to make sure we had right is his ferritin level. Last blood test this was 40, range 30-400 ug/L. His endo said that this was "fine", but we promptly ignored her and he

Do you need omeprazole when you have an hiatus hernia?
Hello all, This is a long winded post but i need to tell you it all so you get an understanding. I started with IBS problems around 5 years ago after a severe bout of food poisoning. At first it was IBSD and then gradually became IBSA. Before getting an 'official' diagnosis i had numerous blood tests
