Gp says pay for supplements yourself!
4 weeks ago I had bloods taken and all minerals and vitamins were very low in range but, in particular, serum ferritin was 16 (25-300). TSH was 4.61 (0.4-4.0) and I wasn't feeling as well as I would have liked. GP prescribed ferrous sulphate for 4 weeks and results today were 41 (25-300). I stayed

Can anyone comment on Solgar Gentle Iron? Ferrous bisglycinate vs ferrous fumarate...
My ferritin was 19 (11-336) so I'd like to make a start so I bought what I found in my local health food shop. Generally I like Solgar products because they don't have a lot of junk in them, but I don't know how much to take of this iron. It is ferrous bisglycinate and not ferrous fumarate. Any thoughts

Yet MORE symptoms, I know I'm a pain but anyone recognise these?
I posted yesterday about a burning face, it's burning again tonight but also tonight I have very swollen ankles and feet (worse on the left foot) and my tummy is also bloated. Feel bloated all over but it's my ankles and feet that are bothering me. My legs feel very heavy too and my feet are warm. Swollen

TSH 4.61 (0.4 - 4.0) under medicating!
After everyone's help and realising that I was being under medicated following a recent blood test, I have now been back to see the Doc. I thought you would like to know that he has upped my thyroxine by 25mg to 150mg and prescribed ferrous sulphate as my ferritin levels were a measly 16 ug/L (25-300

TSH 4.61 (0.4-4.0) Under medicating!
After posting these results a couple of weeks ago I finally got to see the doc today and thought I would give you an update as requested! He has upped my thyroxine to 150mg and prescribed ferrous sulphate 200mg 1 x twice daily. I go back in a month to have my ferritin rechecked and back in 3 months

Can anyone decipher active B12 results?
Hello all. I have paid privately to have blood tests done as GP and I have differing views. I have seen a private GP for B12 injections, but now manage on sublingual tablets as I don't have a never ending pot of money. Result says Active B12 less than 68, but there are no reference ranges or units

Palpitations with low iron?
The last week or two I've been suffering with palpitations. These are not the loud, thumping ones but more of a flutter. The last two days they seem to be happening more often than I've experienced them before. They happen during the day. Two weeks ago I discovered that my ferritin was 33 (range
