Persistent Low White Blood Cell Count and Hypothyroidism - any link?
Diagnosed as hypothyroid in Jan 2013. Have just got some blood tests back and very disappointed to see that my white blood cell count has once again dipped - 2.9 (4.0-11.0). My Neutrophil count is 1.3 (2.0-7.5). I have also over the last several months been treated for anaemia, but that picture has

Well you may or may no know that last time I was assessed they sent me into a
nervous
breakdown

At last, doctor has started me on a trial of Levothyroxine 25mg so I am on the first step of the ladder
I went to doctors this morning and I sat while she looked through all my tests results since last October and she was still insisting my Thyroid wasn't to blame and what did I think would make me better. I told her the symptoms that were the worst and that she said at my last visit she would start

Folate, zinc, Vitamin D
I've got a printout of my latest blood tests done at the end of May. I know the ferritin is low, but I'm wondering if the folate, zinc, and vitamin D could be better? Serum folate 7.9ug/l [2.1 - 14.0] Zinc 10.1 umol/l [10.0-18.0] I don't think I have any signs of zinc deficiency Vitamin

Adrenal Supplement
Started this as a simple question and on writing it down it morphed into a bit of a muddled offload. If you could persevere I would be eternally grateful. Here’s the question: Does anyone have any experience of “Adrenal Gland Concentrate” described in the brochure of the company as “a high potency

Feeling anxious, very tense and snappy - is my medication right?
Tiredness improving though still not great, weight gain stabilising but feel like I'm having a
nervous
breakdown
! A few headaches plus feel really wound up, often quite depressed - very low, sometimes tearful and sometimes aggressive - nightmare to live with.

Do you have to feel worse on T3 before you feel better?
I have recently started on T3 and I'm still titrating the dose - currently on 50mcg split as 37.5 (7.30am), 6.25 (11.30 am) and 6.25 (3.30pm). My basal temperature has twice got to 36.6 C after the first dose, but it quickly falls back so I assume that I'm under-medicated and have a way to go. The

..Aaaand I am telling youuuuuuu......
Since then, life has consisted of looking after my partner who has had a
nervous
breakdown
due to the possibility of losing a job, a sudden and shocking family bereavement and covering for long term sick in work on top of my own ridiculous workload. So I haven't run.

Anxiety is destroying me - please help me!
I had a
nervous
breakdown
in April 2012. This was brought on by a few big life changes happening at the same time - the girl I loves marrying someone else, loosing my job etc. At my lowest point (around this time last year) I couldn't even leave the house.

Low ferritin - anyone else had it? And the issue of who monitors your bloods......
To put this into context, I have been complaining of extreme fatigue, dizziness and generally unwell for 7 months. I have been hospitalised twice for this reason, I have not seen my consultant in that time despite requesting appts. I have been given instructions over the phone to increase my prednisilone

Daughter's Test Results
Firstly I would like to thank you for the fantastic info I was given when I posted last year and which gave me the courage to ask for a trial! I have hashimotos, which took too many years to be diagnosed and I obviously don't want my daughter to suffer unnecessarily. She's been having annual blood

Do Not take Iron meds with Levo.!.
for those who are not aware, do not take ferrous fumarate for at least 2 hours after taking levothyroxine as it can decrease the effects, and the amount of levo your body intakes! I was prescribed ferrous fumarate, and started taking it along with all my other meds on the morning. and only found this

Dr Skinner and armour
Obviously no one on here will endorse self treatment, but if that is the choice of an individual, then there is a question I would like some help with. I have been told by my doc that I am now being referred to Dr Skinner, haven't heard anything yet, but this was only a week ago and Im guessing

A bit of creativity after emptying my purse at Holland and Barrett!
Spent a fair penny today and bought some extra supplements after reading advice on forum discussions etc, also updated the too low levels of some of my vitamins such as the low multi bvits etc. So if you can remember the old 'English Country Garden ' ditty, think of this tune whilst reading my verse
