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

The delights of Atos
., the latest resulted in me having to leave work and having
nervous
breakdown
, probably made worse because of the stress of a few really nasty jobs with the police ( it wouldn't be appropriate to be too detailed ).

Major problems after hemorrhoidectomy - any tips gratefully received!
I then had a manic type of
nervous
breakdown
and was in a psychiatric ward for a week. I had a constant pain in my backside. A recent pelvic MRI scan showed everything was clear. The pain has now gone but it's as though I have a bag of something hanging just behind my genital area.

Is this as good as it gets?
I am new to this site and this is my first question. In 2008 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The internist prescribed Levothyroxine for me, which I still use. I am female, early 40's and vegetarian for more than 30 years. I am now using 175mg of Levothyroxine a day. I take this in the morning

Am i depressed or just feeling sorry for myself
I am very scared since I don;t want to lose my house but the last job I had i basically had a
nervous
breakdown
at because the lack of skills which has always been a problem. I have turned into a miserable person with the thought that I will be very poor soon and possible homeless.

Iron Deficiency - even when taking iron supplements
Several posts recently have mentioned people having some difficulty in improving iron levels sufficiently even when taking Ferrous Sulphate or one of the other higher-dose iron supplements over a long time. At the same time, some people have mentioned Floradix being helpful. Well - it has been

How can my Ferritin have dropped again?
My Ferritin started out at 10, (ref range 13-150) - it only went up to 13 after months and months of supplementing with Ferrous Sulphate from the doc. I decided to try liquid iron instead so i began taking 2 x Spatone liquid sachets a day (with vitamin C) that i bought from the Chemist. I got my levels

Gentle iron supplements
My rheumy gave me ferrous sulphate as ferritin levels are only 8 but it gave me an upset stomach. I've since tried ferrous gluconate which had the same effect. Anyone know what else I can take that won't cause stomach cramping and upset stomach?
