Iron results-any advice?
Hi! V grateful for all the wisdom from this forum. Just did a full iron panel on Medichecks as ferritin has been consistently low, and I've been on and off ferrous fumarate for years. GP only tests ferritin; advice on here seemed to be to get the full picture. Results below... Ferritin much better

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID anaemia (microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption. I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2014, long covid for the past 2 years, and a vax injury from March 2021 that is only just being investigated by rheumatology

Iron deficiency and mental health
Hi Everyone,Just after some guidance. Back in September 2022, after months of weird symptoms (heart palpitations, tachycardia, breathlessness, fatigue, low mood, anxiety, hair falling out, sore tongue ect) I was diagnosed with iron deficiency without anaemia. My blood test showed
Ferritin
6ugL

how much gentle iron?
what dose should i start on… i have bought iron bisglycinate 20 mg. But have been recommended 320 mcg ferrous sulphate. So very confused at the different levels. How do these figures relate to each other? And do you have to take gentle iron on an empty stomach? The bottle says to take with food. Any

Trialling Buprenorphine and Dipyramidole - experience
Hello everyone! I’ve been around for a little while but I’ve been waiting for something definite to report. At age 56, the RLS was getting very disruptive so I had to find an alternative to my usual sleep medication. It took me a few years. In the end I returned to my old GP, who listened and thought

Advice after latest test result.
Hello. Looking for some advice from you lovely people regarding the latest TSH result. Yes, TSH only as that's all the doc requested....(head in hands). After a bad reaction to Teva 75mcg, 3 weeks into taking Teva 75mcg one day, and Accord 50mcg the next, the pharmacist recommend I just go up to 75mcg

Lobular progression to stomach and colon
Honestly, after a whirlwind of procedures, tests, and new shots, today is the first day I had a moment to digest everything happening and pretty much worked myself into a mild
nervous
breakdown
. Am I running out of time quickly now? So many questions, and I'm heart sick.

Medichecks ferritin range 30-650 ug/L
I have been having trouble for years with low ferritin, despite eating black pudding 3 times a week and taking ferrous fumarate. This last week got full thyroid blood tests back and thought ‘oh good , ferritin had gone up a bit to a decent 77’, but no, the range had been changed to a huge 30-650 ug/L

Numbness - please help!
I wonder if something has been missed or if I’ve had a
nervous
breakdown
but I do feel otherwise sane? If this numbness / weakness in my limbs eased I’d feel okay. I’d be very glad to hear if anyone else has experienced this, any words of wisdom, how to cope through this process, etc.

Iron/ferritin deficiency
Hello! Does anyone know how long it might take for ferrous sulphate 200mg 2x to have any effect on fairly severe RLS symptoms if it is caused by iron deficiency? Cheers!

Help with iron panel results please
Hi, I had an iron panel done in July following years of trying to get iron levels up with Ferrous Fumarate, without any luck. Results attached. On consultation with my GP we agreed for me to try a Mirena coil. However leading up to the date for inserting this I freaked about the actual procedure and

Thank you - ferritin levels. 😀
I just wanted to say Thank You - because of this site, especially Sue and Joolz, my consultant has advised my GP to give me ferrous sulphate every other day and check my ferritin levels in 3 months' time. If my RLS is still bad or ferritin still less than 100-200, they may do an infusion! And I live

Iron panel results
In early Sept my ferritin came back: 25.9 (10-291) so I asked for an iron panel. I am a bit confused by the transferrin result as I have read that if low iron then transferrin should be high? Mine is below range. Oct 22: Ferritin: 28.9 (10-291) Iron serum: 13.7 (9-30.4) Transferrin: 2.42 (2.5
