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

Give up iron supplements, including the ferrous fumarate in gluten free bread.
I know exactly how you feel, even if you are eating gluten-free bread. Unfortunately, most if not all gluten free breads (like most other breads) contain ferrous fumarate to boost their iron concentration. But, unfortunately, the ferrous ion can undergo the Fenton reaction in which the hydrogen peroxide

New interloper from a neighbouring forum - advice please
I’ve put a very potted history in my bio. My question is- of the recent blood results, which would be the most useful to post seeking guidance from you knowledgable folk? I seem to have had everything and chips done by GP- not complaining.- and started a course of B12 injections. But from the results

is there a good time of day to take your b12 shot
So we have been given permission to do B12 shots at home combined with 200 mg ferrous sulphate and 20,000 of Vit D by our GP who will be doing further diagnostics in the mean time...the one thing I forgot to ask him is if there is a good time of day to take the B12 shots...morning, before bed, before

Is it B12 deficiency, cortisol issues or COVID related?
I had Covid in March and since then have been feeling pretty much all of the rotten signs and symptoms I had when on T4 only as well as some more awful ones indicative of B12 deficiency. My ferritin vit D but especially B12 have all taken a dive. I have always had above range B12 without supplements.

Extremely scared and anxious
I’m scared and having a

Apart from Flow Cytometry, IgHv mutation status, FISH for CLL, what other tests would be recommended?

Reducing Pramipexole
I’m hoping this will be of interest to some of you. Any comments really welcome. I am reducing my pramipexole, by half a tablet every 2 to 3 weeks. Currently I’ve cut out 2 x half tablets and about to cut out the third half. I’ve also had a full iron panel blood test. I discussed with the Doctor

ferrous sulphate giving me terrible stomach cramps
I'm really struggling with stomach cramps from ferrous sulphate.. my gp originally had me on 200g 3 times per day... when my level rose from 17 to 60 he said to stop taking them. Within a week my ferritin had dropped to 38 so I'm back to taking just 200g once a day. Has anyone else tried ferogloblin

Depressed and desperate
I haven’t written in a while but I read all of the comments. New neurologist who aligns with the mayo clinic philosophy. After a painful weaning off of pramipexole I was actually doing great on 1200 mg of gabapentin and .50 mg of clonazepam. I take oral iron and my ferritin level is around 52, which
