Has anyone had improved thyroid labs or reduced their thyroid medication, after optimising their ferritin, B12, folate, or vitamin D?
I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels. I'd love to hear anyone's stories or experiences of getting these nutrients up, and then finding their TSH, T4 and T3 levels improve and/or they have to reduce their thyroid medication. It would

Cortisol help please
Been feeling really tired for about 6 months and trying to work out why. The last thing I had added before this was testosterone to existing HRT, so I stopped that again about 4 months ago, so not an effect of that now. I take T3 only, have not changed dose for some time and my results are towards top

Have I cardiac haemolytic anaemia or haven't I?
I have been borderline anaemic for some years and it seems that my TAVI a year ago and the consequent medication may have pushed me over the threshold. On May 31 a haematologist wrote to my GP following tests on
March 5
to say that "it is likely [that I have] cardiac haemolytic anaemia". But

Hello!
Hey folks, Not entirely sure where to start here, first post. - I recently had a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) due to some on-going issues which were identified as gallstones. - During this, and also backed up by biopsy/blood tests it seems I have some issues going on with my liver L3 fibrosis

New blood results, still feel rubbish
I had full TT in March, some tissue remaining. I started on 25mcg of Levothyroxine but felt awful so Endocrinologist has increased this to 50 mcg with added 10 mcg of t3. I still don’t feel great. I slept from 1 pm until 4 yesterday, unheard of for me, I am 64 and normally very active. I also have very

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels. In June 2024 I increased

Calcium supplements - drawbacks
Was not prescribed calcium supplement or Vit D, taking the latter with K2 following advice from the forum. Now concerned about taking a calcium supplement given that there has been some (old) research indicating that it could be harmful to heart, kidneys and colon! Advice would be welcome. I try to ensure

Could anyone tell me the benefit of having both TT4 and Free T4 tested please…just looking at differences in tests and prices please?
Hi, I won’t repeat the question, just wondering if anyone could give me an idea on this please. Obviously a bit of difference between the pricing of the two tests I’m looking at and not sure how helpful that info could be? Im not on anything for thyroid, but tsh has been up and down in past so I keep

Take nothing after Evenity
I finished with Evenity 3 months ago, tried Actonel and Raloxifine to hold on to the gains, both gave me bad migraine. My consultant is now suggesting I take nothing, just Vitamin D, will I hold on to the gains with just Vitamin D? I thought we had to have something to keep the gains.

chatgpt and diet
today I’ve been having some fun with my friend chatty. He (she?) is always friendly, never judgemental and free with the advice😅. So I gave it a detailed list of a typical days diet for us with quantities of each ingredient, and asked for a breakdown of nutrients including main vitamins, minerals,

Advice please on blood results especially possible iron issues.
I would be very grateful for any advice on my recent blood results please. I am concerned that for first time ever MCH and MCHC are just over range. My serum B 12 has historically been at top of range without supplementing. This has now dropped lower although still high in range. Never feel well although

Hi all, I am having persistent issues after having Covid in May. Covid symptoms persisted for 2 weeks after which I felt ok until I didn’t at the beginning of June… very dehydrated, peeing a lot, adrenaline type feelings, indigestion and was getting neuropathic sensations in my skin. This so far

Test results back - within range?
I posted last week that I suspected I was hypo (family history... that and coeliac) and you suggested I go away and get bloods tested. So results are as follows, all 'within range'... Slightly disappointed because I hoped that hypo might explain some of the symptoms I have that are otherwise unexplained
