Fibro and menopause symptoms
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Fibro 3 years ago and also began the menopause the year before ( not a gradual drift into menopause, more like falling off a cliff), so I have widespread chronic pain and all the symptoms of menopause too. I have also recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which

GI problems and RA ?
RA not under control. Had problems with Metoject Mtx as previously posted. I stopped all meds as I was feeling dreadful and needs to re-align. RA is flaring, but other than left hand and wrist, not dreadful. Yesterday, and in fact a few other times, had the most painful abdominal area, after it troubling

How much iron supplement to take?
In my latest attempt to get RLS under control I am attempting to take iron supplements (despite blood tests being normal, see attached). I've read perhaps iron levels can appear normal but are actual low in the brain. Right now I take over-the-counter 65 mg iron supplement every day on an empty stomach

weird test results
my first test came back positive for gastric parietal cell antibodies using the Elisa test. Second test tests 5 years later for parietal cell antibody titers, comes back negative. Ok is this something that comes and goes?

lidocaine patches
Pre being diagnosed with AF, I used to take Bruffen type medication for joint pain and inflammation. Naturally, once I was on Apixaban, I couldn't take it anymore. The pain was vicious and not even high strength co-codamol would take the edge of it. I tried so many things to improve the pain with

So the doc did some bloods....
Hi all. You may or may not recall I had some bloods carried out privately. The doctor wasnât keen on them so order these.

Soy Isoflavones and Levothyroxine
I've recently started taking soy isoflavones to counteract some post- menopausal symptoms. There seems to be conflicting reports re the effects , some say take the supplements hours after the Levo, some say don't take it as it interferes with the absorption of thyroxine. I've started to feel a bit better

Doctor won't prescribe Iron
So long story short, in the past I have been frequently low in Iron. Was therefore prescribed Ferrous Fumarate about 2 years ago and since then I have used SpaTone, as well as eating more red meat. For that reason I stopped requesting FF (as I prefer something gentler on stomach). Also supplemented

Blood Test Results - some changes
I was tested positive for PA and the GP asked for a full blood test to check iron levels. From what I can see the haemoglobin estimation and MCV are in normal ranges which should mean that I don't have iron deficiency, but I do have B12. As usual, the MCH and MCHC are elevated. There is also an increased

Am I unreasonable for requesting a full iron panel with these results?
GP said on the phone that nothing in my FBC suggested anemia and that my 'iron was tested in August and was fine'. I didn't have my notes in front of me so got flustered but I have an appointment this afternoon and I'd like to challenge her on it but I want to make sure I'm right! Edit: The photo looks

Ok to supplement with small amount of iron if not anemic?
SlowDragon and SeasideSusie, I think you were the ones who advised that to correct low ferritin without anemia, you shouldn't supplement but get the iron through food. I'm wondering if I could at least take 5mg of iron supplement each day -- the amount that's in many daily women's multivitamins? Not long-term
