Iron blood test results are back, please could you take a look for me?
In a previous post I gave my Ferritin result from a blood test in March (this was 36.90) and I was recommended to check my other iron levels before taking iron supplements . I now have these results back and would be really grateful if you could let me know your thoughts please : Medichecks BLOOD TEST

Blood test time - still no better
Hello I'm posting again to get views on my latest blood tests, although I think it's probably same as last time. I just don't get anywhere with my doctor. Last time some of you were saying that I possibly had poor conversion and I think my results this time are showing similar sort of numbers. My doctor

help with results - Hashimotos?
Can someone help me interpret these results please? The anti-thyroidperoxidase is so high. Does this mean I have hashimotos? Ferritin and Vitamin D are on the low side. What level of supplements do people suggest? Mid 50s female. Currently on 125mcg levothyroxine. Slightly overweight but not massive

Hi all, I got some private tests done (attached) and I have to say I’m surprised as they seem to point to me being hyperthyroid but have all the symptoms of hypo. Can someone explain to me please? Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious anaemia and am getting B12 injections off

Getting adequate bone minerals without milk or yogurt
I'm 66 and have osteopenia. I took calcium and Vitamin D for many years because I've always hated milk and yogurt. I have some digestive problems now and can't take calcium. I try to eat green veggies, and I eat cheese, but I worry about my bones. I tried calcium hydroxyapatite but got constipated.

Vitamin D and Anemia: Insights into an Emerging Association
Found an interesting study. The conclusion sold it for me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4659411/ CONCLUSION Vitamin D is associated with anemia in various study populations and recent evidence suggests that the association may differ by race and is likely specific to anemia of inflammation

Should I push for an ultrasound of my thyroid? I have primary hypothyroidism without Hashimoto's...
Hi guys, I'm back! 4 months ago I asked to go up on my dosage of levothyroxine (I was on 50mcg) but the GP declined. However, I had a blood test again yesterday and my TSH has gone up more, and my T4 dropped more, so they are letting me go onto 75mcg - result! As of the last blood test (yesterday), my

low or high stomach acid?
I have been suffering with heat in my chest and a cough and have started lansoprzole which has helped but not much. Prior to this, a lot of stress with antibiotics and antifungal medication for infections. Could I have low stomach acid instead? I am testing my thyroid privately and vitamins to see
