Help with additional test results please
Further to previous posts I now have results of additional blood tests which were suggested. To recap, my thyroid function tests results were as follows: TSH 0.52 mu/L (normal range 0.27 -4.2 ) FT3 3.6 pmol/L (normal range 3.1 - 6.8) FT4 20.5 pmol/L (normal range 12 - 22) Additional test results

Thyroid and anaemia
I have just been told I have serious anaemia and will have an iron injection on Thursday. Can you tell me if there's any connection, or contraindication with my hypothyroidism? Thank you

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Head problems
I posted an email a few months ago about the fact I have now received my results of various tests on my head, and Pro very kindly replied. I printed it off, but no date on it unfortunately, and I couldn't find my original post. The subject was about subluxation, and there was a lady who said she had

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

Neurological Signals
Now that I self treat in a way that I no longer experience symptoms associated with B12 deficiency and the resulting known damage I am finding it helpful to think in terms of neurological signals. Temperature regulation becomes I now get signals that I am cold or hot and do not expose my body to situations

Trials and Tribulations.
I did a trial of 1.5 mg methylcobalamin 4 times a day and that was positive. I then increased physical activity and had 3 days of a downturn and recovered. I then reduced to .75 mg with no decline. I increased physical activity for three days and had a downturn. I then added .06 mg of methylcobalamin

How reliably does NHS retest Blood iron levels after IV Iron?
my new NHS gastroenterologist ordered my iron infusion when my GP alerted her to what they are calling complex iron deficiency blood test results, some longstanding. I was given Ferinject on April 11th. The infusion appointment letter says: the physician who is looking after you may follow up with
