Low Platelet, WBC, Lymphocyte etc
Good morning, I was wondering whether it is normal for those of us with UAT/Hashimotos to have low counts on these things? Whenever I get a full test done they come back slightly low or borderline. These are the ones I'm generally low or borderline on (since around 2012) : Lymphocyte count - last

T3 much better but feeling worse again!
I'm on a high dose of levo, 200mcg per day (I weigh 80kg right now), and just got test results back that show my T3 levels are much improved. However, of course, my TSH is now below range and my T4 way over. My ferritin, etc, is as bad as it's ever been, despite taking 210mg of ferrous fumarate each

Full blown PV now
I was diagnosed with Jak2+ PV back in January 2020. At that time, I didn't have high RBC, Hemaglobin, or hematocrit. I had high platelets, high WBC, basophilia, and eosinophilia. My hematologist said she was calling it PV rather than ET due to the high counts other than my platelets. She was completely

Transcobalamin
I have read often that B12 in the blood stream is not important and all that is important is the B12 available at the cellular level. I have not read as of yet that it is possible to experience both PA and an inborn transcobalamin error. It seems to be a one or the other method. With an inborn transcobalamin

Blood test questions
Hi everyone, I got back my third major blood panel. The only things that have been (slightly) high each time since starting the pred were my WBC and hemoglobin. Is this the normal for 25mg pred? Or something I should worry more about? Also, I haven't gotten a blood test for IL-6 yet. If I do, and if

Pregnancy loss and more results
Hello, I posted a couple of days ago re 3 miscarriages and suboptimal thyroid results (the screenshot). Today I've had some results back from the gp - serum B12, serum folate and serum ferritin. I am waiting for these same results (and vitD) from monitor my health. Also waiting for the full thyroid screen

paradoxical B12 deficiency. Might this be my problem? Anybody know how to treat?
Hello, I’m wondering if this might be the answer to some of my lingering symptoms some of which are neurological. I’ve always had high levels of B12 in all my Medichecks blood tests. I’ve been hypo for decades and have now settled on 40mcg of T3 split over 2 doses daily and test twice a year. I have

Preservatives in B12 injections - does frequency matter?
Hi all, I'm hoping for some insight about what effect the preservatives in different B12 injections have (or don't have) on us. I know I've heard some members of the PAS from the U.S. talk about the hydroxocobalamin administered in the States as having a lot of parabens, with the insinuation that they

Exhaustion
Is exhaustion just something we have to put up with if you have PA? I’m SI Hydroxocobalamin twice a week with folate supplements , in between getting it from my GP every 2 months. I’m taking a B complex with 5 mg of B6. Potassium is fine, ferritin on the up 65 but I’m still taking gentle iron supplements

Thyroid and Folate deficiency
I've been on Levothyroxine for many years (100mg). After contracting Covid last year and being unable to match previous physical performances, I was diagnosed with a folate deficiency. I was told this was common post Covid, was prescribed folic acid tablets and saw an immediate improvement. I was told
