Experiences with

Solgar Gentle Iron

I was also taking 20mg of solgar gentle iron to! So I went back on the 210mg of ferrous fumarate taking just 1 tablet every other day with vitamin C and my ferritin level has risen to 80 in 8 weeks! If my body struggles to absorb iron, then why does my ferritin rise so quickly!?

Hi there, I was wondering if any of the incredibly knowledgeable members could help me as I’ve got myself into a bit of a hole. I’ll try to summarise my history as best I can, but I apologise as this is very long! My journey began almost 3 years ago when I went to my GP with classic symptoms of perimenopause

I have been 'lucky' to get B12 ampoules on prescription but I suspect (although I'm not surprised) that my GP is showing signs of withdrawing this prescription. I have just seen on my patient record that a GP at my surgery has sent a letter to the B12 specialist in Cambridge to ask: 1. What is the duration

These are my latest test results....any help much appreciated...

Hi all, I'm 43 with PV (on interferon). I had IVF and now wondering if I'm entering perimenopause... Anxiety is on the up! I've been having a look at diet and supplements. Magnesium seems to be recommended a lot. Are there any supplements we shouldn't take? (Apart from iron!). Thank you 😁

I have been on Prednisone for 5+ years now usually at levels above12.5mg. As some of you know I was told earlier in the year that the wrong diagnosis may have been made & I was to come off it.

Hello I'm posting on behalf of my partner, who just had these medichecks done. I'm also hypothyroid, hashi and have P.A and cortisol issues which have all affected my vit/min absorption so I've been worried about him for ages. For the last few years he's become extra tired and achy, he's put on loads

Hi all Sorry I haven't been on here for a while and I hope you are all doing ok. A little while ago my condition was changed from Polycythemia to Idiopathic Erythrocytosis although my research sees that they are both similar and have the same treatment.

Hi all My previous post is here. https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/151438493/newbie-hyperactive-hashis-who-knows-advice-needed My GP has ordered these bloods (ignore that they say postponed this seems to be that she likes to do the forms herself). I'm feeling increasingly fatigued and

My bio is in here already. Somehow the site wouldn't let me in unless I joined again. I left my last note that I was going to see another neurologist at Kaiser. Unfortunately we get lumped in with sleep medicine. I saw him for 8 months. He knew very little about RLS, was more interested in getting
