Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

Advice needed on iron levels (plus an update on Targinact)
Hi everyone, I posted recently asking for advice about Targinact, which I started taking on 10 January. I had such an extreme and horrible reaction that I stopped taking it 15 days later. Given my dose was only 5/2.5mg daily, I haven't had any withdrawal issues other than feeling very tired and depressed

Should I accept dose reduction?
My TSH dropped from 4.98 on diagnosis to below 1 as soon as I started Levo in 2020. For the past two years it’s been 0.01-0.03. It dropped that low when I went up to 100mcg in 2021. I accepted I was over medicated from advice here ( FT4 24.9, FT3 6.5) and because I was losing weight and I reduced

Intense Knee Pain
I have posted before about my unbearable knee pain & sadly it still persists. All the years that I was on Pramipexole & then the Neupro patch I got the very uncomfortable RLS symptoms of creeping sensations in the legs and the impossible ability to keep them still. but never pain. When, during lockdown

Ferritin levels
Got bloods taken last week, the GP who ordered them isn't in until Wed, but I spoke to receptionist who said all had been returned as "normal" levels. I asked her to read out my ferritin and she said it was 64. So I know this isn't "normal" for folks with RLS and I image the GP will put me on iron supplements

symptoms with treated PA
Hello forum Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG) results in the loss of parietal cells which causes a loss of production of stomach acid and intrinsic factor (IF). The loss of IF results in low B12. My general query is; are there consequences and symptoms connected to a lack of stomach

Supplements
Hi lovely people. Just a question. In the past, I have had v low iron, folate rock bottom and prob other vitamins low that I never had checked. I have worked a lot on my micro biome/gut this past year plus supplementing continuously. I cut out gluten as leaky gut was diagnosed through a test.

anaemia and ADT
just had full blood test before I press on with ADT aiming for 18 months and done 9 months adjuvant with RT for G9 - as posted before my oncologist seems to lean to me stopping ADT now as worries about the effect in my polio - though she isn’t a polio expert of course, she just thinks the extra gain

Advice needed please about liquid Levothyroxine side effects
Hello, I wrote a post about a month ago saying my adult son was unable to get liquid levothyroxine as it was out of stock. He was taking the brill Pharma brand and tolerated it really well. The chemist managed to source Teva liquid levothyroxine three weeks after we asked for a repeat prescription

RE iron tablet recommendations
Hi again I have to get my iron levels up..

And my private Endo

Iron values
I finally went to the Dr and had my iron levels tested. My serim ferritin is 408 and my transferrin is 26%. So my basic understanding is i have to decrease the first and increase the second. How do I do this?? The issue now is that my GP has no idea what this means and how to get to correct levels. Any
