Anyone know anything about ferritin and trans ferritin saturation levels?
OK so I got some results back re iron and B12 and would so appreciate some expert understanding from anyone of you. I believe I might have lowish ferritin. It's 39ug but my transferritin saturation is 52%, which is high. How do I increase my iron levels if I need to, with high transferritin saturation

Iron tabs.help
Hi fellow suffererers, I've just been reading the posts re.Iron supplements. I take two Gentle Iron 20mg every other night, I notice that the first ingredient listed on the bottle is a Bulking Agent(Microcrystalline Cellulose),I was wondering if I can purchase a Gentle Iron without any Bulking Agent,

Low t4 postpartum
Hello, I am 5 months postpartum and struggling with fatigue, brain fog, cold, anxiety, weight gain. Obviously sleep deprivation will be having an impact but I also feel like something is missing physically. I am also breastfeeding. T4 has been low since second trimester of pregnancy, we added 50mcg of

sleeping pills
MyRLs are becoming a problem and I regularly lose sleep. My GP says my iron test came back normal and wants me to try Pregablin. I am reluctant . I want to explore other alternatives. Do any sleeping pills override the RL ? Magnesium has been suggested… but how much and which one? Any suggestions would

Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active Iron 25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be

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

Iron Infustion Studies
Hiya fellow night twitchers! I finally got 2 iron infusions and it has made my RLS manageable with medication- yahoo!! Before, my ferritin levels were about 13- whereas ya'll know that they should be at least 75 for people with our syndrome. When my iron was so low, nothing worked- no matter how much

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

Potential underactive thyroid
hi, I’ve had to go private for fertility investigations after loss and have had some more intensive thyroid testing done after the NHS advised no concerns. I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance based on my results as I’m quite lost with what to do/where to go next. TSH levels Oct 2019:

BMB and ET diagnosis
I'm awaiting results of my BMB, have already had negative blood tests for MPL, Jak2, BCR and Calr. I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and a mammo this year. I've had 400+ platelets since 2014 (highest 524 in 11/22). Iron is OK. My Haem said that if an underlying cancer was the cause, it would
