On iron supplements but my ferritin did not increase
I started having a lot of symptoms of iron deficiency last year after correcting my long term B12 deficiency: dry mouth, palpitations, muscle twitches. It is possible that my iron had been low for a long time and I just didn't notice because my B12 had also been low. I started taking iron supplements

Advice on test results please
Hello there I would be glad if some advice on my latest test results please: CRP HS X 6.23 mg/L (0 - 5) - this is high, but I came down with a temperature and sore throat the following day, so I'm guessing it's probably due to fighting illness rather than autoimmunity. Ferritin 94.9 ug/L (13 - 150)

Help understanding coeliac test results
Recent results of testing for coeliac. Doctor says 'no further action'. Tissue transglutaminase IgA level 0.3 U/mL [0.0 - 10.9] Immunoglobulin A level 2.06 g/L [0.8 - 4.0]
Should I be concerned that the first result is very low in the range?

Iron Test Results
Could I please share my results, I struggle sometimes to follow what I should be looking for. I had a full fasting iron panel test that had to be repeated because my transferrin saturation was below range at 15% (suggested range was 20.0 - 40.0)., therefore, I am wondering if 40mg Solgar Gentle

Coordinating pill times help please
Need some guidance please on the best timings for thyroxine and vitamins. I’ve just received my first pack of thyroxine and not decided on when to take them yet. I feel night time might be better as I’ll have the day free to take everything else. Although I’m leaning towards the morning as I wake up

Recent test results 'Satisfactory' - NOT! - and any advice about supplements on which order to take?
I've just looked online at my latest test results and the top box from my surgery says 'Result -
Satisfactory
' and 'What you need to do -
No Further Action
'. Quick history... I've got hashimotos, diagnosed in 2018, started on levothyroxine in 2020, noticed significant hair thinning/loss

Vitamin results are in, advice please.
I finally managed to get a Ferritin test from GP after latest Medichecks showed it had gone down despite taking 20mg of Solgar Gentle Iron. Well, the NHS one shows it’s gone up to 31 from 24 which is amazing really as I haven’t been taking any iron for two weeks!!! So I’m getting no help from them.

Recommendations for magnesium
I've got bored of pushing down 2 enormous Solgar magnesium citrate tablets every day, never mind the expense. I'm thinking of something i can mix in water next time. What do people recommend?

Can mild incline in potassium levels after b12 inj therapy explain heart palpitation and anxiety?
I'm probably deficient in b12 as I have many of the relevant symptoms (including neurological) so I started b12 injection therapy in the advice of my Doctor. I'm using cianocoblamin 1000 mcg injection each alternate day. I'm also mildly deficient with Iron so I take the Solgar "Gentle Iron" - 25mg byglicinate
