Turnaround time for Blue Horizons?
Hi, This is my first post here but have previously posted on PA. Had my bloods taken on 7th March for the Thyroid 6 blood test with Blue Horizon. They advised me by email after I'd placed the order that if the samples are sent to Edinburgh, that they are updating their systems so there may be delays.

Magnesium Spray?
I think one or two a-fib posters in the past have mentioned using magnesium oil or spray, and I'm wondering how effective this is overall? Has the use helped with ectopics, or a-fib, or sleep, or general sense of well-being? And can the oil or spray, or even epsom salts soaks, be safely used in addition

I am just writing a little note for encouragement.I was helped by people on this board when I was first diagnosed 15 months ago with PA and Hashimotos and had a TSH of 118 ( yep 118). I know I am a very short way into my journey but I feel like I have come on leaps and bounds. I have a TSH of 0.46 and

Oral Epsom Salts For Constipation
It is a magnesium chrystaline powder that can be added to apple juice to mask the bitter flavour. It really works for adults and children. Not for regular use but occasional. https://www.kegel8.co.uk/kegel8-epsom-salts-supplement-12176.html

Ferrous Fumerate 210mg
Trying to get some for my friend and used to get off amazon but no longer selling it. Can only seem to find on ebay or weird online pharmacy sites whom can't spell. Anyone know reliable source of where to buy? I suppose only other option is ferrous sulphate over the counter but this is harsher on stomach

Finally blood results
So finally got my blood results as follow: Ferritin: 145 (expected as I take Ferrous sulphate every day for months) Folate: 15.3 VitB12: 444, which I understand is good from a UK perspective, but a bit on the low in other places. However; MCV: 93.9, so in range but on the high side MCH: 34.8 which was

Acute fever after having warm bath or shower
Hi everyone I'm feeling quite desperate as we all do from time to time for answers or people to understand us or just support. Lately I've noticed after a bath or shower I experience the onset of acute fever and my body temperature spikes to anywhere between 38.3c to 39.1c. I don't allow it to get higher

Rib pain
Oh Lordy, my ribs are painful. Fed up with this blasted illness. Am on 10 mg now and Dr H wants me to stay on that until the end of Jan so going to have to grit my teeth and bear it. Hot pads, Epsom salts and as much rest as is possible at this time of year. Hey ho. Happy Christmas to you all! Xx

Tired legs that feel as if made of lead and a sense of collapsing.
Hi, diagnosed as hypothyroid nearly 3 years ago. I'm on 75mg of levothyroxine and taking ferrous sulphate as low on iron in my last blood test. My question is if anyone else has this symptom: legs that feel as if made of lead and a feeling of collapsing. What do people recommend to solve or improve

Private Blood results
I have been on 75mcg of Levothyroxine now for 4 weeks, but still have a majority of the symptoms so I decided to do a private test through medichecks as my doctors will not test for Ft4 or 3. My lasts results I posted was TSH 1.55 on 50mcg. The private results have come back as: TSH 0.431 (0.27 - 4.20

Endo appt on Thursday - new blood test results after 9 months on Erfa (it was going so well...)
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyorid in 2008. After being on levothyroxine for years, I paid to see a private endocrinologist and switched to Erfa (NDT) in Feb 2016. Had last load of blood tests in May and was feeling pretty good, taking 120 mg of Erfa a day. Now am due for a six-month check-up
