Which iron supplement?
I have been told I am iron deficient but doctor and endo have differing views on it. Ferritin is low - 23 (15-150) but complete blood count is normal except for MCV which was below range. It was 76f/L (80-100). My doctor told me at an appointment weeks ago it was slightly under range and in the past

Anemia: A Cause of Intolerance to Thyroxine Sodium
This might be fifteen years old, but I cannot remember seeing it posted here! (Occasional repetition isn't such a bad thing either.) Am well aware that getting iron deficiency anaemia resolved is a mantra round here. Nice to see such a simpe statement. [i]

Hypothyroid and iron deficient
Hi, I have posted about this before but I am really desperate now. I have been suffering for just over a year and it is now really beginning to get me down. My hypothyroidism had been reasonably well controlled for the past seven years since having my liothyronine increased from 20mg to 60mg three times

Withdrawal symptoms of Ferrous Sulfate
Hi Everyone, I was taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg 10 days ago for iron deficiency anemia. I took 1 tablet each for 2 days and then 2 tablets each of the next 3 days. From the 2nd day on wards I was having a lot of difficulty breathing, which I didn't realise then. Took a total of 8 tablets over 5 days

Can anyone help got some blood results but struggling to get any help!
Hi, I saw a locum doctor at my GP practice (over year and half ago) who diagnosed under-active thyroid as I had 3 blood tests which were under the lower level slightly. Since then I have had to argue to get blood test and asked for full thyroid test but given me the results just for TSH, she also did

Felt stiffness moving from sitting to standing. Over then next few weeks muscles in the groin and at the back of the knees started to get my attention

grotty day on thyroid s
Fed up with medications not agreeing with me. Just started thyroid s today and feel so bad I was worried in case Id been poisoned. I really hoped it would be a good substitute for armour which didnt make me feel great but a least I lost weight on it. Armour got too expensive for me, syntheroid made me
