Pains - could it be iron suplements?
For the last week I've been getting increasing aches and pains. First in my hands and feet, then my arms and legs too, now all over. I've been taking 600mg of Ferrous Sulphate a day for a month now. Could it be that or just worse hypo symptoms?

Very weak after losing a lot of blood
Following heart surgery five months ago (two more stents fitted to coronary arteries) l was prescribed a very strong anti platelet drug called Ticagrelor. The alarming side effects to this drug put me in hospital and I lost a lot of blood from both my prostate and a pierced bladder which was damaged

Epsom Salts Epsom Salts Epsom Salts!
I keep reading on the benefits of Epsom Salts in a bath and I thought I would explain a bit about it! Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulphate. The only reason it works is because a little of the magnesium is absorbed through the dermal layers (skin). Very little but enough to give a bit of relief and anything

This form of iron sounds better than regular ferrous sulphate tablets but I don't know if we have it here in US: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9118599

Advice please on confusing problem.
I have top of range RBC in range Hb. and take ferrous sulphate for iron deficiency anaemia. I have top of range Vit B 12 when supplementing. Low MCV & MCH. I feel I have all the symptoms of pernicious anaemia. Please can anyone suggest why I have lots of RBC's with low MCV & MCH?

Ferritin Low: How much Iron do you take and what form?
Hi all, My partner has changed to NDT (Armour) from Levothyroxine. This is looking pretty good so far - however one thing we wanted to make sure we had right is his ferritin level. Last blood test this was 40, range 30-400 ug/L. His endo said that this was "fine", but we promptly ignored her and he

Do you need omeprazole when you have an hiatus hernia?
Hello all, This is a long winded post but i need to tell you it all so you get an understanding. I started with IBS problems around 5 years ago after a severe bout of food poisoning. At first it was IBSD and then gradually became IBSA. Before getting an 'official' diagnosis i had numerous blood tests

High serum B12, but feel awful,opinions please
Serum B12 1099, max 1100 whilst supplementing. Low MCV&MCH. Was diag. with iron deficiency anaemia now just in range whilst on ferrous sulphate. If I understand correctly pernicious anaemia would give High MCV & MCH. Any suggestions please as to what could be going on here or am I clutching at straws
