Raising ferritin levels
Hi, I tried taking ferrous sulphate 200mg tablets with calcium + vit D. This made me feel really sick all the time in spite of taking them with food. I am currently taking ferrous fumarate 210mg tablets with 500mg vit C tablets. I am finding these a little better but not much. Some people on this site

Please recommend an iron supplement - thanks
I'm having my ferritin tested next week and it looks as if I will be ferritin deficient again. I've got a prescription for ferrous fumarate, but I'm happy to pay for something easier to take and more effective. The last time I had this issue, it took me five years to get my ferritin up from16 to 102

Full blood results raised TSH several highlighted results high b12. Have a look and see what you think?
Hello Full blood results for all you clever people. TSH is raised and antibodies are low. I suspect I've been a bit thyroid odd for a long time but just got on with it and not found it too bad. My mum is also borderline underactive but again, copes with it. I started in March with sudden hair loss,

Some assistance with interpretation please?
Since mid March I have been taking 125 Levo and 10 t3 after talking endo into a trial. Feeling much much better. Lost nearly a stone in weight so far (Slimming World - working hard at it) and felt energetic enough to start yoga and Tai Chi. Take ferrous sulphate instead of the other iron supplement

Hair loss
Following my previous post, and the helpful responses from people on the site, I had a full blood test done by my GP and results were "within the normal range". However, since I am experiencing real hair loss (coming out in clumps) I booked a private appointment with a trichologist. She has prescribed

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
