I seem to have well periods now I am treating myself on thyrogold but every 10 days or so I have a really bad spell, unable to get out of bed. I have not had my blood done for a while but imagine my tsh is suppressed as it was last time and I have increased my dose since then. I seem to be particularly

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

VitD3 and medications that can reduce thyroid hormone absorption...
Houston Thyroid and Endocrine state
vitD3 can significantly reduce absorption of thyroid hormone
and advise taking it 4 hours away from thyroxine as advised with calcium and iron. [i]These are medications that reduce the absorption of thyroid hormone in the gastrointestinal system significantly

What to ask GP?
Hello all! Just a bit of advice please. I have brought my September appointment forward to discuss b12, folate results Etc because I feel so tired and out of whack. I am hoping he will suggest some b12 injections as I have heard they work faster. If he says these are not necessary, is there anything
