GP appointment went well!
So I had a follow up appointment about my latest blood results… vitamin D was at 174 and ferritin at 43.5 ug/L (20.0 - 130.0) My GP was not concerned about my vitamin D level and said resume at whatever I am taking as it’s not a toxic level 🤷🏻♀️ The ferritin level however he agreed is in range but

Iron infusion
I had an iron infusion. Finished it last week. My ferritin was 44 prior to infusion. I have to have a blood test to see if it went up. Just curious how long before you feel better. I still feel the same, very tired. Came off mirapex a month ago and waiting for my dr. to give me a new medication.

T4/T3 struggle
I’m writing this because I can’t seem to lose weight since I was diagnosed/put on medication 2 years ago. I was at least 15kg less before medication. I keep gaining despite eating clean. I am on 75mcg levo and about 3mcg of Cytomel. (I weigh 88kg) I gained most of the weight since I started Cytomel

Thank you to everyone who has previously offered advice on this website, I’m writing again in need of a little bit more advice.

Help with results appreciated
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I had full TFTs etc so I was surprised to see some of the results, especially compared to last time (2020). The TSH is lower than in 2020 (when it was 3.7), the Free T4 is slightly higher (16.2 in 2020), but the Free T3 is lower than it was (5.24). My B12 results

Blood Test Results
Hello, I would be grateful for some advice regarding these results. The background is that my Levothyroxine dose was reduced from 100mcg to 75 in early February 2024, due to a TSH only test which was below range. By late March I could barely function so I had a private test prior to the GP's TSH test

Curious about PBC symptoms and LFTs at Diagnosis
