Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS

Bupropion/Zyban/Wellbutrin and sleep?
Hello, I started 150mg over a month ago. I had sleep issues previously but now they seem to be getting worse. Psychiatrist has recently asked me to take 300mg as apparently I haven’t responded that well to 150mg. Feeling reluctant to do so. My HRT was adjusted at the same time by an endocrinologist.

no help from the gp
I have not been diagnosed - my doctor has no idea and can’t find someone to refer me to. I have a few questions and feel this might be the best place to get answers as mu GP is no help. I broke my hip 2 years ago and walked around on it for 6 months before I got to the stage I couldn’t get out off bed

Disappointing GP visit…referral for talking therapy and poss CFS, no increase in levo
As I’m still very symptomatic (hypothyroidism with history of results in bio) I went back to the GP to explain this, share my Blue Horizon test results and ask for a trial increase to 125mg of levothyroxine. Not a great appointment- apparently I shouldn’t lay everything at the door of my thyroid! GP

Laparoscopy oophorectomy

I now have a 2 week wait for results of endometrioma and omental biopsy, if positive then I will have

Does Anyone Feel?
I am wondering if its possible to feel as well on thyroid replacement as I did pre hypothyroid. Just for background looking back 4 years ago I felt really fit and healthy,had plenty of energy, was going to the gym. Then the pandemic hit and my gym closed down and went bust. In June 2020 I finally started

Comments On Blood Test Results Please
I don't post very often but I read a lot on here, and after having a Blue Horizon full thyroid blood test, I would be interested in the thoughts of anyone on what came out of it. I had radioactive iodine some years ago and am on levothyroxine (100mg). My results from the GP always come back as 'normal
