Are my iron levels ok?
Hi. At last I have managed to get a blood test done for iron levels. Could you, Sue Johnson, please comment on them? I feel the ferritin is quite high, which should be good, but am not sure about the other results. Ferritin: 176.5. Ug/ L 10.0-291.0 Serum Iron 16.1. Umol/L. 9.0-30.4 Transferrin

Most efficient way to increase folate?
When I last tested in June my folate was very low, despite iron, Vit D and ferritin being ok. My ferritin is never brilliant, and v slow to increase but it doesn’t seem to cause me any issues. Folate however was below range (2.08ug/l) on the medichecks system. I did continue my supplements but had to

MRI results show DIE behind uterus and and endometrioma.
Still in shock just home from hspt, been referred to MDT they are suggesting that my choices are full hysterectomy or excision surgery and the mirina. I'm 46 so guess menopause is near but hadn't noticed any symptoms but a surgical menopause seems abrupt. Do people go straight on HRT or do you wait and

How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
Dear friends, I would like advice on how to stagger my Levo before my next blood test on 8th. I normally take my 75mcg tab in two halves,, half in the morning and half in the evening. I started doing this because I found that when I took it in one dose it took a long time to feel the benefit, then I

Hypo/Hyperthyroidism compared to Menopause symptoms
I've just been reading an article in Saturdays Telegraph on someones story on the Menopause. Having passed through the menopause many years ago, I was reminded of the affect it had on my life at that time. Having forgotten quite a few of the symptoms, I realise that having had a total thyroidectomy

HRT issues - Plus need to hear about experiences with testosterone
I've been on continuous HRT - Utrogestan 100mg, 2 pumps of oestrogel daily and 1 vagirux tablet twice weekly since October 2022. I'm 45. I recently switched from oral to vaginal utrogestan due to depressed mood but that definitely doesn't suit me so I switched back after 11 days. I started to experience

natural hormonal balancing solutions
hi I’m waiting for an op for Adenomyosis and endo this year. I also have fibroids. I’m due for a full hysterectomy - including removal of ovaries and tubes. I gave a coil fitted but it’s not very effective due to the size of my uterus due to my condition. I am getting menopause symptoms but I’m not

Worsening RLS
Will get my Ferrutin checked . Aged 62 female. I have started knitting and sit still for several hours in the evening and wonder if that isn’t helping-had a night off knitting and a night off RLS on Saturday! Clutching at straws? Also associate it with being hot in bed. Not taking any meds at all

Seeking menopause advice
My period ended at 46 but now that I’m 50 enter mood swings, brain fog & insomnia. Is it normal to have menopause symptoms this many years after my last period. What treatments have worked well? I’m all about natural remedies first & foremost but at this point I’ll consider HRT if others can convince

Iron deficiency anemia and increased A1C levels
Have those of you who receive phlebotomy for PV experienced elevated A1C levels? I get phlebotomies ever couple of weeks, which as expected, has caused me to be iron deficient and a bit anemic (HGB 11.1, Ferritin <3 ng/mL, Iron 29, Transferrin 6%, UIBC 434, and IBC 463). I am also on 2 aspirin/

running after hip replacement contd 3
After a break of about three weeks due to a cold I have just completed week4 again and am starting it for a third time. I'm being ultra cautious and keeping a close eye on the twinges I am getting in my thigh muscles. It feels very much like the muscles that worked so hard to protect my hip when it was
