Low Ferritin and iron supplements & Iron Panel interpretation
Further to my post of 24.10.22 Endo increased my Levo to 75 mcg daily and advised TSH to aim for 0.5-2.5, when I mentioned low ferritin she looked at the blood test and said everything is within range? Said my symptoms of brain fog, swimmy head, heaviness and tinitis are unlikely related to thyroid

Bone met pain
I have mets to the pelvic area and one near the spine. The big area is my left hip socket area. I had a hip replacement of the right hip a few years ago and need the left one done now.However, with the mets there, it may not be possible. The socket is reamed out to one mm smaller than the artificial

Back, Shoulder, Knee & Hand Joint Pain.
Hi, I had an X-Ray on both of my hands last April which confirmed I had Osteoarthritis in all of the joints in both of my hands. I have had shoulder pain in both of my shoulders for many years as my job is working on a computer. I started to have lower back pain in 2020 and always had pain in one knee

Hello, please could I ask for your advice. I've had Hashimotos around a decade. Recently I cannot seem to get my dose around the sweet spot for TSH of 1.

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

Does anyone take HRT without menopause?
Following on from my previous post I've gone back over previous bloods. These were done 10 months ago so need re-doing but I'm wondering if the low estrogen has something to do with my short menstrual cycles and nonexistent libido. Does anyone here take OTC HRT? Is it something I should leave well

GP appt on Friday - what to ask?
Hi, following my post a few weeks ago, I have more test results and a follow-up appt on Friday with the lead GP. As mentioned, I've been offered anti-depressants more times than I can remember over the last 20 months since multi-nodular goitre was identified. I've gone on HRT to rule peri-menopause
