any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Hello I'm new here.
I was going to wait to poast until I had my test results but here I am. Just been told I have autoimmune thyroiditis. Don't think it's Hashi's because I don't think there's a goitre, but I was told a few years ago that my inner throat was swollen because of waterbrash (stomach acid coming up the oesophagus

DEXA scan result Poor. What to do about T3? Endocrinologist unhappy with suppressed TSH even before DEXA. How do I advocate for myself now?!

coming off gnhr analogue injections
I’ve been on gnhr analogue injections for endo and adeno for a year and they relieved all my symptoms. My consultant has now taken me off them as they started wearing off after 3 weeks and he wanted to “see how I got on without them” (which is a whole different matter and I’m quite angry about). I’m

Duluxotine
Hi. I have been on Duluxotine for about 5 months now and have not felt any benefits re: pain. It has been making me wake up.in the night and more tired. I had a cold turkey over Christmas as I couldn't get my meds and had to go back on them after 5 days as I was still rattling. I take Pregablin as well

3 Day Ventilation and Sedation After Aortic Valve Replacement?
My consultant surgeon want to keep me on ventilation and sedation for 3 days following aortic valve replacement. Has anyone else had a valve replacement surgery were they were told they had to be ventilated and sedated for 3 days following surgery? Ventilation damages the lungs and those who are ventilated

Encourage to those contemplating valve replacement
I just want to encourage anyone worried about life after aortic valve replacement. I know that each case is different and when I had my valve replaced I was young and in good health apart from the leaking valve but I just want to share a photo I took on a walk this week to demonstrate what can be possible

Update on Head/neck pressure post from a few days ago
I have a previous post discussing this but as a quick recap - for some reason, after about 2.5 years of being on a steady dose, I suddenly felt unwell and v overmedicated on holiday about 8 weeks ago. I dropped my dose by 5, then another 5mcg and felt fine about from about two weeks afterwards until

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin
