Unsure to be worried or not! Possible NAFLD
Hello, I went to my docs in October to ask for HRT and have high CRP levels which has caused all sorts of tests. They were 22 in Oct, 18 in dec and 15 in January. My ferritin was slightly raised (currently 163 should be under 150) but she said that inflammation goes together. There was a query that I

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
