Low iron, supplementing with 3 Arrows
Hi everyone, I posted about a week ago after having iron studies done through the NHS, it came back that I wasn’t iron deficient enough to be treated by a doctor, but my levels were definitely low enough to start treatment since I’m already experiencing symptoms and don’t want to get worse…..

never adjusted
I had a mastectomy three years ago and I've never gotten over this deep seated shock as to how it looks. Don't bother writing if all you can think to say is I'm lucky the cancer is gone.

Looking for a Surgeon with Specific Skills
This is a long shot. I’m an Aussie. I had HD brachytherapy for prostate cancer in 2010. In 2016, I was diagnosed with Carcinoma in Situ in the bladder. I’ve had multiple rounds of BCG, and I’m now heading towards a radical cystectomy. My urologist is nervous about the risk of damage to the rectum

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

Is it needed and safe for my mom to supplement with folate or B12?
Hi all! I haven't posted before but I've been reading for a few months and find everything really helpful. My mom has had both chemotherapy and radiation this last year, and now has many overlapping symptoms with b12 and folate deficiencies (fatigue, mild neuropathy for years, mild memory loss/confusion

Iron test results - 6 weeks pregnant
Hello again My last iron test results suggested I was oversupplementing, so I reduced it to 1 Thorne Iron, alternate days. I have since found out I'm pregnant, but not sure that it makes any difference to what I'm doing...guess it will just need monitoring as we go, as iron is one of the things that

still confused about my iron results
I’ve now redone my iron panel with medichecks and have similar results to last time. I can’t work out why my ferritin continues to drop. And what I can do about it as I know I need higher ferritin levels for optimum thyroid hormone function. …………………………… Ferritin……….Iron……….. Trans. Sat………..TIBC……….

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

mastectomy
Well my surgery went well,Only problem was as I expected low oxygen levels after the anesthetic. so glad I opted for Mastectomy-would never have coped with further operations and up to 18 months of treatment if I had opted for reconstruction..Only appts now are with a district nurse to check dressings
