On 3 February 23 I had an iron infusion (at a private clinic), and I have finally been able to get a blood test (on the NHS) to see what my serum ferritin and transferrin levels are now. My serum ferritin level has increased from 50.0 to 406.7. My transferrin level is down from 2.26 to 1.74. I was

Another test with different results
I posted this in reply to myself....um probably not the best place! So am re posting as a fresh post. I wondered if there was anything else I should be doing whilst struggling with my GP. My GP explained that FT3 and FT4 didn’t matter, that doing blood tests could suggest problems which aren’t really

I’m having the weirdest of times just now.. I redid all my anemia testing ,it had been a year since I did them so as I thought my iron was maybe too low and that’s why I felt tired all the time I thought I’d have it all checked and also Dr K at the infusion centre in Cambridge advised me to do them

Exhaustion
Is exhaustion just something we have to put up with if you have PA? I’m SI Hydroxocobalamin twice a week with folate supplements , in between getting it from my GP every 2 months. I’m taking a B complex with 5 mg of B6. Potassium is fine, ferritin on the up 65 but I’m still taking gentle iron supplements

The Danger of Falls and the warning signs and equipment to prevent them.
I was inspired to write this post by RTR1's recent post about her 1st fall. Falls are one of the most dangerous side effects of MS that affects a large percentage of MS patients. As our disability increases so does the likelihood of falls resulting from that disability. You might ask why I feel

AF after Covid jab
I have had 4 Covid jabs and each time have had a reaction that confined me to bed for at least 48 hours. In April 2022 after my pre op I underwent a total knee replacement - all went fine. I returned to have the pre op for my other knee to find that my heart beat was very irregular - AF had developed
