How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
Dear friends, I would like advice on how to stagger my Levo before my next blood test on 8th. I normally take my 75mcg tab in two halves,, half in the morning and half in the evening. I started doing this because I found that when I took it in one dose it took a long time to feel the benefit, then I

Mastectomy and Covid
Mastectomy and Covid! I had my mastectomy last Tuesday 20th September. My partner tested positive for Covid on Wednesday the 21st, followed by myself my daughter and my son-in-law. Anyway we are battling through. One issue is I am wearing a pico unit. This is due to be checked and/or changed tomorrow

High iron & Low B12, maybe? New labs interpretation please
Apologies for what will probably be a long post... Recently I've been feeling pretty hypo (crap) - the usual stuff, fatigue, knackered all the time, low mood, no interest in things, hair falling out, but also with a few worsening symptoms - including cognitive decline, and by that I mean like short

Iron deficiency anemia and increased A1C levels
Have those of you who receive phlebotomy for PV experienced elevated A1C levels? I get phlebotomies ever couple of weeks, which as expected, has caused me to be iron deficient and a bit anemic (HGB 11.1, Ferritin <3 ng/mL, Iron 29, Transferrin 6%, UIBC 434, and IBC 463). I am also on 2 aspirin/

Update to Here We Go Again
There are 4 tumors, and the onc report says they are Stage II Grade II ER+ PR+ HER2- I hope this is accurate as the last breast cancer was a triple negative encasing a triple positive (hard to treat!) I am still going to Florida for the month of October; surgery is Nov 1. Need to recharge my batteries

What do I do now?
Hi About 3 years ago, when Covid started and it was difficult/impossible to see a GP, I started taking B12 supplements 3-4 times weekly. I was experiencing many symptoms - fatigue and tingling and breathlessness amongst them. Whilst not wanting to diagnose myself, I felt I had little choice given

haemochromatosis?? Help with blood results.
hi. I’m new to this forum so please bear with me. My late mum had this condition as does my sister. I was always regularly anaemic but had blood test results today that would suggest that I’ve got an iron overload. I’m worried that I might also be developing haemochromatosis and wondered if anyone would
