Low TIBC and low ferritin
Hi folks! I'm working on improving My ferritin levels (8, then 14, then 20). I've been taking iron supplements for the last 4 months but it seems i'm improving REALLY slowly. I'm worried, though, because my TIBC has always been low (240 on a 245-450 range). Does that mean I should take lactoferrin together

Severe knee arthritis
Hi everyone. I have bone on bone compartmental arthritis in both knees and have been told I need total knee replacements. I’m keen to avoid surgery if possible so am researching other ideas. Has anyone tried red light therapy and if so does it provide any pain relief or regeneration of cartilage etc.

INR problems
On Warfarin for 5 years still I broke my ankle followed by DVT. My INR level should be between 2.0 & 3.0 but has been erratic sometimes too and sometimes too low. I had a Total Gastrectomy 30 years ago and was wondering if malabsorption is causing the problem.

If anyone can help my dad interpret these numbers it might enable him to ask some intelligent questions when GP calls next week. Thanks
Hello again! I’ve asked a lot of questions on here lately and have received some really helpful and sound advice. This time I hope you can help with my dad’s reasonably comprehensive results. His thyroid hormones have been going awry for a couple of years and GP has just been monitoring. He takes no

Large Fibroids and upcoming surgery
I have read a few things on here about fibroids and what you all been through. I have had a difficult journey with doctors to get here, they have messed up and in so many words admitted it. I have surgery to have a total hysterectomy, I am really struggling with this. Has anyone else had a hysterectomy

Cancer again
Has anyone gotten a secondary cancer while on W & W ? I had breast cancer two years ago and had a lumpectomy with no chemo or radiation. My cancer is now back in same breast. Thinking of a mastectomy this time but still concerned that the CLL might be an underlying cause. Any comments would be very

Knee replacement in March
I am due to have a TKR on my right leg on 17th March and was hoping you lovely folk might help me get prepared. Given the huge waiting lists on NHS we are using a chunk of our savings to get it done at our local Nuffield hospital, but they don't link with occupational therapy so I have no idea what

Total hysterectomy without HRT?
Hi, I had a total hysterectomy three weeks ago for severe endometriosis and adenomyosis. I have been offered oestrogen HRT but I’m reluctant to use it because of the endometriosis and bad reactions to the pill and coil in the past. I am trying herbal remedies and don’t feel too bad. Can anyone tell
