Been a year+ since I posted, help figure out test results?
So I'm still feeling terrible and know i've hashimoto's despite my tests. A bit of a rundown i've recently been sicker and sicker on gluten and finally decided to take my tests+ celiac since I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I'm a bit let down as my results have betrayed me again. As for my B12 I suspect

ADENOMYOSIS PAIN help
Doctor thinks I have Adenomyosis too, I am 44, 1 vaginal birth, tubal ligation and Novasure Endometrial Ablation in 2015. I had the ablation due to heavy abnormal bleeding. I have not had a period since then, which is great, BUT this pain that I have been experiencing the past year for up to 2 weeks

Any advise for endo appointment?
I have been on my hypo journey for over 10 years now (previously Graves) and since I had T3 added to my treatment 4 years ago, I had pretty much normal life since then. However, last winter I developed severe vit D deficiency and despite being put on supplements, I haven’t got back feeling normal. I

What tests should I ask for?
Going to be going back to retest (after waiting to see if my T3 levels would magically jump up to where they need to be without changing any medication), and I'm mulling what tests to ask for. Of course, TSH, T3, and T4. I have never been tested for antibodies, but if those come out positive, what

Lethargic but all normal results
Hi everyone, newbie here. Been reading a lot of other posts, learned enough to know that normal ranges aren't the same as optimal, and that a number of important markers that were not included in my test. I'm hoping I could get some advice as to my readings, and whether or not I should pursue further

Finally an improvement.
It is now over 8 years since I had a total Gastrectomy and finally I'm enjoying my food with no ill effects. Gone is the dumping syndrome, reflux etc. Now I'm concentrating on regaining lost weight. My early morning breakfast consists of a half can of baked beans washed down with a cup of coffee. I'm

IRON INFUSION
Hello, Am due to have an iron infusion next Thursday. I would be interested to hear from people who have had/are having iron infusions, whether it has made a difference to their level of energy or other. I understand it will take quite a while to notice any improvement if it works, so how long did it
