High Transferrin Saturation without optimal iron levels
Hello, I am currently trying to get my iron levels up and they are slowly creeping in the right direction. However. My latest bloods show that my TSAT is now too high at 65% (up from 39% two months ago), and ferritin at 70ug/L (up from 65ug/L.) Is this just something to monitor for now?

Albumin
New paper below [1]. About 18 years ago, a man who headed a PCa group in CA told me to forget PCa-related markers - the best indicator that a man wouldn't be around in 6 months was albumin. My albumin had been 3.9 at diagnosis. I worked to reduce sub-clinical inflammation via polyphenols (inhibitors

update on blood results
Good morning everyone - so referring back to last weeks post my blood tests came back showing raised Neutrophil count 10.2 and my C-reactive protein up at 12 - so GP suggested going back to 12mg for 2 weeks then dropping to 11 for a further 2 weeks then repeating bloods. I also asked for a referral

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. I’ve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - I’m not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

The CRP:Albumin ratio & CRPC Survival
New paper from Portugal below [1]. Here is another study showing the consequences of subclinical inflammation. The inflammation markers used were C-reactive protein [CRP] & albumin. {The useful Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score uses the same markers, but in a cruder way.} It is always better

What questions did you wish you’d asked before hysterectomy?
Hi All, I had excision surgery (BSGE surgeon) last autumn (pouch of Douglas, uterosacral ligament and uterine wall) and since spring this year the pain has returned. I’d been offered Zoladex or a hysterectomy, but i pushed for an MRI before making any decisions (the surgeon put me on the waiting list

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…..

Starting investigations... advice going forward?
Hi all, GP has referred me to a specialist and ordered some tests to investigate ongoing bowel issues I'm having. I'm hoping to get some advice to help me be more confident/focused and not miss asking for/giving important information going forward. For context, I'm an 'always busy' 39yo mum and shift

Keeping Going (part 4)
Well having been turned inside out by a nasty Bug and losing 14 lb of weight in two week, my Grandson and daughter convinced me that if at 76 to recover, I was going to have to do a lot of work. So ordered some Whey protein and some weights. So some gentle weight training plus gentle runs. After two

Elevated transferrin saturation
What does it imply when your transferrin saturation is high but ferritin is still too low?

I have RLS and recently updated iron labs revealed the following: Ferritin=59.2ng/mL & Transferrin Saturation = 53%.
I have been taking oral iron supplements (Iron sulfate 325mg) and Vitamin C 200 mg daily on an empty stomach but the ferritin has been going up but slowly but the transferrin saturation has gone up much higher. Should I continue with my iron supplements?

My visit to the Neurologist in the UK
I was incorrectly referred to the epilepsy clinic but the consultant saw me anyway and took my history. She said she would also chat to the “movement specialist” for their in put. She did a physical examination and noted my reflexes were “brisk”. She said that the dopamine agonists had been effective

Goat whey, casein, IGF-1 etc. - Do they promote or slow cancer growth?
I've been trying for many years to decide whether to take a protein powder supplement to help maintain muscle mass. Since I started on ADT in 2016, I've lost 30 pounds. I don't know how much is due to the ADT, and how much is due to my diet. I'm 172 pounds now. I was muscular and athletic at 202,

Blood test results advice since starting T3
Just got my medichecks results through. Tests taken pre 9am, fasted with delayed T4 and split T3 dose as per protcol. To recap, I added 1 x 5mcg T3 for the first time about 8 weeks ago. Endo told me to reduce my thyroxine from 125 x 6/100x1 . I didnt do this, but reduced half way and have been taking

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

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
