Recent blood test results advice please
I have just received some blood test results, having had an iron infusion in October 2023, I would love advice please, bearing in mind my serum ferritin is still over reference range. I have not taken iron tablets since the iron infusion. Serum folate 5.5 ug/L (ref. range 3.0-20.5) Serum ferritin

B12 deficiency treated before folate deficiency
Please could someone post a link supporting the importance of this fact for PhonixGrace . Explaining B12 and folate are tested together normally for a good reason. If folate is supplemented before B12 . The b12 deficiency can be masked/ missed. Nerve/neurological damage can occur . Once B12 injections

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

I find this helpful;
If I wake up in the middle of the night I inject. I suspect the reason I wake is lack of available B12 for whatever reason. I still experience lack of appetite which is better described as feeling full and to eat would be similar to eating more after a too large meal. I use nutritional shakes when

Too much methylcobalamin?
The first 2.5 years I believe I was starving my body for B12 even though I was injecting 1 mg to 1.5 mg a day. How I experienced 'reversing out' was likely more severe than necessary due to starving my body of B12. I was in the hills of Scotland in Greenock. I was hanging with two people I love and

helvella - Thyroid Blog
You might or might not know that I have been accumulating information about thyroid issues in my blog - I have created a significant number of pages now. Many will be aware of some of the specific pages which I link to quite regularly. But you might not have realised what else is there. Below is a copy

Folate and B12
Both my Folate and Active B12 are only just over 40% through range. Can anyone recommend good, and hopefully not too expensive, supplements please.

Finally
Morning I actually got to see my GP last night! Thankfully she listened ( borderline B12 and very low folate) this is after speaking to two other Gps in the surgery who didn’t believe me ☹️ Anyway she suggest Pernicious Anemia! Woohoo! So have some blood tests to follow ❤️

What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

Cortisol tests
Hi, I just had my cortisol retested to see if there had been any improvement from February 2023. Since August 2023, I have been slowly titrating NDT Armour and taking vitamins, minerals and amino acids prescribed by a private thyroid Dr. My iron & B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still
