Hi everyone! I posted recently on here and found the information from this group SO valuable. I have just done a full thyroid blood test (Medichecks) and just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on if there is anything in particular I should be doing to manage my hashimoto's going forwards (I am interested

Not sure if I am becoming a little paranoid. Has anyone else had a persistently low body temperature but otherwise feel ok. Oral thermometer keeps reading 35.4. I had an ear one before and it kept saying low so I thought it was broken and bought a new one. Was diagnosed with RA a couple of years

This is because my symptoms started after an ear infection and I cannot equalise that ear (where I have

By my doctor's suggestion, I took a genetic test to see if I was metabolizing Folate... results were positive for the mutation consistent with Folate deficiency.

I am low on Folic Acid, would it be worthwhile taking iron supplements as well as Folic Acid?

The liquid spray & other iron tablets don’t help. I’m constantly going back n forth for blood tests before they will give me back the strongest iron tablets again. This happens every four months and has gone on now for years. I’ve been getting very bad upset stomach now and struggling to get outside

Morning everyone. I used to take inofolic alpha but then came off that when the cycle didn't work, then just used the big standard folic acid for the second cycle which also failed. Now going into the third, my doctor has said to start either inofolic or myo-inositol. What did you use? I'm more keen

Hi, I've been feeling increasingly week during the last past months. Jelly legs, crying for no reason (not depressed though). I just want to lie down. Legs feel like lead, physically exhausted after minor exercise (short walk). Dizzy spells. Nauseated sometimes. Blurred vision. I thought maybe my iron

Hiya, I've been a silent member for almost a year. It has been very helpful to read other people's stories and has helped me feel less alone. I am a 23yo female and have struggled with daily fatigue and generalised muscle and joint aches and pains for over a year. I have been to the GP on a few occasions

Good morning. I am posting my latest set of blood results in a table that also shows the history of blood tests that I have in relation to my hypothyroidism.
