Low Ferritin
In May of this year my Ferritin level was 11 (range 15-200) and I was given Ferrous Fumarate and told to have bloods done again in a few months. My recent results were 19. I know Ferritin levels are notoriously slow to rise but I was surprised at the very slow progress....Does this seem right?

Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism: an Analysis of Eleven Randomized Controlled Trials
I have only read this abstract - once, and very quickly - hence no real comments. But patients preferring combination treatment is hardly a surprise. We'd probably prefer our own nicely working thyroid - which would be producing T4 and T3. Wouldn't it? [i]Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism

Blood sugar levels
I've read that Prednisolone can spike blood sugar levels. I have a strong family history of late onset type 2 diabetes through the generations. I have ordered a blood glucose monitor, I thought it might be a good idea, like I monitor my blood pressure too.

Raised GGT
Following a routine ultrasound a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with multiple liver cysts including one large one (15cm). Liver blood tests showed raised ggt and alkaline phosphate. Ayear ago they were 95 and 135 respectively. My GP referred me to a liver specialist who remarked that he sees much

supplements and thyroxine
Hi all. I wanted to ask advice as I know that my GP will just suggest a regular blood test to see if the supplements are affecting my thyroxine. I hope you don’t mind taking some time to check if these ingredients are ok with my thyroid meds. I have uploaded pics. I guess it’s the iodine in my perimenopausal

am I pregnant? Is it my period starting?? Or is it implantation bleeding?
Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex a bunch of times and usually we are fine. We did it recently. I just got on birth control I think for almost 3 weeks I’ve been on it? And suddenly my discharge has started to change it was a bit of a yellowish color at first so I thought maybe it was an infection

Severe RLS Augmentation on Pramipexole
I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles. When officially diagnosed in my 20’s, I was prescribed clonazepam which helped for a few years. I then was referred to a neurologist and

You can't make this stuff up
8 years of IVF, 8 transfers, 3 miscarriages and one live birth in the midst of all of that for which we are very blessed. Just as we decide that we just don't think we can go on anymore as the only embryo left is very poor quality.............I get a positive pregnancy test from a natural conception

Hello ladies As I approach my 12th week of pregnancy I thought I'd share what I did differently in hopes that it helps someone in a similar position. I have had 7 miscarriages previously and 5 of them ended between 4 - 5 weeks. Every time it was the same pattern. I had no issue conceiving but I kept

Reducing pred
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR 4 years ago and each time I reduce I get another flare up. I am trying to reduce to zero as advised by my GP. I started at 4mg down to 3 and a half after 2 weeks then down to 3mg. Now my aches and pains have got worse so I have gone back to 4mg again. ESR

How is everyone doing lately with their PBC? For some of us, the temps are cooler - maybe helping with less itching. Do you feel you are still living life as best you can despite any of the symptoms that may occur unexpectedly in your day? We all have PBC so differently, don't we? I hope you all try
