Why still low Iron
Hi everyone, Firstly, I wanted to mention that I'm trying my best to remain resilient through this rollercoaster of hormonal fluctuations, but I must admit, I do falter at times. Today, I find myself confined to bed, feeling rather overwhelmed. However, knowing that there are others who can relate keeps

I have have been diagnosed with an under-active thyroid for about 20 years. As an ex-nurse it is my understanding that if it is broken it isn’t going to start working again! But my last blood results came back showing FREE T4 @ 52.8 normal-7.9 -16 serum THS 1.8 ( 0.3 -5.0) On 27/03/24 the results

Stage 4
I'm a 77 year old male and after bouncing around in Stage 3b for a couple of years I started to get much lower results of 30 or 33, then my latest is Stage 4 at 26 eGFR. All other renal profile serum results are normal and my urine tests for albumin/creatinine ratio are normal. I've cut out added sugar

allergy test
I have developed eczema to the extent that I now have an itchy rash on large areas of my body. This has happened over the last few days and I have decided I want to have an allergy test as seeking the answer by food elimination is not working. can anyone recommend a self test before I approach my GP

Banging my head against a brick wall
ferritin is only 8 still (5-204) HB is 124(115-160) I believe you can have iron deficiency without anaemia but GP, consultant , won’t have it. As said before, can’t tolerate any oral iron and because my HB is in range I’m not a candidate for ferritin infusion although have had one when ferritin was

NHS app
Hi all, I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I’m wondering if anybody knows if what appears as a consultation on the NHS app matches what is written on the system the GP’s use? To give some background I had an appointment about a mole like mark on my leg. GP sent me away with steroid cream as

Persistent trace/low level protein in urine
Hi all I've had persistent trace or low level amounts of protein in urine tests since April -checked on 5 occasions at hospital. Sometimes there is also trace amounts of blood or white cells too. Is this something to worry about or just part of the disease? I get cystitis a lot, but doesn't necessarily

Overcoming Anxiety and overthinking
In May 2024, I suffered from a viral fever that left me bedridden for a week. The following month, I had an exam for which I had been preparing for the previous six months. However, that one week of bed rest stressed me out about the exam's outcome since I couldn't follow my planned routine. After that

NDT-online
Hi everyone, Over the last 4 months, I've been taking Thyroid S, and it works better for me than T4 or T4 + T3. I am not in the UK, so I buy my medication online. Can you please share your experiences with Thyroid S and other brands of NDT? I know that Armour seems to be the best, but I'm not sure if

Phosphate binder, not so good
my boyfriend was diagnosed with kidney failure in August 2019 and since he got into Davita dialysis a month after, they prescribed him this pills 3X 3 times a day with every food to block the potassium since the kidneys supposedly weren’t working ok, he did so, and he never failed getting them, but,

What should FHS level be in post menopausal women?
Hi I am 61 years old and definitely post menopausal. I have just received a letter following my recent endo appointment and it states that oestrogen levels were negligible and fsh was 19. I just want to check if this is normal. I thought the fsh should have been much higher. Thank you so much

Changing time of meditation
Hi, is it possible that by changing the time of your dose of thyroxine from morning to night can affect the absorption giving you effectively a higher dose? I have taken 100mcg early morning 3-4 hours before food for a long long time. My T4 was slightly over range on last blood test in July but I changed

levothyroxine and metavive?
Hi - I just wondered if anyone takes levothyroxine and metavive together. I take levothyroxine for Hashimoto’s. It’s ok but I don’t convert from T4 to T3 that well - I wondered if a small dose of metavive in addition would help? I’m on a 100 of levo and was thinking of adding a very small dose of metavive

rls and gabapentin
I just started on gabapentin. 100 mg. Not planning on going up at all. Just sticking to 100 mg. It has helped me sleep a bit. Which is amazing. I have had heart palpitations before I started this medication. I think due to low ferritin. But what are some of everyone’s side effects ? I am afraid of this
