Ferritin follow up
Per recommendations of Sue, Jools and others I contacted my Dr to request a Ferritin test. Haven’t heard back yet but I found labs that were done in 2019. My ferritin level was 34 at that time. Does anyone know if ferritin levels improve on their on or should I assume it is still low until I can get

Pre transfer leg pain
Hi ladies, posing this question as I always find I get such helpful information. I am about to do my 6th embryo transfer Saturday and am worried about leg pain. I often get this when I do FETs and was always previously told it was the meds. I’m taking crinone twice a day, lucrin injections alternate

told to take 10mcg and 5mcg Liothyronine on alternate days but it isn't recommended!
I was seen at the Endocrine Clinic recently. The endocrinologist had requested bloods were taken the previous day by my GP, but I had taken all my thyroid medication (75 Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine ) at about 8am before the GP took my bloods but I did not realise at the time I should have withheld

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

Caution: regarding medical procedure to insert a gel to protect organs while undergoing radiation
I’m 73 and I recently had this procedure done and it seems to be working well. But a word of caution. I’ve had some severe back problems where 3 vertebra are pinching nerves for several years. Typically the pain is sporadic and only a 3-4 out of 10. I have in the past had a couple very painful bouts

How do I go about consulting a private endocrinologist, UK
Hello. I am recently returned to UK after living abroad. Happily the NHS has been quite supportive in terms of ongoing treatment of Hashimotos and Adrenal Insufficiency. I have been referred to an NHS consultant who has supported supply of the medications I have been on for years (T3/T4 and Hydrocortisone

Further advice needed from you lovely people.....Please
Some of you will remember my recent post about my private blood test results and a scan which showed I have a very small thyroid......... Test results shown above, all vits and mins were ok. On advice from some of you knowledagable people, I increased my Levo by 25mg and informed my Gp and endocrinologist

FasFasting before blood test
hi, following my last post, my gp has agreed to add B12, ferritin etc to my annual thyroid review. I've been told here to not take my usual morning dose before the test;however, looking online most medical websites say its not necessary to fast. Anyone care to clarify for me please. thanks

Urgent help with results please
I posted last week about feeling terrible on T3. Exhausted and aching all over. I’ve just had my second lot of results back. The top pic are the most recent ones and the one before that were the results when I’d started on a lower dose of T3. I’ve now dropped my levo from 175 to 150 and taking 10mcg

T3 friendly endo list
Hi, after 20 years on T4 only with below par physical health, and recently diving mental health , my eyes got opened to the thyroid madness, and now I want to try T3. Is there a list of T3 friendly endos in UK, preferably Kent? Is this maintained anywhere? thank you.

Once again… flare or no flare?
Hello wonderful people. In March/April I posted saying that I wasn’t sure I was flaring and I’m back to the same question again. I have developed aches in my upper/under arms (bilateral) that are slowly and steadily getting worse. Last time I experienced this - and after consulting you lovely lot

Hello. Has anyone experienced any side effects with Cholestyramine? Been told its a 14 month wait to see the gastroenterologist and doctors have done basic tests which came back negative except the calprotectin test which was raised. I have asked to try cholestyramine. Many thanks

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered

Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

Low phosphate levels linked to hypothyroidism?
Hi all, I am under close monitoring for my kidneys by a renal consultant. I had severe acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis last year and am very slowly improving. At my recent six monthly blood test, my phosphate levels had dropped and they are now below range. The trend for this has been dropping
