On iron supplements but my ferritin did not increase
I started having a lot of symptoms of iron deficiency last year after correcting my long term B12 deficiency: dry mouth, palpitations, muscle twitches. It is possible that my iron had been low for a long time and I just didn't notice because my B12 had also been low. I started taking iron supplements

Advice on test results please
Hello there I would be glad if some advice on my latest test results please: CRP HS X 6.23 mg/L (0 - 5) - this is high, but I came down with a temperature and sore throat the following day, so I'm guessing it's probably due to fighting illness rather than autoimmunity. Ferritin 94.9 ug/L (13 - 150)

Help understanding coeliac test results
Recent results of testing for coeliac. Doctor says 'no further action'. Tissue transglutaminase IgA level 0.3 U/mL [0.0 - 10.9] Immunoglobulin A level 2.06 g/L [0.8 - 4.0]
Should I be concerned that the first result is very low in the range?

Iron Test Results
Could I please share my results, I struggle sometimes to follow what I should be looking for. I had a full fasting iron panel test that had to be repeated because my transferrin saturation was below range at 15% (suggested range was 20.0 - 40.0)., therefore, I am wondering if 40mg Solgar Gentle

Coordinating pill times help please
Need some guidance please on the best timings for thyroxine and vitamins. I’ve just received my first pack of thyroxine and not decided on when to take them yet. I feel night time might be better as I’ll have the day free to take everything else. Although I’m leaning towards the morning as I wake up

Vitamin results are in, advice please.
I finally managed to get a Ferritin test from GP after latest Medichecks showed it had gone down despite taking 20mg of Solgar Gentle Iron. Well, the NHS one shows it’s gone up to 31 from 24 which is amazing really as I haven’t been taking any iron for two weeks!!! So I’m getting no help from them.

Pain medications?
Is it difficult in the UK to obtain prescription pain medication? Here in the U.S. doctors send you to a Pain Management doctor upon which you are given a very minimal amount (if any). They first evaluate you and make their own conclusions as to whether THEY feel you need it. God forbid you are having

To take or not to take?
I was diagnosed with PMR and GCA in 2018 and have only managed to get to 5mgs of Preds without a flare. I have not seen the Rheumatologist for 18 months. When I last saw him he said I had to continue on Disprin 75 mg or I would have a stroke. My GP thinks I should stop them . Some time ago I went to

RLS with pain
I have suffered with RLS most of my adult life. It was in our family long before it had a medical diagnosis or a name. Our name got it was “ nervous legs”. My mother had it, I had it and now my two sisters have it. Occasionally my son and daughter also have it. It sounds genetic but actually it is not
