Ayrshirelass13, If I were you I'd ask to see your thyroid results and the ranges (figures in brackets after results).

Folate 17 is good, but B12 358 is low. You might want to supplement methylcobalamin in between injections.

Your ferritin is critically low. Is there a possibility that you have a problem with absorption in your gut eg Coeliac? I couldn't get ferritin levels up despite taking high doses of iron - eventually I was tested for Coeliac. Low vitamins is a symptom
