Hi all, just come over fron the PA board. I have Perncious Anemia and I've just had some private tests to see of there are any thryroid issues going on as well (Gp not helpful).

Welcome to TUK, Sunshine78.

TSH, FT4 and FT3 are euthyroid (normal). FT4 is low in range but FT3 is very good and it would be low FT3 which caused hypothyroid symptoms. Thyroid antibodies are negative for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's).

CRP is low which is good as it is an inflammation marker.

Ferritin is very low, 75-100 would be optimal. You could supplement iron with 1,000mg vitamin C which aids absorption and minimises constipation.

Folate is low in range. I would think it might be beneficial to supplement folic acid.

Thank you for your reply Clutter. Super helpful. Could low ferritin or folate be causing exhaustion? B12 obviously not the issue now! Thx

Low ferritin can make people exhausted. I've never had low folate so can't tell you anything about that.
