I'm a bit confused. Are these new tests to the ones you posted 6 days ago?

The ferritin results are quite different.

[Happyxx in reply to Jaydee1507]

These are new ones 🤗 had bloods done yesterday x

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Happyxx]

The CRP is fine, it's not above the range, so yes is normal, no inflammation.

Ferritin is better in this test.

Ferritin much improved

Has GP now prescribed loading dose vitamin D

300,000iu in total over 6-8 weeks

Have you had folate and B12 levels tested yet

You need to test TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 plus thyroid antibodies after improving low vitamin D

[Happyxx in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes think be said has prescribed 25000 one tablet a week for 6 weeks.Do you know if crp looks ok does that indicate inflammation he said tsh level fine no further testing so may save for private test.

Also once start loading dose vitiam D are these ok with iron tablets x thank you

As an inflammation marker, the lower the better. Yours is low in range and doesn't show any problem with inflammation .

Also once start loading dose vitiam D are these ok with iron tablets x thank you

You can't take them at the same time. Iron must be 2 hours away from Vit D .

Also do you know different between one blood test said 45 ugl ferritin this one said 97 Ng/ml? Xx

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Happyxx]

Nanogram / Millilitre (ng/ml) is the same as Microgram / Litre (ug/L).

1ng/ml = 1 ug/L

It looks like your two tests were done by different labs and have different ranges, is that right?

97.02 range 20-200

45 ugl range ( 40-120)

There always seems to be disparity with ferritin results when tested with different labs. My Medichecks result for ferritin is always much higher than when tested with my GP

[Happyxx]

Yes recent ferritin was private test doctors was 45 ugl. Really hoping the vitamin D helps fingers crossed just constantly tired keep getting little rash on cheeks and nose tends to be in the morning good if inflammation looks okThank you x 🙂

Rash could be autoimmune thyroid disease ….butterfly rash

Get B12 and folate levels tested

And when finished Vitamin D prescription get thyroid levels retested including thyroid antibodies. Always test thyroid levels early morning, ideally just before 9am

Test vitamin D levels when prescription ends to see where vitamin D has increased to

You will need ongoing daily maintenance dose vitamin D

Aiming for vitamin D at least over 80nmol and between 100-125nmol might be better

Test twice yearly via NHS private testing service when supplementing

Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is very effective as it avoids poor gut function.

There’s a version made that also contains vitamin K2 Mk7. 

One spray = 1000iu

Another member recommended this one recently

It’s trial and error what dose we need, with thyroid issues we frequently need higher dose than average
