i have tagged  SlowDragon for you , so she will be alerted to your question.

to see private messages look at top of page for: My Feed My Hub Chat Alert

Click on 'Chat' (paper aeroplane )

Assuming slowdragon sent the pm to purplecat4321, it will be in there .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To 'tag' a member so they know you mentioned them , you must type an @ immediately before their name (don't leave a space) ..... then type their name and when you get to the last letter , a list of names will come up below ... click on the name you want ...., and when you post the reply , their name will have gone blue ,and they will get an 'alert' (bell)

hope that helps a bit

[tattybogle in reply to Purplecat4321]

me neither, when i first came i got properly lost .. you're not the only one , don't worry about it , it gets easier xx

I tried to do what you said but nothing happened. I had to change my password too as the forum wasn’t letting me in and I don’t know why that happened either.

The new version of private messages is difficult to use since the IT department changed it 2-3 months ago

I was only using private messages as you were on someone else’s post

Now you have written a new post I will reply on here

[Purplecat4321 in reply to SlowDragon]

tattybogle said this is somebody else’s I don’t understand will you tell my husband what to do. It is his iPad and I want to still be in the forum. I feel very worried about haematology.the drs keep asking me if I drink but I don’t 1 read your link from Cleveland clinic and it said it is a type of anaemia caused by drinking not eating of hypothyroidism” please tell me what to do with writing a new post so it is not somebody else’s. Thanks

your blood levels are abnormal BECAUSE you are hypothyroid

As dose levothyroxine is increased and you improve vitamin levels by supplementing blood levels will return to normal

Anxiety is extremely common hypothyroid symptom.

[Purplecat4321 in reply to SlowDragon]

Thanks SlowDragon for allaying my fears. I looked up in the link you gave me and that is what it said. I am finding all this really difficult because of my autism and adhd.The doctor did the thyroid testing like you said do but he didn’t say anything about B12 injections and me and my husband couldn’t understand him with his accent and a mask on. Thanks again

Try the vitamin B12 drops

Only start one vitamin supplement at a time

Wait at least 10 days before adding another

Have you started taking magnesium supplement?

[SlowDragon Administrator]

you obviously need to increase the dose levothyroxine

HOWEVER

very common to need to increase dose levothyroxine EXTREMELY slowly when been left very under medicated far too long 

Suggest you cut the extra 25mcg levothyroxine tablet in 1/4’s using sharp craft scalpel 

just add 1/4 tablet to you 25mcg tablet 

Save spare 1/4’s carefully 

Stay on just 25mcg plus 1/4 tablet for 4-6 weeks 

Then increase to 25mcg plus a 1/2 tablet for 4-6 weeks

 Then 3/4 tablet 

Meanwhile you need to start working on improving terrible vitamin levels

Previous posts as Meerkat1234

healthunlocked.com/user/Mee...

2 months ago

Serum Ferritin 99.6ug/L (11.00-307.00)

Serum B12 220 ng/L (145-914)

Vitamin D is 32 nmol/L (75nmol- 150nmol)

Vitamin D deficient

B12 far too low.

Presumably GP not restarted B12 injections ?

Have you managed to buy the B12 drops and start taking them

Initially perhaps only 2-3 drops and slowly increase to full daily dose

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

About 2 weeks after getting on to full dose B12 start adding vitamin B complex

Suggest you try Igennus vitamin B complex as you can cut with knife into 1/4’s and start with just 1/4 tablet. Slowly build up to full tablet

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Vitamin D and magnesium

Did you manage to start adding magnesium supplement in evening?

[Purplecat4321]
