hashimotos and low iron

[Yogalab]

hi everyone, I’m new here and to hashimotos and was firstly wandering if any one has any general advice and secondly if anyone has had an iron infusion and if you would recommend it or not. Thank you 🙏 and also want to add that I’m so inspired and have so much repsect for everyone here who is going through this or own journey with challenges

Welcome aboard... fear not we all 'get it' here 🙃 do you have any recent results to share?

General advice would be....

Make sure you have a full thyroid panel showing fT3 and fT4 results, drawn before 9am, fasted, water only and 24 hours after last dose of levothyroxine

Always stick to the same brand, they do differ and some may not suit you, especially if you are lactose, mannitol or acacia intolerant

Important to optimize folate, Vit D, B12 and ferritin never mind Dr says 'normal' 🙄

We have a natter about heme iron.... healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Search on here is a bit limited but it will bring up lots of threads under 'iron infusion' 🤗

I am treated for hypothyroidism (I don’t know if it is hashi, tests were negative). Iron infusions keep me well! I’ve had three over the last three years. I have iron deficiency anaemia. I cannot tolerate iron tablets (digestive issues) which is why I was referred to NHS haematology by GP. When my iron goes low, it affects T4 & T3. See my profile for the long version 🙂
