Ferritin success, anyone wishing to try the same ... especially if vegan
After years with ferritin scraping along bottom of the range it has at last risen, to nearly double and I thought others might like to know to see if the same works for you too. There are two things I have done (after prescribed ferrous fumarate did not resolve the problem), 1) I regularly take

My evaluation of which form of B12 is best.
The best form of B12 is not known. What is in fashion is different in different countries. Supply, what has been used before, difficulty storing, profit, etc. It is also the newest and that is often seen as better. Hydroxocobalamin is often touted as the best. The only justification is that blood tests

update pins n needles in both thumbs
hi , after blood test results, it appears I am low on folic acid, so Dr. Has given me prescription for 3 months worth of f/a pills. After which I am to have another blood test. I’ve checked symptoms of folic acid deficiency and it kinda ties in with how I’ve been feeling lately. (Bet I guess we can

Elevated enzymes from my blood test
I’m new here and was wondering if anyone had the same experience as me. When I was sick with flu like symptoms I had my bloodwork done. It came back with elevated liver enzymes. Then about 3 mos later another test done by my GI dr and still elevated. I have no symptoms and am in good health; just

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

advice please b12/folate
Hi, So a few years ago I had a b12/folate deficiency. I had easy bruising, unexplained weight loss, funny sensations just to make a few. In the end I was really unwell and had Macrocytosis so I was started on loading doses of b12 (followed by injections every 3 months and folic acid. My levels went

Can you do subcut injection without pinching up skin?
Hello everyone! Previously, I have performed IM self injections. This has largely been fine and unproblematic, but a painful incident on the most recent attempt made me want to seek alternatives. I'm sure SC injections might be nicer for me as the needle is smaller and a lot of people on this forum

cellulite in legs related to thyroid?
I have been exercising the same as always and eating clean, but have recently suffered from a cellulite appearance in my legs (when pressing on the skin or walking you can see it only). I am wondering if it is in fact celulite or water refention, and whether it is related to my Hashimoto’s disease.

Calquence and decreased hemoglobin
Hi Everyone! I have been on Calquence for just about a month and had my first labs yesterday. Neuts were normal. Platelets were steady at 120. My absolute WBC was 106,000 from 43,000, but that was to be expected. However, my hemoglobin was 10.3 from 11.2. I know it's just a slight decrease, but
