think I’ve found my trigger.
My ferritin level came back at 64 so would find it difficult to get an
iron
infusion but will continue with supplements.

follow up to previous post. Help please.
GP said he had done FT3/FT4 but he hadn’t so we requested GP to do FT3/FT4 which is below and full
iron
panel. Taken 15/1/24. she takes 175mcg Levo liquid daily. Done tests early morning empty stomach. Over the years I’ve noticed the TSH has improved and this is the lowest it’s ever been.

serum iron
I have just had a letter, my serum
iron
was 12 there is no mention of anything else. The registrar has written “ Low
iron
can make restless legs worse and therefore I would be grateful if you could investigate and treat this as you feel appropriate “.

T4 14.8 TSH 3.41
T4 14.8 (10.5-24.5) TSH 3.41 (10.27 - 4.2) Ferritin 75 (30-400) I’d been taking
iron
supplements for a month before test so it may have been lower previous months B12 1006 - it’s high as I take supplement of B complex, which I didn’t realise can effect thyroid test results though I believe it usually

Right dose of Besremi
Additionally, I have a question regarding fatigue: When experiencing normal blood counts and
iron
levels, how can I ascertain if my fatigue is due to PV or it is from another cause, such as lack of exercise or something else ?

Can anyone advise me on how to get a Full Iron Panel blood test in the UK?
I have been online but the results are confusing. I am happy to pay for the test.

Went to the Doctors.
I went to the doctors and they agreed it's postural hypotension and it's making my blood pressure go low when I'm standing up they aren't sure what's causing this but think it could be my heart medication and they want to check my
iron
levels to make sure it's not that making me feel dizzy, light headed

Any thoughts on my friend's thyroid results, please?
D: 48% through range (could be a bit better)), although various
iron
markers are a bit low.

Advice please
When I first started my periods I was having very heavy periods that was lowering my
iron
causing me to have anemia. I was a very conscious school girl who was paranoid she smelt of blood and was going to leak any second.

Medichecks bloods with some very low/high bloods. Appt with GP 4th March to discuss.
Putting this up here as we have an appointment with the GP to discuss these results and I want to push perhaps to 112.5 or 125 mcg Levo, Vitamin D,
Iron
etc. Helen is classed as vulnerable to Covid and is also taking OTC Zinc and Selenium.

I’m unsure if I have a b12 deficiency?
as I am on them right now as my
iron
serum come back low which is due to my heavy periods. I was so convinced as I had all the symptoms like last time.

Confirming blood tests needed to diagnose hyperthyroid (asking for my sister-in-law)
She's not on any Thyroid meds, but I will advise that she should stop any multi-vitamins a week before and any other vit/supp she might take that include B complex, biotin, or
iron
. Anything you'd change, or anything different if it's hyper we suspect vs hypo? Thanks as always!

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
I supplement with B12, D, folate,
iron
. So TSH looks too suppressed. Should I lower NDT to 1,5 grains? Should I aim to see my TSH at 0.4 and not lower than that? My BP, temperature and pulse have been fine. But I have been feeling nauseous and weird.

Finally somebody that listens AND understands !!!
After reading something on here I contacted an
iron
clinic in Cambridge, and spoke to Dr K, not sure if I can use names etc in here. What followed was a few emails and a consultation a couple of days ago.
