Peg interferon
I don't take any
iron
supplements but have been drinking Actimel,now know it's crap and won't do that anymore. So I guess that is a factor. Now she wants me take 135mcg of peg interferon from the next 3 wks to see if things improve. Has anyone taken that much.

End of my patience really unsure what to do feel completely alone and like nobody is listening Consultant confusing me what is wrong with me
I’m exhausted but been back to gp in between for bloods and apparently my
iron
is fine. She says she forgot to refer me for mri and says she will do it now and no point as fully expects to find endometriosis when she opens me up for hysterectomy.

Hashimoto
Over the last some years I found out a lot about related illness that I have like high cholesterol, teeth problems, on and off
iron
deficiency etc. Doctors are usually ignorant when I point out the relationship to Hashimoto and therefore I feel very much alone with my thoughts.

If I increase armour I get hypo due to cortisol and
iron
issues. Do you think if I go from 75mcg to 100mcg of t4 tirosint this may lift my t4 up more? just to add my armour is going out of date this month and tirosint went out of date last month. Not sure if this makes a difference too much?

Drops or spray iron/ferritin recommendations
Though I am now a 3 portions of black pudding a week sort who has really struggled over the last 5 years to get ferritin blood levels at 70. I have tried various supplements like ferrous fumarate pills on alternate days but they are too aggressive for me actually making me sick at times, so thought I

Intestinal upset (diarrhea, tiredness, slight nausea) from ferrous sulfate?
Could my problem be due to
iron
sulfate? Is so, why now after taking it for years? If its the
iron
sulfate why are there days where I feel fine? Also, I'm wondering if anyone else has have a similar adverse effect from
iron
sulfate? How bad and what were your symptoms? How long did they last?

Understanding jump in platelet levels
After some quick research I see that ‘infection’ and low
iron
are also common reasons for platelets to rise. I have now arranged to go in for another blood test next week to include an
iron
profile (it was 4.4 in Feb) and to check for inflammatory markers

So many questions ??
Should I have stopped Omeprazole and started
iron
at the same time or was that too much to expect of my poor stomach? Given my results, is 20mg of Gentle
Iron
enough and if so, should I take 40mg alternate nights? Is there anything that can lessen the impact on my stomach?

First time taking hydrea
I also have low
iron
and need

New thyroid and iron panel results - trying to conceive
I'm presuming a big thing will be improving my
iron
levels which brings me to... My
iron
panel results - I can see that my
iron
has gone up (in Nov was 12.9 - 5.8-34.5) but but my ferritin has gone down, and it was only 22.2 (13-150) last time. My folate has also gone down but not by as much.
