The GP has made it very clear that she will not do any more blood test related to thyroid and that she and the other doctors in the practise do not agree with the use of T3 as it is all nonsence!!!So I am definately looking for a NHS doctor /practise in the GL5 or GL6 postcode area,anybody know of a doctor? thanks for reading this.Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Are you taking any meds for thyroid? Can you tell us what you're taking and the amount? Your ferritin at 39 is very low. Women's ferritin levels should be about 110-120.....but certainly over 100. Even if this ferritin were elevated from inflammation in the system, it is still very, very low. Bisglycinate is the best form of iron to take. It absorbs easiest and ferritin levels seems to improve more quickly.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi Nicky I am relatively new here and noticed you suffered from psoriatic enthesitis - I have psoriatic arthritis and can empathise as I always seem to meet RA sufferers! I gave up with my GP who would not even listen about NDT and T3 so am self-medicating. With all the help on this brilliant site, we cant go wrong can we!! I feel better now being 4-5 weeks into NDT. Hopefully some-one can help you too. Regards Colleen hi, I managed to get the GP to do some Bloods only because the rheumatology consultant had askes for them to be checked in case the new drug i am taking for psoriatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi Collleen - just catching up with all my e-mails and read this. I wondered if you were aware of the link between psoriasis, arthritis and gluten. Gluten causes inflammation in the body. Many of my clients have improved so much after going gluten free. Here's a link to more information. I hope it helps. http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/psoriasis-and-gluten-sensitivity/ Jackie xOn Sun, Jun 12, 2011 at 2:35 PM, Colleen Maclaren <colleenmaclaren@...> wrote: Hi Nicky I am relatively new here and noticed you suffered from psoriatic enthesitis - I have psoriatic arthritis and can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi Jackie Thank you for thinking of me when you read the email - I have already started a gluten free diet after someone else advised it - only a few weeks into it but it is definitely worth a try! Fortunately there is much advice on this site that I wont have trouble finding things to eat!! Thanks again of thinking of me.
