I have a letter from my specialist and dont understand it, just wondered if any body can shed some light on it please.

[jazher]

I have a appointment on moday but its doing my head in. I know none of you are doctors but i am hoping someone else will know something.

This is my letter.

This patients serum immunoglobulins and complement were normal.

Adjusted calcium was on the low side. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies were positive and she is significantly deficient in vitamin d with a level of only 15. I would recommend that she go on vitamin d supplementation as per your local guidelines.

She is also positive for gastric parietal cell antibodies (often present with tpo antibodies).

She may be at risk at developing vitamin b12deficiancy.

I have underactive thyroid along with fibro, cfs/me and hypermobility syndrome and asthma.

I understand if nobody knows what all this is, i just thought i would ask as monday is far away for me lol.

thanks for reading kel xxx

Hi jazer I`m not an exsepert by any means but the bit about gastro parietel antibodies,very much reminds me of when I was told after blood test that I had an ulcer due to pilori bacti and was put on an enourmouse dose of antibiotics

for a week.Hard going but it did the trick.

Are you having stomach problems you dont say

Hugs Butterfly:_)

[jazher in reply to Butterfly54]

Hi butterfly,

I have acid reflux quite alot but just thought it was part and parcel of fibro.

Ifeel sick quite abit too.

I do actually have flares quite often where i have a horrible deep sickly heavy pain in my stomach, but i thought this was my ribs playing up, maybe it was actually my stomach.

Also lol (you set me thinking now) I cant eat a big meal nomore as it hurts my stomach, does this sound familiar or is it just fibro?

thankyou

Thankyou chris,

What sort of tablets do you take for the low calcium? is it just a suppliment?

I have problems for years and nobody else has picked any of this up with all the bloods i have in the past.

Thankyou again.
