Low Calcium and B12
I am hypothyroid (3 years and adequately replaced on levo 125mcg). I have just got my latest blood test results back and although the GP hasn't contacted me I've looked at the results and think that treatment is required. I'm not sure if low calcium and low B12 are related but if I can understand

The Liver Function Test (LFT) If you've just undertaken your very first LFT, this brief note may help you to understand it a little better..
This test usually consists of up to six separate elements – the results of which will assist in diagnosis. However, the term "liver function test" is misleading, because it can measure possible hepatocellular damage (temporary or permanent), rather than liver function. The LFT should consist of all

Can I motivate for checking my own inr levels as well as anticoagulant clinic?
I was diagnosed with
ALS
about 15 years ago after 2 dvts a year apart. I have been on warfarin since and dose has increased over the years in order to remain in inr range 2.0 to 3.0. All the comments about low inr,high inr and feelings now make sense. I've just had a call to say inr 1.3 .

Fullness in head
A neurologist ruled out MS and
ALS
and concluded this is "most likely" Parkinson's Disease. I have experienced bizarre symptoms (as noted), in addition to others, episodically for about 3 decades. I would appreciate anyone sharing his experience germane to the above.

I need help with my blood test results
Hi, I've been suffering from low testosterone since 20. I'm 33 now and I had a lot tested by the endocrinologist. My testosterone came back within normal limits but it was in the lower range. I don't know how to interpret my estrodial levels because there is no range. I'm trying to get a six pack and

6 years ago I came down with a mystery illness. So far no doctors had been able to give me a diagnosis, could it be thyroid? More details..
I was just wondering whether if I posted a fairly detailed history of my case, symptoms and test results would you be able to offer any ideas about whether it might be thyroid or thyroid related? Or just any ideas at all really? (I was recommended to put this on here from someone within a Lupus group
