Anyone else with Jak2 PV have difficulty walking and leg pain?
I'm new here and really happy I found this forum. I've been diagonsed with Jak2 positive PV a year ago, after feeling unwell for a couple of years, and after my blood tests have been abnormal for quite a while. For the past year, I've been on aspirin and Phlebotomies, which have kept my Hematocrit under

Hypothyroid for 18 years. Discovered high cholesterol recently. Can I start using plant sterols alongside Thyroxine??
Also have tried increasing thyroxine (temporarily) for 3 months, to see if cholesterol results come down. They have come down from 8.9 to 7.5 in that 3 months. Not low enough I know, but it has reduced it. Trying my best not to be put on statins if I possibly can, or BP meds. Has anyone tried Plant

Hi all, I wonder if anyone on the forum is taking both Thyroxine and Alendronic Acid (AA)? I am taking a cocktail of drugs, as so many of us are, but have put off taking AA since diagnosed with PMR in 2022 - cannot believe where those 2 years went... I've been on Thyroxine (150 mcg/daily) for nigh

Suppressed tsh 0.03 on Liothyronine, is this as much of a worry as consultant says please?
Bit of a long story sorry but I just need a moan with others who undestand. I restarted Liothyronine Jan 23 on nhs but my consultant will not endorse any increase whatsoever. I am just so tired most days it hurts, can't shift my weight unless I starve and unfortunately I don't sleep well so that doesn't

Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

Gluten or dairy free?
Hi everyone. I have posted previously about raised antibodies (Anti-TG 347 range <115, and Anti-TPO 53.6 range <34) Now having got my head around this, I can considering a gluten free diet to try to reduce the inflammation. My thyroid appears to be working normally - most recent results with a 9am

Iron infusion
I had an iron infusion. Finished it last week. My ferritin was 44 prior to infusion. I have to have a blood test to see if it went up. Just curious how long before you feel better. I still feel the same, very tired. Came off mirapex a month ago and waiting for my dr. to give me a new medication.

Thoughts on test results
This is my first post. I’ve been avidly reading back through past information and found it very empowering - I’ve been inspired to take control of my health. I’ve just had results back from a Medichecks thyroid panel and would appreciate your thoughts. Full information about my history and symptoms
