Test results, a penny for your thoughts?
Hello everyone, just had my latest blood tests done. Just curious what you would say about them, if you have the time? A few months ago I went up by 12.5mcg in an attempt to bring my TSH down to around 1 where I generally feel better. My weight is a lot better these days, my heart rate has finally calmed

Diagnosis Issue
Hi All, I have been having issues with my periods since they began but the last 3 years have gotten much worse. Every period I have seems to be worse than the last. After a lot of back and forth with the GP and having tried the pill, mini pill and coil over the last 6 years, I persuaded them to refer

Looking at my M2 Antibody levels from the last 2 blood panels, it looks like I have PBC. My other levels, GGT and Alk Phos are within normal range. My doctor has prescribed Ursodiol for me to treat the PBC and the dosage seems high. I am to take a 500mg tablet in the morning and a 250mg tablet at

The Human Serum Metabolome of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency and Repletion, and Associations with Neurological Function in Elderly Adults
Just came across this paper from a few years ago. Thought it interesting as, so often, B12 seems to be though of as a one-trick pony - affecting erythropoiesis and nothing else. The occasional use of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine as additional tests. And that's your lot, folks. In my

My rheumy wants me off of prednisone as soon as possible
First of all, thanks to everyone who replied me, and gave me valuable advice on my previous post. This is an update.

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

Small steps on the journey back to NSR
OK, I'm probably going to sound hopelessly optimistic here, but yesterday evening I met my EP Cardiologist who was giving a talk and update on AF and it cheered me up immensely. We hadn't met, but the technician who fitted the monitor told me to "make myself known". So I did. For the first time since

omega 3 supplement
Good morning everyone. I saw my cardiologist yesterday as Iām having a new knee next week and for my own peace of mind had an echocardiogram which shows my heart is now as it was before AF and high blood pressure were found 3 years ago. She said this showed my blood pressure tablets and healthier lifestyle

Brief update on my lower Intestinal Tract Capsule Endoscopy.
Just to let you know that the procedure went fine. Although the camera was a little larger than an Omega 3 high strength capsule, I found that with the right mindset I swallowed it easily. The staff were a little disconcerted about my long term steroid use and the possibility of an adrenal crisis and

Vasepa (icosapent ethyl)
I have been prescribed Vasepa (icosapent ethyl) for several years now to lower my triglycerides and it has worked very well . I also know that it is a specific omega-3 fatty acid EPA and now I'm wondering what effect it may also have on my recently diagnosed fatty liver (S3) & (F3)?

ļ»æAlendronic Acid and Pred
ļ»æMy friend who's a long term sufferer of pmr (11 years) was down to 2.5mg but after a mishap had to back to 5mg. She had a review with a new young GP who told her that if she went back on Alendronic Acid, this would help her get off pred. Has anyone else been told this? Wouldn't we all be on it

Taking R lipoic acid
