Latest blood test advice please I moved to 75mcg after taking bloods but now I’m not sure it’s a good idea.
Hi all I’ve been on 50mcg Levothyroxine now for around 7 weeks ish and I tested Monday privately. I increased my dose to 75mcg thinking I needed it but my TSH has come back as 1.35 which was a bit of a shock I was still expecting it to be in the 3’s. My T4 looks to be at around 50% while my T3 is around

Am I going mad?
Hi! I've had so much helpful information from this forum and made copious notes over the last few weeks, I was determined I could get by without asking for help, but no. I'm so upset, after what I've decided is my last visit to the GP as I'm fed up of being fobbed off and coming out like a gibbering

Duloxetine with low dose of tramadol?
Hi all I’m hoping to switch from Amitriptyline (which is no longer working for me) to Duloxetine very soon. I also take cocodamol here and there and it really helps but I have to stop it ideally because of mast cell issues (a whole other story). Tramadol would be a suitable switch but I’ve read it

Naproxen
Hi all, just wanted to ask if anyone has had similar experience of taking NSAIDs?In 2019 I had endoscopy as I was experiencing stomach pain and afterwards I was told to avoid NSAIDs. I take pregablin 300mg x 2 daily and cocodamol if I have to. I recently asked gp for naproxen to try it for month for

Bloods taken
I went for my bloods taken today. I had asked for vitamins checked TSH , Free T 3 and 4. I was told that the T3 and T4 had not been asked for and I said I’d even written to the dr asking for those to be added. Vit D also wasn’t asked for even though I’d asked for that too. She agreed to do tge Ft3&4

Subclinical hypothyroid and PCOS
Asking on behalf of my 20yo daughter. She recently had a battery of blood tests via an endocrinologist, triggered as a result of massive fatigue, hair thinning, dry skin and very rapid weight gain (20kg in a year even when eating fairly healthily). She was diagnosed with PCOS and her TSH is highish

Disappointed
I have just returned from a GP appointment to discuss my B12 deficiency and acute gastritis. I waited 7 weeks for this appointment but it’s been of absolutely no help and I feel so crushed. I have Hashimotos, vitiligo and lichen planus and 3 years ago I had major bowel surgery resulting in the removal

Help with results
I feel not quite right (which could be the menopause). I have auto immune thyroid disease and am on levo 125 x 6 days, 1 day 100. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and gradually increased my dose to the level it is on today. I take a B complex tablet, 25mg vitamin D and 25mg K2 daily. I'm wondering

Experience of Natural Cycle IVF with irregular periods
My periods have not returned to normal following my second round of cancelled IVF due to poor response. Previous cycles were a regular 28 days give or take, they seem to have gone off the rails following the IVF. Not sure if it’s an effect of medication, stress… or menopause as keeps being suggested

B12 loading doses and stomach pain; also 10mg melatonin OK to take on loading doses?
Hello, My daughter's had her first of 6 EOD loading doses, next one tomorrow. First was last Friday. My current line of thinking is that she has inherited a degree of autism from her dad, but also has b12 d, possibly PA (neg IFAB). She's complained since the first dose of stomach pain (gluten free

Normal amount of eggs retrieved per age?
Are there any statistics anyone has on what is a low, normal and good amount of eggs to be retrieved from an egg retrieval at each age? I know it is about quality as well as numbers but can't tell quality at this point. I am 37 and have just finished 3 rounds of egg freezing. Each cycle we retrieved

High Prolactin Result
Results for Free T4 been in the region of 11 and updated THS is 3.2 mu/L. I asked the doctor whether low T4 could suggest pituitary issue and was told indefinitely no. Menopause was blamed for all the symptoms I’ve been getting and told to basically get on with it. Did my own Prolactin test as I

Warfarin - Arterial Calcification

Vitamin blood test
Hi I need to retest my Vitamins and Ferritin and Folate, Doctors will only test Vitamin D as they say the others were fine when they were tested earlier in the year. I was wondering who to use for this as there are so many options available. Cheers

frustrated with gp re pain meds.
Ever since I had my stroke in 2018, I’ve not been allowed nsaids, due to the increased risk of further strokes. My then gp prescribed butec patches, which in the 5.5yrs have only been increased twice to the current 15mcg. I was given Tramadol for breakthrough pain which I don’t take too often. A box
