Experiences with

Barium test

Hi APS friends- 2 years ago I underwent a partial nephrectomy to remove a large (2 inch in diameter) tumor in my kidney. Pathology showed that I have/had clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Throughout my life small tumors have been found in different places in my body, but all benign. I was

After PM in with a very helpful Forumite, she has given me the idea of splitting my dose. One part in the morning and one part later in the day. I think this is worth pursuing for two reasons. 1.) My night time heart racing is a blooming nuisance if nothing else. 2.) I am getting the sense that my

....and feeling pathetic at the hospital. Thank you for all your replies. On to my next question - Prior to the synacthen test I got down to 5mg pred but the last 3 weeks I had been feeling as though 5mg wasn't enough. I'd had several bouts of S&D, also fatigued by the heat..I thought it may have been

Can I take my prednisolone and levothyroxine together or better one hour apart ?

Hi all - body is still really giving up on me after contracting Covid in May and struggling to put it all right. I’ve had pernicious anaemia for many, many years but never experienced anything like this. My B12 definitely isn’t working properly and neither is my stomach! First came the tanking ferritin

Im now on 100 levo and 40 T3 and still tired. Next appointment September.

I had my endo consult yesterday, phone consultation, and was literally on the phone for just over...... 8mins! Felt like he couldn't get off the phone quick enough. I was surprised tbh as he is normally really good and this is the first phone consult I've had with him as he's normally f2f. I asked about

I am reducing my dose to 75mg as per previous post (TSH 0.035 0.27-4.2T4 21.5 12-22 and T3 4.4. 3.1-6.8) I was wondering about my supplements and what I could take to help. I have restarted my Vit D300+K2 spray. Inflammation CRP 3.07 <3 Ferritin 230 30-332 Folate

I am struggling to access lactose free Levothyroxine at my GP surgery’s pharmacy and have read that Tirosint has fewer excipients than most brands of T4 and wondered if anyone could advise me the best way forward for accessing this brand/or other similar brands? Many thanks.

can anyone tell me where I can order a test kit for venous blood draw for thyroid B12 Active folate ferritin . My surgery will do the blood draw so won’t cost me anything that way . I used to use Medichecks but they don’t include folate anymore. many thanks

Hi again, I haven't posted for a while hope your're all coping. I'm having a bit of a meltdown it happens now and again, most of the time I try not to dwell on it and stay positive about the extensive Intestinal Metaplasia, raging Gastrin levels and everything else that is Pernicious anemia and my last

hello forum friends. I went to my gp last week and requested a referral for an iron infusion. I said I’d pay for a private haematology initial consultation if necessary. he’s referred me via nhs but I had to have up to date iron tests.. My ferritin mid June was 32. I had been taking three arrows

My last results for T4 & T3 are above - I'm wondering if I could benefit from a small thyroxine increase... currently on 150mcg T4 and 12.5mcg T3 daily. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and struggling with low energy. Want to be in tip top condition for the birth as I had a long one last time and I believe my levels

For a number of reasons and with agreement of my endocrinologist, I reduced my liothyronine from 15mcg a day to 10mcg. I also take 100mcg Levo daily. I’ve been on the reduced dose over 4 weeks.
