My calcium level appears low within bone profile blood tests. Are these an accurate representation I wonder?
Diagnosed with osteopenia after having Dexa scans in 2016 and 2023 and breaking wrist and arm in separate incidents of slipping on ice. My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another

Endo gave me private prescription
so, good news! The private Endo appointment went as I’d hoped and he was happy to let me try T3. I’m now trying to source it. I’ve had a no back from a couple of places on the list from Thyroid UK. Thing is, I just wanted to check as on the prescription it says triiodothyronine rather than liothyronine

Keep taking the tablets!
I've just been down to the G.P. for my freebie B12 jab. (s.i. at home weekly) I told her that I've been feeling really tired lately, like I did before my P.A. diagnosis, when I was very anemic. So she says, ah, go and buy some B12 tablets from the chemist, that will make you feel better! Cue the lecture

Hi, cortisol blood test advice please
I've finally got my appointment for a cortisol blood test(other blood tests but not sure what) in a couple of weeks. Should I be wary of taking supplements? still take levothyroxine at 6am(blood test 9am) no information given & I had to chase up🤦 so any information I'll be interested. Endo I believe

Feeling anxious hopeless desperate and overwhelmed, sad
I’m so down and anxious today really struggling. I can’t think of anything else but fertility and my struggling relationship. I am bleeding black gritty blood as a reminder. I had a negative test two days ago from a fresh transfer where we only got one embryo. . After the negative I drank wine and

Do you or someone you know have a diagnosis of Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-17?
If you or someone you know has a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-17 (SCAR17), you could take part in a new survey about starting a family. The charity Genetic Alliance UK, of which Ataxia UK is a member, are currently sharing a consultation survey

Low phosphate again
Hi everyone, I'll try and keep this as short as I can!So I keep having episodes of upper back & chest pain. Then get random feelings like my heart stops, then it beats super fast then slows again. This happens multiple times in a row which I then go to a&e to get checked out. Every time it comes back

Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

Looks Like My Cholesterol Is High, Yikes
I've spent the best part of the day at my local hospital today. I saw my GP as I'd been experiencing increasing shortness of breath over the last week or so and as I had pericarditis last summer I think they wanted to be sure it wasnt anything similar. So I got sent to the one stop shop aka SDEC, same

selenium- Brazil nuts
should I start eating a Brazil nut daily to increase selenium in an attempt to help my poor conversion issue (high t4, low t3 and high tsh)? Do you think it will help in anyway?

Help with understanding results and ranges please
Sorry, I know I’ve posted a similar question before, but these are my latest results and I can’t tell if they’ve improved or not. My ft4 is up, is this good? But my ft3 is less… not good? I find the optimal % confusing. For reference I’m not currently on any medication and I’m gluten and dairy free

Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite
