Blood Test Results
Received this test result. My GP says it will be because of AF and no need to refer for another echocardiogram as the one I had in December was an improvement on the one in September. Another blood test result was abnormal for Serum Ferritin levels. Has anyone else had experience of these? x

What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

Advice with Graves Disease
Hi All - I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in June 2023 and prescribed Carbimazole 20mg plus Propranolol 80mg Sustained Release. I have never actually met my endocrinologist owing to NHS strikes, so as a 60yo man I feel pretty alone with this condition as I don't know anyone else who has it. After

PSA going down, but ALP increasing
I'm 3 weeks into a clinical trial for ARV-766, an AR degrader. At 2 weeks, my PSA had dropped from 133 to 66! Bone pain is much less. All my liver numbers are fine, but alkaline phosphatase has gone from 199 when I started to 429 at two weeks and 519 at three weeks. Doc thinks may just be a surge, but

Dissecated liver for iron
Hello, I’ve had issues with my ferritin being low, even though I’ve been supplementing with iron for a while. Has anyone tried dissecated liver to get their iron levels up? If so, do you have one that you would recommend?

More gaslighting with obtaining T3 🙄
As some will know my T3 was stopped on Nov 9th by my gp due to the fact I'm waiting for an urgent referral to endo.. , I urged my gp to just supply me with a month's cover of T3 to be sure I have enough to tide me over, she told me that wouldn't be necessary as my appointment would come before I run

Hello, Thanks for everyone’s help with my questions already. I am in a thyroid group on Facebook and they have told me that if you are on levothyroxine medication for an under active thyroid then you should aim for your tsh to be as close to zero as possible, because the levothyroxine is meant to

7dp5dt (TW - PG test - sensitive)
I’ve just seen two lines (albeit faint) for the first time in my life on a pregnancy test. I say “A” pregnancy test but it’s actually been 3 pregnancy tests 😂 None are with first morning pee - basically my hubby is at the office today for the first time since the transfer & I lost my mind just after
