White blood cell count or allergic responses affected by ADHD medication?
Interested in finding out if anyone else has experience of medication affecting their white blood cell count or food reactivity. I get pretty regular blood test at the moment as I am monitoring my thyroid, but it has also been interesting to see the other changes in my bloods that have occurred since

Could this be IBS-C or slow transit?
I'm 79 and suffered with constipation on and off for more than 10 years and got to the stage where I only have a movement by using bisacodyl, nothing else works for me, I take 3 every 5days, which clears me out I feel well, appetite is good and have not lost any weight. Had FIT and blood tests both

I have a question.
Does anyone's rheumatologist order a CRP HS blood test? I heard of CRP, but not this one. Is it solely for heart disease, or something to do with other diseases too like Lupus?? Mine was high.

Update on swollen eye, low potassium and low BP now hypothyroid issues.
Finally got an emergency blood test yesterday, results today, GP did not ask for potassium which my symptoms were an exact match to low levels! As expected with the high dose of steroids, results all over the place. Liver (Moorfields thought it was the steroids last week), kidneys now and thyroid TSH

ALP and GGT
I was drinking about 70 units a week in January, I am female and 57, my liver blood tests came back with high ALP, AST, ALT and GGT results. I immediately stopped drinking, lost 21kg and am now in normal BMI range and continuing with healthy eating and daily exercise. I had an ultrasound which showed

OrShould my husband Take Statins when test results only just out of range
My husband 73 yes old just had cardiovascular risk blood tests and has been asked to speak to practice nurse of pharmacist.I do think this is part of the drive to get everyone on statins. He really does not like taking medication and I would class him as fit.Not really overweight BMI 25.6 and only health

blood test coming up
I have an appointment with my private endo at the end of the month and was wondering whether I need to delay taking my T3 24 hrs prior to the test? I always leave my T4 before it but I have to split my T3 as it’s taken in 2 doses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Ferritin update
Hello. As I mentioned before I have a monthly blood test. This time I asked for details regarding my ferritin levels. At my previous test it was 144. I believe that's a good reading. Thanks

Fluid on Lung
Hi All, I started having a pain on my right side under the ribs, about 2 month ago.I was wondering if I'd got gallstones and the dull ache wouldn't go away! So a few week ago I popped into my A&E to have it checked out. They sent me to SDEC department, were they did blood tests, Ultra sound on my leg

I GAVE UP.
I will try and be short about my story. It is a snapshot of events whilst I was on Levothyroxine for more or less 25 yrs. I never felt well and was never referred to an endocrinologist. I gained weight, my hair thinned. I had problems not only with my voice, but swallowing food. I had brain fog, acute

GP reducing levo
GP wants to reduce levo, because my tsh was 0.008.I've increased my levo to 125 daily and still taking t3 5mcg in 3 doses. GP thinks I'm still on 75mcg.....I've sorted myself out using this forum and private blood tests and feel much better for it. My issue is, how do I explain this to my GP and would

BJM Investigation - Galleri promises to detect multiple cancers—but new evidence casts doubt on this much hyped blood test, 08/07/2024
Seems the potential conflicts-of-interests between private healthcare companies and government regulators are not limited to the US. The near-universal policy to follow-the-money seems to also hold true in the UK as well. From the BJM Report: * * * [i]Big promises have been made for the Galleri blood
