Silent Reflux and B12 Deficiency- Any Link?
Hello! I was diagnosed with low B12 following a blood test in December last year, on injections but only had 3 of the 6 loading doses then was moved on to one every three months due to severe side effects that worried my GP. Had my first of the 3 monthly ones a few weeks ago and all went well. I saw

hypothyroid
Hi all, New here and need some advice So, I first went on levothyroxine (50mg) back in April after running the London marathon. Fast forward 6 weeks to my initial blood test to see if the TSH had resolved itself, it was 0.3. Since then I’ve been feeling ridiculously fatigued and so unwell. So I

Running low on iron
I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate but I can’t use it. My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me. Anyhow

The result was 4.2 U/ML , and a result >4 is positive.I have none of the usual symptoms of celiac disease

Is thyroid causing my symptoms?
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice about my blood test results and whether thyroid issues could be the cause of my symptoms. Also if anyone can recommend a doctor in Cardiff / South Wales I’d really appreciate it. I’ve spent years trying to manage and believing (being told) my symptoms are due to anxiety

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

Update on FIL -Venetoclax as a Monotherapy, Pancytopenia and Myelodysplasia
Hi everyone I have been meaning to post an update for months but things have been changing so rapidly, every day would have been a different story. So we did get to see a specialist who did a BM biopsy and recommended Venetoclax as a Monotherapy as his BM was 50% CLL. We were told it wasn't chemo

Wow the GP experience is real…
I was recently privately diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto’s by a (NHS) endocrinologist with autoimmune Hashimoto’s. I was diagnosed via bloods and a scan, and there is a significant family history of Hashimoto’s. There was also a record of increasing TSH etc due to employer health checks. I think

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

My Estimated GFR - eGFR
Some of you may recall when I was on diuretics (Furosemide) last year in an attempt to reduce the lymphatic fluid discharge from the macerated wounds on my foot (a result of "that we must not mention" Toe) my eGFR plummeted from 69% to 35% (distinctly worrying). A few months after they were stopped

Should I take a higher dose of levothyroxine?
I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism in September last year, from a routine blood test, doctor called and said she had sent over a prescription to the chemist but did not ask me if I had any symptoms at all. I took the tablets but they were then upped to 50mcg in the new year, both times

Superficial peroneal nerve pain in ankle
Just found this group for chronic pain, wondered if anyone has suffered with chronic ankle pain.I broke my ankle 13 years ago and always had pain after, had plate and 10 screws taken out then an arthroscopy to take scar tissue out. Still in pain. Was eventually told it was nerve damage and too late

Clopidogrel
Has anyone else been prescribed Clopidogrel for more than a year after having stents fitted? Everything I've seen suggests it is prescribed for a year, but I'm still on it nearly 3 years later. Even the doctor who gave me blood test results said he couldn't see any purpose in this but said I should

Finally treatment!! Central hypothyroidism recognition
Finally, after all these years of missed opportunities to diagnose thyroid dysfunction I have been prescribed Levothyroxine for the first time. I walked away from the GP appointment with a sense of disbelief. It's been a battle (as it surely has for many others on this forum). My GP has prescribed despite

How to get an accurate T3 reading with bloods?
Ive asked a similar question before, regarding blood testing for T4/T3 and realised for years I was having a blood sample done a few hours after I had taken my Levo upon waking up. People on here then said to have the bloods done that morning before taking T4, to get a more accurate reading. Since then

Blood tests a worry
Hi everyone, l was diagnosed with PAF several months ago, l was immediately put on Apixoban and given Flecainide as a PIP. In May my Afiibs increased from 2-3 a month to 2-3 a week. Flecainide was increased to 100mg a day, and then 200mg a day. I still have breakthroughs but my biggest concern is the
