Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

Help please
I am on 1 mg of Levothyroxine and took my last tablet 24 hours before my blood test but my latest thyroid results were TSH 2 & FT4 23.7 The only time I feel well is when my TSH is lower than 1 and I explained to the nurse that for someone on Levothyroxine the TSH should be under 1 and I was experiencing

thyroid results
I have just received my recent thyroid results from a blood test 13 months ago it was 1.3 and now 2.6 have been taking 50 mg of Levothyroxine been on this dosage for the last 10 years. I asked my Gp if l needed to increase the dosage and he advised it’s still in the normal range.

levothyroxine
hi, I came on here for advice a while ago and discovered that I was taking too little levothyroxine and was advised to get gp to increase it, over a period of time in 3 monthly intervals, in increments of 25 I am now taking 75. The results of the blood test after adding the first 25 after 3 months showed

Neuropathy
I am experiencing neuropathy in feet and hands. I have Hashimotos and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2009 but my diabetes is controlled through diet and my blood tests have been within normal range for several years. I understand neuropathy can be a symptom of the hypothyroidism and wondered if

Cortisol test before or after Prednisolone
Been taking Prednisolone for 18months or so and am currently working my way down from 3mg to 2mg . So far apart from a couple of mini flea . I am doing OK. Recently went to see my GP to arrange the usually CRP and EST blood tests and she thought I should do a morning Cortisol test. I was however puzzled

Sorry it has been a while with an update on Ruxolitinib
The last time I wrote to you all was about 2/3 years ago when I started Ruxolitinib. The first 6 to 8 months I was a different person, I felt great. I started to swim, (200 lengths in 1.5 hours) then I started to get water infections, one after the other, chest infections, ear infections and shingles

Has anyone tried Inclisiran in place of Statins
My doctor is keen to reduce my cholesterol as it is 7.3 and I can't/wont take statins. I also have problems with palpitations so can't even raise my levo. I am a bit worried I am developing a heart condition too. I am just waiting for a blood test and xray before I go back to the doc who has suggested

Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been better… I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks I’d read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

Focal nodular hyperplasia
Hi all, I've been feeling unwell for months now. I've had blood tests, scans, and have been told I have an FNH that's about 5.7cm. I've been told this has nothing to do with my symptoms, but it's in the left lobe, and I swear I can feel it when I move around. Physical activity makes the pain worse,
