Son tested positive for gastric parietal cell antibodies
My son has history with h pylori, which he was treated for, but the symptoms haven't gone away completely. Last week I was talking about my own b12 deficiency and he informed me he has the same symptoms. I know he has been more tried than normal, but I put it due to the h pylori, after effects. As that

My levels
Hi I've been taking Levothyroxine for about 10 years. I had blood tests recently and my TSH was 5.78 and T4 was normal at 13. I really don't like taking Levothyroxine. Is there any case that I can stop taking Levothyroxine? Am I subclinical? Many thanks Mika

introduction
Hi fellow hearties Just to introduce myself and to say how much I have found this forum very informative over past few months. Sadly I just need to grumble today - no response required as I know so many have far worse to contend with. My story is similar to so many, female who had my symptoms

Hello 💐 I m new here. My platelet count 1080 down from 1140 (3 month ago).
I am trying to find out as much as I can. Had to have a blood test in January due to 3 months of very heavy peri/post menopausal bleeding. My iron was low and platelets at 1140, everything else normal. I was given a prescription for iron tablets and my blood test last week showed iron now normal but

Please suggest "must read" articles for men diagnosed with an advanced stage of prostate cancer
If your prostate cancer knowledge seeking includes reading peer-reviewed articles, please suggest "must read" articles for men diagnosed with an advanced stage of prostate cancer and perhaps for their family members, too.

PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

So the ongoing itching has driven me crazy, and took matters into my own hands as fed up of GP, Consultants and Cardio Teams all saying talk to someone else. I demanded blood tests to check if underlying condition maybe causing the itching ( even though still 90% convinced it's meds- Dapagliflozin is

chronic rectal bleeding, colonoscopy normal
I have been dealing with chronic rectal bleeding for at least 8 months, if not more. Been blown off by doctors. My family doctor finally sent me to a general surgeon who ordered a colonoscopy. Was instantly not a fan of him. My consultation was literally a minute long. He was very arrogant, and didn’

Anyone had 2 blood tests with different labs to compare results?
Has anyone ever been unsure of their results and taken two tests around the same time eg. NHS and a private company ie. Blue Horizon to compare their results to see if there is much in the way of a difference in levels for accuracy purposes? The reason I ask is via my GP/NHS it's never guaranteed that

Daily back pain
I have had daily middle / upper back pain for 2 and a half years. I have pernicious anaemia too. G.p. thinks my pain is muscular. I've seen several physiotherapists. The current one thinks my pain is muscular caused by poor posture. I think she's probably right. I think it's been exacerbated by my job
