Hi, I started the vedolizimub iV infusions in hospital approx a month ago for UC. So far I have had 2 infusions so hopefully only 1 more infusion to go then I can start to inject. My only worry is my white blood count is low and the nurses said if it continues to stop any lower than 3 they wil delay

Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as iron, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason. Now, bear in mind I have been on HRT (prescribed by them) for

Doctor refusing to increase levo, says I should not have been put on it in the first place (it was "against his better judgement")
Argh, I've just had an incredibly frustrating and upsetting phone consultation after 8 weeks on 50mcg of levothyroxine. I was on a starter dose of 25mcg for the 8 weeks before that. Current/past levels TSH level (range 0.570-3.6) 3.169 mU/L 13 Nov 2023 1.841 mU/L 21 Sep 2023 3.730 mU/L

B12 Injections stopped as I do not meet crtieria.
Good morning I now have information to identify that; 1) the practice updated their process in November 2022 to " ensure only patients with P.A. receive B12 injections. 2) Blood tests in 2018 show low B12, but Intrinsic factor and celliac screen were negative. 3) GP Practice direct me to take

truly scrumptious
My surgery are doing Blood tests to check for for diabetes, possibly because l am elderly, at 87. My results showed that l did not have diabetes but that l was pre-diabetic. I was rather surprised because l have never been overweight and have a reasonably healthy diet. However l was curious to see if

Thyroxine dose reduced without my knowledge
Hello, I have been hypothyroid for around 15 years. For the past few years I've been taking 100mgs of Levothyroxine every day. I collected my usual repeat prescription for various medications a few days ago, and my Levo was missing. I queried it with the pharmacist, who told me my doctor had cancelled

Blood Tests
Hello, I was just wondering, when people have had the CA125 test, have they had a number of other blood tests along side it? I’ve been sent for CA125, CEA, AFP, LDH and HCG. I had an ultrasound three weeks ago which showed a large cyst and bigger endometriomas than my previous scan last summer,

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

High neutrophil count😱
My wife's last blood test showed her platelets were up at @800 And her neutrophil count at over 70, her Hgb was 116, hematocrit was 0.38 which is high for her, but as it was only three weeks since she had three units of packed red cells and a bag of iron, that was expected. I read in the guardian of

Asthma, pneumonia A&E and admission
Well it's day 3 of my treatment for pneumonia with oxygen, rescue steriods antibiotics and neubs (if necessary). I took myself to A&E on Thursday night as I thought my asthma was flaring and not responding to my salamol. Turns out not asthma but low oxygen levels and pneumonia. The nhs were at there
