When to take Levothyroxine prior to bloods?
morning all - I’d really appreciate some advice please. My blood tests are at 2.40pm one day next week and I usually take my tablets about 3-4am. (2.40pm was Earliest appointment I could get). When would it be best to take it prior to testing? It seems maybe too long to miss it until after the bloods

T3 toxicity
Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me whether it’s possible for T3 to simply ‘not agree’ with me? I’ve posted here before and got lots of great advice. My numbers previously showed me mid range through all the thyroid numbers but not converting well to T3. I was advised to take selenium and zinc

alternative liver cancer screening for those w/ cirrhosis
I am looking into alternative ways of screening for HCC liver cancer because the current screening guidelines regularly fail to catch the cancer early enough. For those of us who have well-compensated cirrhosis, even though our livers are compensating, the risk of HCC remains very high for our entire

Crash after Covid?
I’m really struggling to balance my body back out after having Covid and so so puzzled. Not sure why this has happened or where to go with it next. Has anyone had a really bad crash after Covid? I’m diagnosed pernicious anaemia and hypothyroid Hashimotos. I had been in the same routine with supplements

Taking blood tests after Pred
Hi, If someone has finished the MethylPrednisolone pack on July 5, 2024, how soon can blood be drawn to get a reading of CRP and ERS without it impacting the results? How long does Pred stay in our systems and affect the CRP and ERS blood test results? Thank you!

Hair loss - Levothyroxine!!
Hi All, Thanks in advance for any reassurance, but since starting on Levothyroxine I’m really noticing that my hair is falling out much more than usual. Whilst I appreciate this can be a side effect it’s quite unsettling…. I was put on a starting dose of Levothyroxine at 50cmg with a TSH level of 48

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

Wow just wow
(Trigger warning) This for once has nothing to do with my current husband. Last year when I had a breakdown I left my husband and went to my ex- husband because he offered me a safe place to stay. I packed up my son and moved us over because I had enough of stuff going on at home. Anyway my ex- husband

mCRPC end of ADT--staying the course.
My dad saw his oncologist yesterday. My sister and I were there; we both read “Being Mortal” and watched several videos on the subject. The MO brought in the PSA test and said it was time to start considering a treatment change and the next steps were chemo and there was also Pluvicto. What happened
