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

Carbimazole - Graves
Ok hang in there with me on this .... A few weeks ago I posted that I was struggling on 5mg - everything pointed to too higher dose, fair enough so gradually lowered to 2.5mg - I lost my beautiful and beloved Labrador after a cancer battle in early March 💔and attributed a lot of my depression to this

Yet another question about cirrhosis.
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again. I promise this will be my last post for quite some time [hopefully]. I'm taking some advice from a couple of lovely members from this forum who have advised me to try and not worry so much over every detail of my condition, and live each day to its fullest. Just

Low adjusted calcium level
Is there any link between thyroid issues and a low adjusted calcium level? Vitamin D is higher in the range around 100 (I take 3,000IU per day) plus was on a multivitamin as well. It has never been a problem previously but two blood tests in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low

Advise on TSH and FT4 results
Hi All, Last week, I had a liver fibroscan, and the nurse informed me I had no scarring. However, he noted that there is a lot of fat (CAP score 307). The nurse took some blood samples, including TSH and free T4, as well as vitamin D, iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. I already

Low platelets advice
Hi all, Mum has just had her 4th cycle of chemo but her platelets have been at their lowest so far and a little concerned. Chemo was delayed by almost a week as initial blood tests showed platelets at 48. They got back up to 112 so was safe to have the chemo, but I’m wondering if they will continue

Should I keep pushing to be tested? Or are the doctors right?
Hi there, I am really struggling. I have always felt like something was not right about my menstrual cycle. I’m now 22, and have been bleeding consistently and sometimes heavily since December 2023. This is the worst it has ever been, and I finally decided to seek treatment for something I have ignored

Sub-clinical Hyperthyroidism
Hi everyone - the thyroid can be a mean beast! And the endocrine system is complicated. I was diagnosed in 2017 (not Graves) and after a year under the endo my carbimazole dose was fixed at 5mg and 10mg on alternate days. I was discharged to GP care. After that, every 6 month blood test showed TSH and

Hi you lovely lot I don’t post much but really appreciate the knowledge and expertise shown on this site. I read all posts and research as much as I possibly can to manage my condition. So, I’m currently on 100mcg levo prescribed by GP somewhat reluctantly. I was taking 125mcg for a while as I thought

Blue Horizon Test Discount?
Hi to all, Does Blue Horizon still have a 30% discount with a certain code for blood tests? I've been entering one that I used previously but it doesn't seem to work. Or is it just on Thursdays? Many thanks in advance.
