Gp did blood test for TSH level but came back normal (1.22). Have lost weight and wakes me at night too. What other tests could I

Not sure what's wrong.
Hi, I wasn't sure as to which community to post in but here goes. I am a 52 year old male. About 6 months ago I became unwell due to a virus of some sort. It’s likely I had COVID but I never tested positive for it. Ever since I’ve just not been right and most days I have a lack of energy and usually

An Eventful January
I like to keep the NHS busy. My January itinerary as its stands, although more can be added yet. Week 1 - Respiratory Chest Consultant, following a CT Scan on 29/12 I had an appt with the Consultant a few days later. As I expected the scan showed that I had a Pleural Effusion/Pneumonia (fluid) in both

Adrenal insufficiency
After 3.5 years on Prednisolone and 1 year of Toccilizumab for GCA including sight loss (late diagnosis), starting at 60mg, I got down to 2mg following a Synacthen test in June 23 which apparently proved my adrenal glands were capable of working. However I couldn’t function at all, extreme fatigue,

T4/T3 conversion
Can anyone recommend a good supplement for T4/T3 conversion please? My T3 blood tests (Medicheck) have been in the 3's since Covid - apart from a brief period when I hit the dizzy heights of 4.4 - but I've always been 'within range' so no chance of getting T3! I am currently waiting for an MRI (10

Side effects after a dose increase?
Hi, I have been on levothyroxine for around 18 months. To start with, my results were always 'subclinical' with my TSH around 5. I was symptomatic (cold, fatigue, puffy, aches) and prescribed 25 levo which was increased to 50 after 12 weeks. I was left on 50 for around a year and then bumped up to 75

New blood test to detect neuroendocrine PCa
Summary: Researchers have developed a blood test that can reliably detect neuroendocrine prostate cancer and differentiate it from castration-resistant prostate cancer-adenocarcinoma (CRPC-adeno). https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/01/240110120221.htm

After Radioactive iodine treatment, what do I put on travel insurance docs?
Hi, Can anyone tell me ... 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease, treated with Carbimazole and then in March 2023 I had radioactive iodine treatment. Over the course of 2023 I had repeated blood tests, and now I take daily levothyroxine. So I assume I am no longer classed as having

PMR or Arthritis?
I have been reading your forum since I was diagnosed with PMR just over 2 years ago. I have found it incredibly informative, helpful and comforting, but this is my 1st post.

incorrect dose of prednisolone?
Just less than a month ago, I reduced my first prednisolone dose from 15mg to 12.5mg. This was after a blood test. I wasn’t keen to reduce by more than ten percent, especially as I was going to be travelling a long way and be away for Xmas and new year, then home for two days and away again for eight

GP vs. Endocrinologist
I am under the care/supervision of an endocrinologist. I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid over 20 years ago. My GP is aware and agreed that my endocrinologist takes blood samples and “tweaks” my dose of medicines accordingly. My blood test results from the Endocrinologist on 11 July 2023
