Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I am now down to 2mg of Prednisolone a day. From a few weeks in my rheumatologist has wanted me to go onto Methotrexate. I have never achieved total symptom relief and recently I've probably been slightly stiffer than before, certainly in the mornings. My last blood tests showed that my CRP had gone

In Feb 2023 I asked my GP for help as I’d noticed my weight was dropping, had temperature fluctuations and I thought the odd heart palpitation. Tests showed my TSH was 0.1 but my T3 and T4 were within normal range. In October I finally saw an Endocrinologist who arranged an ultrasound scan, bloods and

blood transfusions
My husband has high risk MF and takes RUX/jackifi which he started last March since his disease has progressed and HU did not work for him any longer. He has had to rely on monthly blood transfusions since last June which normally last him around a month before he needs another transfusion since

Sourcing advice please
Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

Blood test time - still no better
Hello I'm posting again to get views on my latest blood tests, although I think it's probably same as last time. I just don't get anywhere with my doctor. Last time some of you were saying that I possibly had poor conversion and I think my results this time are showing similar sort of numbers. My doctor

blood tests tomorrow
hi This is my first post and I’m almost clueless I had a full spine MRI. The report says I have small bilateral cysts on my thyroid. This is all it says. The MRI was for spine problems. I went to my doctor about this who has arranged a blood test tomorrow at 1145. Do I need to be fasting. Also

spiriva
hi, have others found that Spiriva has helped to stop exacerbations from colds? I've had three colds since September: the first put me in hospital for 12 days. The second two have led to oral steroids at home (with quick improvement). This has been a nasty introduction to lung problems. I don't get

Calcium D3 Supplements
Are any of you diagnosed with Osteoporosis taking supplements, Calcium, D3, K, etc. even though blood tests show normal range? I have been advised it is not necessary to take supplements if blood tests normal. Too much Calcium may increase risk of other health issues. My PCP advises taking multivitamin

why does our thyroid suddenly become less effective?
I was almost 54 when a blood test told me I had a less effective thyroid and since this time last year I’ve gone from 50mcg to 75 and now up to 100 to see if it can get to the right level. I’ve been a serial dieter for 30 years and have blamed this. My Father had a goitre most of his adult life that
