Central Hypothyroidism
I had a blood test at a hospital (for unrelated reasons) and it showed my TSH as 1.12 and my Free T4 as 10.2. The haematology department wrote to my GP asking for a repeat of the tests and if they remain abnormal, to refer me to an endocrinologist. The results came back from the GP's lab as 1.15 and

Rising PSA
I'm Poollover, Just got the results of a blood test and my PSA went up from 0.67 to 0.77. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga. I'm 86 years old. How concerned should I be? 8 months ago it was about 12. That was before medication. Also slightly anemic. What are my options? Terry

Sick with worry .. gamma GGT level 159 and ALT 62
Evening all, I’m just looking for some advice or guidance really on my recent blood test results following up on the pain I’ve had in my right hand side upper abdomen. As the title suggests, my GGT has come back very high at 159 (think the average for a woman is under 30) and ALT is also above the

Although I have been following the exchanges of this group for several months, this my first posting. I have (at 79) learned a lot from the pooled knowledge and experience of the group members. My inquiry ties in with posts regarding estradiol and the PATCH trial that have appeared the last couple

high thryoid levels but back to bradycardia?!
Good evening. I am seemingly fully replaced on a combi dose of Levo and Lio and generally feel quite well in myself, can tolerate exercise and lead a normal life. My partner commented that I was breathing very fast at night so I have started to wear my apple watch again after a few months leaving

I have been suffering some time now ( years perhaps ) with debilitating symptoms such as exhaustion, puffy face, coldness, constipation, dry skin, hair shedding, muscle aches and more recently severe numbness and pins and needles in my hands. I thought this may be the onset on menopause as I am now

Thyroid private blood tests - new company
Hi - A couple weeks ago someone posted a new company offering thyroid tests that have blood drawing clinics in London and is very reasonably priced. I have just had an unfortunate experience with Medichecks as the clinic I chose in London had no appointments for over a month. I am being issued a refund

Hi everyone, need some advice and reassurance if possible after being told I have CKD. A new GP took over at my surgery and as he was about to prescribe me some tablets he happened to say “Oh you can’t have them because of your CKD”. ????? First I had heard of it. Anyway I met with him last week and
