First antibody test results
I was diagnosed about 19 years ago with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Every now and again I ask for various blood tests to be repeated to rule out any underlying illnesses that could be masked by the ME (blood count, kidney/liver function etc). On a few occasions over the past 7-8-ish years, my TSH

Hyper/hyper thyroidism?
Following recent scan of saliva glands, which were normal, my thyroid was noted as being “dark”? As I had a partial thyroidectomy 40 years ago and do not take any thyroid supplementary tablets, any clues as to what may be going on. Symptoms, normally attributed to my age, are extreme tiredness

Blood Test Results
Received this test result. My GP says it will be because of AF and no need to refer for another echocardiogram as the one I had in December was an improvement on the one in September. Another blood test result was abnormal for Serum Ferritin levels. Has anyone else had experience of these? x

Got to chat with the endocrinologist (not the one I'd hoped for after seeing list on Thyroid UK) I had to really concentrate as English not her 1st language but we managed to have an in depth chat over the phone. Anyway my doctor referred me as didn't want to put my levo up from 100 to 125mcg luckily

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

PMR... back on 20mg
Thanks everyone for replies and suggestions after my post last Monday. Saw my GP on Tuesday, we discussed the pain, stiffness and fatigue I was experiencing since tapering off prednisone late last year. She agreed I should start at 20mg day, after bloods for Crp and ESR. The results: Crp 3 and ESR

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

Follow up call with Endocrinologist
This week I have a follow up call with my endocrinologist, I only see them when they want to see me so I'm very anxious to make sure I don't miss anything. Last time I saw them was the first time I saw them, they asked if I felt better from my symptoms of graves with the medication, I told them I did

Could Someone Explain The TTGIgA Test Please?
Hello! I have recently had some blood tests done due to low vitamin B12 and long term issues with iron deficiency.
