Reintroducing gluten for coeliac test?
Hello everyone, After going gluten free in mid-November 2023 I have today had a blood test request come in which involves a coeliac test. I was tested for coeliac in 2017 too (negative) but didn't know I was being tested for it and had been eating strictly low carb for about 2 years at that point

Hello I messaged on here recently about my symptoms and was recommended to take a private blood test, which I've done. So I'm surprised that they've all come back normal! I screenshot them but not all together. Think I need to now think it is actually not my thyroid, but rheumatoid after all!

Will a COVID (or flu) vaccination affect my blood results?
If I have a blood test 3 or 7 days after a COVID (or flu) vaccination - will it affect my blood results? Should I perhaps make the vaccination after the blood test, so that there is no potential issue interpreting my blood results? If the vaccination affects blood results - how many days after the vaccination

Hashimoto advice please
hello, I have had an underactive thyroid and been on Levothyroxine 75mg since 2015. Last November I had a private blood test done as I had been struggling with lots of ‘symptoms’ and wondered if my thyroid could be the cause and it showed I have Hashimoto’s disease which I understand is an autoimmune

Different doses different brands of Levo
Hello everyone. I am hoping for some advice. Following a recent blood test I have now been asked to reduce my Levo. Currently on 75 and now I am reducing to 50 for 2 days a week and maintaining 75 for the rest as I am slightly over medicated. I have been taking Teva 75 and would like to stay with

hi I’m 67, female, as long as I can remember I get a cough after any cold virus, fatigue lasting a few weeks. I approached my GP a year ago as I was getting breathless during walking. I’m about a stone overweight. GP did chest X-ray, blood tests & ECG, all was ok. Fast forward to November I was having

SAR Form
Does anyone know about this Subject Access Request form or SAR? I have had some blood tests done, and the surgery now says I need to fill in the above form. In the past, I have always gained access to my data when I call into the surgery and ask for a print-off. Not sure why they're asking me to fill

Flare with normal blood inflammation levels ?
Hello everyone, Just after some advice please. I began my PMR journey last February albeit unknowing what my condition was then, initially unable to get a correct diagnosis I was first prescribed Nefopam and Amitriptyline which had no effect to my symptoms, the Amitriptyline actually made me worse.

Worried About (Possible) Recent Diagnosis of PMR.
Around 3 months ago I became aware of increasing aches and pains in my arms and legs and an overwhelming exhaustion. I’m normally a fit and active 73 year old. My neck felt stiff but I put that down to wear and tear as I also have worn discs in my lower spine which I manage with Pilates. GP sent me

Serum Ferritin
I’ve just had a raft of blood tests as I am suffering with terrible itching and rashes which I understand are quite common whilst reducing steroids (currently 1mg). Everything came back normal except serum ferritin of 630 ug/L My doctor marked all the results on-line as satisfactory but this result

New thyroid results
Hello I've just had my new blood test results and they say they're abnormal. I've felt absolutely rubbish the last few weeks . The Dr upped my dose to 200 from 175... Can you look at my results and tell me what they mean ?

Inspiring medical research news
Hi all, I received this, this morning. Amazing how much is going on behind the scenes 😀 Medical research newsletter, well worth a read. Maybe consider taking part? I'm on a drug trial for an alternative statin. It hasn't affected any of my usual drugs, no side effects, regular 6 monthly blood tests.
