My husband 73 yes old just had cardiovascular risk
blood
tests
and has been asked to speak to practice nurse of pharmacist.I do think this is part of the drive to get everyone on statins.

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

Thyroid test calculator: Any changes desired?
Hi all, I wrote and support the
blood
tests
calculator (https://thyroid.chingkerrs.online/ ). I am on Jury service for the next two weeks and wonder if there are a few improvements I could work during the expected waits?

Levothyroxine - saint or devil?
I tried increasing the dosage myself but my
blood
tests
sent my GP into panic mode so I'm back on 100mcg. Someone recently told me that levothyroxine could be the culprit but my GP hasn't suggested any alternatives. Any advice/knowledge please? Thank you.

Ana vs ENA
Hello, After many years of joint pain and 5+ years of eye troubles, I was given a series of
blood
tests
including autoantibodies. I've come back positive three times now for dsdna autoantibody (the second two tests simply being repeats).

Blood Test Questions
I've been looking at the last lot of
blood
tests
that my doctor did and was wondering if the serum ferritin level is low or ok.

I am new to the group
Up until now I have just had regular
blood
tests
through my GP surgery. I had an Ultrasound before diagnosis which was normal but have not had a Fibroscan. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does changes in liver always mean cancer
Following an ultrasound, more spots have now been identified and is going for an MRI and
blood
tests
soon. I am very worried and was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and does this always result in a cancer diagnosis? Thank you.

follow up
Interestingly, my most recent
blood
tests
for the neurologist included B12/folate levels (which I wasn’t fussed about as I’m self-managing the B12 at home). I had done an injection the night before and thought my levels would be up over 2000 but they were “only” 1470 pmol/l.

Self-help on managing Hashimoto's
Hello, I've recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto's following
blood
tests
and then a thyroid scan due to an enlarged goitre. I'm on 50mg of Levothyroxine and I've chosen to go gluten free (I'm not celiac as I've been tested).
