Advice following GP visit please
Hi, I posted a few days ago asking for advice after having had results back from
blood
tests
and struggling to see my GP. Well, I finally saw her today. She was sympathetic, and has referred my results to an endocrinologist for guidance.

When it’s someone you love!
Another doctor told her that her latest round of
blood
tests
showed that she only had Sjögrens ‘slightly’ and that she shouldn’t worry about it (imagine telling someone that they are only ‘slightly’ pregnant or that they are only ‘slightly’ dead!).

Familial Polycythemia
Our
blood
tests
always show a red cell count around 5.6, Haemoglobin 160 and ESR 9. We've never been given any information but my daughter saw her GP yesterday and discussed the blood test results, he said we clearly have familial Polycythemia and should be being checked regularly.

high b12 high mch and mcv
My GP said that I had a b12 deficiency (she didn't measure my b12), so I went to the haematologist and have just gotten these
blood
tests
, I have an appointment in 10 days. This does not look like a b12 deficiency to me... or I'm missing something?

How to wean off omeprazole
I’ve just had some
blood
tests
done prior to some surgery and the results show there may be a problem with vitamin B12 levels. Hmm, I take 20mg omeprazole daily, in capsule form. Anyone any idea of the best way to come off this? I believe I’ll have to gradually wean off it?

Graves Blood Test food or not to food ...
I said "no - I generally don't bother before
blood
tests
nor am I hungry!" she then told me that with T4 and TSH it's important to eat something to "get the blood flowing". She was totally lovely etc, but just wondered if anyone else has been told this?

Why don’t my Family understand what Fibro does to me?
So I went to my GP and got sent for
blood
tests
for numerous conditions that could be related to it; all came back negative. I was relieved that the results were negative, but didn’t understand why it wasn’t going away.

husband just diagnosed with dilated catsiomyopathy
I was feeling positive and after initial
blood
tests
have been taken, his cardiologist feels that with an increase in dosage, this can be even further improved. It all seems vey scary now and he has been very quiet and reluctant to talk about it.

Suspect thyroid issue
I recently had full
blood
tests
done due to a range of symptoms including tiredness, lethargy, brain fog, aches and pains. I've now had the results back and an concerned about some of them that the doctor has dismissed as normal.

Does Besremi cause high blood sugar?
The thing is, I had a BMB this week, since my MPN specialist wanted to have a baseline, and prior to the biopsy had some
blood
tests
at the hospital. I got some of the results today and was shocked to see my Fasting Glucose level jumped from 83 prior to starting Besremi, to 121.

More tests/ moving clinic / Dr.Shehata
He has recommended I go private and get 3 other
blood
tests
(£1200) and for my husband to have sperm dna fragmentation test . This is another expense I’m skeptical about but he says it’s better to have all the
tests
done to rule out other issues.

What is an Osteoarthritis flare?
I went to A&E as I assumed it was my cruciate ligament but, after X-rays and
blood
tests
, which were all normal, I was told it was an osteoarthritis 'flare'?? They wouldn't do an MRI as they said even if it was a tear, the remedy is the same, rest, ice, elevate.
