Right at the start
I’m right at the start of this….went to GP with bloating and constipation 4 weeks ago - he requested
blood
and FIT
tests
and referred to gastro as he could feel ‘a lump’ lower on my right side.

Can anyone comment on my daughter's blood tests and advise what - if anything - we should do next?
Is it even worth seeing our GP just to log with them we've had further
blood
tests
for future reference?

hypothyroidism - problems with GP
I was astounded to find that the annual
blood
tests
I’ve had for 10 years don’t test for iron or vit D. My vit D levels were found to be deficient- my iron was borderline. I went back to the GP and was prescribed high dose vit D. I opted to take iron supplements.

My
blood
tests
did not confirm the diagnosis, only the lack of symptoms while on an appropriate dose of prednisone seemed to be accepted by my GP. Then my GP felt I needed a Specialist and referred me out to a Rheumatologist-which took months to find in my area of rural Northern California.

Bubbling sensations in the rectum area and very low gurgling sounds, has anyone had the same?
I have had
blood
tests
and a colonoscopy. Everything is fine apart from high iron levels. But I was just wondering if anyone has had the same sensations/symptoms in the subject line? Any advice or reply from someone that has had the same symptoms would be appreciated.

Has anyone had a Jak2 Blood Test for blood disorders?
Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular
blood
tests
since starting T3 for Thyroid issues. My endocrine Nurse picked this up & has mentioned it to the Haematologist who has asked my GP to do the above Jak 2 blood test.

Post-Covid lung issues - what to expect?
I've had
blood
tests
(nothing out of the ordinary for me - I already have lupus - except just above normal mean cell haemoglobin level). ECG borderline (normal rhythm but low voltage QRS. The GP doesn't seem concerned. I've not had the chest XRay back yet.

trying to get a diagnosis
My
blood
tests
are always fine I'm the correct weight for my height and I excercise but I'm finding it causes me more pain lately. I still work as a companion/carer for the elderly . Despite the pain I push on as much as I can.

How rare is it to be diagnosed with PMR at age 45?
He has tried seeing a physio and a chiropractor , but was seen in a private consultation last week and was advised to ask his GP for
blood
tests
to check out inflammatory markers. These came back as raised.
