High LFT results
Hi I have been having
blood
tests
every 6 months for 3 years because my LFT s are coming back abnormal. I used to be a heavy drinker but for the past few years I have cut down and never have more than 14 units a week.

update
Not sure what’s going on, I had
blood
tests
because of headaches and temple pain but I’ve just had a call from rheumatologist now making an urgent appointment for this Friday and wanting me to increase prednisone from 10mg back up to 15 until I see him, very strange.

Blood Tests
The letter that requested the bloods stated they’d arrange a face to face with my gynae after the
blood
tests
to ‘discuss my options’.

When to take Levothyroxine prior to bloods?
My
blood
tests
are at 2.40pm one day next week and I usually take my tablets about 3-4am. (2.40pm was Earliest appointment I could get). When would it be best to take it prior to testing? It seems maybe too long to miss it until after the bloods? I could take them earlier?

Test results..
My mum had her
blood
tests
and for the first time since she was diagnosed with ET her platelets are within normal range. She is taking Hydroxyurea.. The only issues the tests show are slightly lower white cell count and low hematocrit around 36. Are these side effects of the medication?

Muzvare
I am supposed to go for
blood
tests
in 3 months. Please any tips after diagnosis. I feel lonely with diagnosis and nothing said after that. Any tips on diet or what foods to avoid will be appreciated.

Low adjusted calcium level
It has never been a problem previously but two
blood
tests
in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low adjusted calcium result. Tried searching the group but no luck.

Stop Ibrance?
I am now eating again and feel much better (I had other reasons), but she has ordered me back for new
blood
tests
and wants me to change to Xeloda. I want a chance to get my appetite back up and eating normally before such a major change. Anyone else?

Iron blood tests results
Does anyone know if this blood result shows low iron? I got my results back and it says normal but looking online it says it’s in the lower range. I’ve added the results in photo. Thank you in advance.

Starting Pegasys
I’ve picked up the meds and just waiting for my remaining
blood
tests
to come back before I start. I’ll update this thread over the next 12 months with various updates from how the first injection went and side effects, and blood counts etc.

Worrisome DEXA results
McCormick who looked at my scans and previous
blood
tests
to recommend certain other
blood
tests
that I never had. All of that put my mind at ease.
