Hashimoto’s
She requested a huge raft of
blood
tests
although we both suspected that thyroid would be the issue. I am a vegan and all of my tests came back normal including my vitamin B12 (59 years of eating marmite nearly every day) the two that didn’t were thyroid and pre diabetes.

I have had multiple colonoscopies, endoscopes and stool and
blood
tests
. All appear normal. But this constant pain, bowel movements and feeling constipated just gets worse and worse. I appreciate any responses and suggestions. thank you

Giving levo another go...
I have been on 50mcg now for 6 weeks and my latest
blood
tests
from this week are as follows: TSH: 3.58 mIU/L (0.35 - 4.94) T4: 11.9 pmol/L (9.0- 19.1) 29% T3: 4.1 pmol/L (2.4-6.0) 47% GP wouldn't increase (not sure if that would help or make things worse) nor would Endo.

interstitial cystitis
I’ve had millions of urine samples, some sent to lab, I’ve had clear renal
blood
tests
and I’ve had thorough examinations of down below and my back etc. is the last thing a scan? And what type? How much more prodding etc happens before they diagnose this?

Stomach cancer
Blood

revealed very low in haemoglobin and iron. She was given 2 infusion for blood and one for iron. She then went for endoscopy app. The girl who did the endoscopy was suspicious of malignancy in stomach. She noticed bleeding in stomach as well.

Finally on Levo but I have made a mistake
I sourced my own ndt and ignore
blood
tests
. I decided to go for a
blood
test a couple of weeks ago and stopped ndt for 5 days. Results showed hypo so they prescribed 100mg Levo.

Here are my blood test results as promised…..
Since having the left side of my thyroid removed in February 23 because of a suspiciously large nodule, my
blood
tests
had showed lower than optimum levels and so I was started on Levothyroxine 50mg in September 23. My GP says that’s the correct dose based on my recent
blood
tests
.

New trial in the West Midlands seeks to diagnose early-stage ovarian cancer
Good morning everyone This post is to let you know about the SONATA trial which is looking at whether taking two
blood
tests
together (CA125 and HE4), and using a calculation called ROMA, would diagnose ovarian cancer earlier.
