MF and natural epo levels.
Does anyone with MF get tested routinely for their natural epo levels? We have asked to have my wife's epo level checked at her next blood test opportunity, mainly due to her poor Hgb a sudden rise in platelets and that she has only one working kidney left, and no spleen.

Steroid reduction
Two weeks ago I was told reduce your dosage from 4 to3 which I have done. Blood test last week and was told normal . Don't know what normal is as the past few days had pain in shoulders hips and lower back. I also have osteoarthritis in most joints so wondering if it's that that is causing all the pain

dronedarone
i’ve been on amiodarone very successfully since a successful cardioversion last August but recently blood test showed effect on my thyroid so I’ve been switched to dronedarone which I haven’t started taking as yet. Apart from one episode this is the longest time for 12 years that I’ve been without AF

I’m 73 and been feeling extra tired recently, otherwise fit and well. I thought the tiredness might be caused by Keppra a drug I take for epilepsy, I’m also on statins … but anyway the GP did a blood test, the Serum Alanine transaminase was ‘out of range’ at 54 u/l. I’ve always been a drinker but stick

Hashis question
After nearly 13yrs of being hypo I did an at home test to check antibodies, but I've not got much of an idea if the high antibodies are really high or just a 'normal' level for having Hashis? I've never had a goitre, was told I had a few nodules on the RHS of my thyroid when I was first diagnosed.

Yet another mess...
I am coming to the end of my B12 pills and being on the lower pension and every penny counts, wondered if I needed to reorder. So I phoned the surgery to request a blood test, and was told the GP would phone me back. So far, so good. A GP phoned, introduced herself as the new GP at the surgery. I
