A lot to learn!
Hi everyone. I’m very new to this and could do with a bit of help as I feel there’s a lot to learn and I want to be able to help myself. Earlier this year I realised I had a swelling on the front of my neck. I was put on the cancer pathway and following an ultrasound was told it was a benign cyst but

Fibrotest-actitest panel
3 years ago I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 4 with advanced fatty liver. This was determined by blood test and fibroscan. I went for 2nd opinion, new doctor didn't believe I had cirrhosis so suggested biopsy which showed Stage 1 mild fibrosis with mild fatty liver zone 3. This Doctor also did not believe

5 weeks pregnant with bleeding and cramps
hello, as usual just looking for a little reassurance.. although pretty sure it’s game over for me! For background, I had a chemical pregnancy with my first transfer (starting hcg 60) and so was delighted when my hcg reading was 577 for this FET. I’m now at 5 weeks and had very subtle brown spotting

Steroid sparing - or maybe not?
I'd be very grateful for any advice or experience that others can share about the decision to embark on steroid sparing with methotrexate. This has just been recommended by my rheumatology nurse and, following her explanation of the process I have some concerns. I started GCA headaches in January 2022

Elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies and feeling very tired 😴
Hi all, I am 51 and take 50mg levothyroxine daily and have been since July last year. I was feeling tired and sluggish and my bloods were tested and had TSH above 5. I was put on 50mg last year. I have had a private blood test done last week and the results are in the photo. My TSH is now 3.76 and I

Blood test help required
Please could anyone advise me on my
blood
tests
which were done as my hair is shedding like crazy. I have an underactive thyroid and about 8 weeks ago my GP increased my thyroxine to 200mcg as my TSH was 6 (she didn’t test anything else).

Abnormal Nrbc and liver platlet results
Hi, I've been on both methotrexate 20mg and hydrochloride 200mg for years now and bar the odd flare up, they have been controlling my RA but my last blood test came back with this so I'm worried that it is now effecting my liver or worse. Anybody had these kind of results before?

How long do reserves last?
I stopped self injecting Dec2021 as my level was way over the top score in my blood test. I was OK until the last few months. Does this mean my reserves are used up, as I have been sleeping 12 hours a night and my feet have got more numb. My level was OK last year. I haven't been tested for B12 since

Can anyone explain
Hi,On Tuesday of this week I was out with my husband having a relaxing drive to the beach. I began to feel uncomfortable. I had a pain in the middle of my stomach above my belly button. My ribcage felt like it was being crushed. I had to undo my bra to try and relieve some of the pressure. We stopped

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

Mental Health or Thyroid issues. ?
Hi ... I was taking 125mcg Levothyroxine for many years but when I had a Heart Attack my Cardiologist suggested that my dose might be too much, I was very reluctant to lower the dose as I had been coping with life ''just fine''. I remember ''one GP'' telling me I had classic sub clinical hypothyroidism

I had a review a week or so back. Been on dupilimab for 18 months or so - on home care so I administer it myself. I explained that I now cough a lot. My FeNo was high ( usually in three figures) I did spirometry and a blood test. Just been called by a pharamcist - consultant wants me to have a chest
