Taking Carbimazole and going out of range.
I am taking 7 mg carbimazole every day. My latest blood tests are abnormal . TSH 5.07 mlu/L 0.27. - 4. 2. Should I be taking more or less carbimazole to bring me into range. Thank you Val

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Stopping Kevzara
I have had to stop my Sarilumab jabs, yet again, because my white cells have dropped again. I have been off the drug for over three weeks now and have heard nothing since my last blood test. I expected to feel gradually worse without it but I don't. I still have the pain and take my painkillers, but

Tapering off pramexole
I've been reading this forum for a couple of years and it's really helpful. I'm in the states and I know this is a UK forum so I'm using American measurements. A little background. Thirteen years ago my husband complained I was treating the bed like a trampoline. I was sleeping through all of it, except

Recovery after blood transfusion
After a

transfusion
for low platelets and HB did you feel better straight away or did it take a few days? I am still breathless and light headed two days later? I have had repeat blood tests to show levels are higher but not back to normal yet.

Does one AF episode warrant medication
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP.So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.
