Having trouble getting my prescription
Please can someone advise if they have had similar experience. I put in my usual request at my GP for my thyroxine. I then received a txt message saying rejected on account of being too early and that I was overdue on blood tests. I had never been asked to have a blood test, if so I would have happily

Sensitive- line progression- worried 😟
I’m feeling so worried now that I don’t think my line is getting darker :( Just seems like it’s been the same for the past three days. All test taken in the morning between 4am- 7am. I have my first HCG blood test on Thursday but really got this gut feeling this may end up another biochemical. Surely

Phosphate
Hi Everyone, I have hypocalcemia and PTH insufficiency know as hypoparathyroidism but still a working diagnosis. When I have my bone profile done by blood test my phosphate does not elevate high like they usually do when you have low calcium. It just sits around middle normal range and sometimes low

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this

Blood test results are stable
Hello CLL Fellows, Caretakers, and Specialists, Before seeing Dr. Chen for a follow-up session at Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital in Toronto, my wife underwent a blood test today. From 2020 to March 2024, the quantity of white blood cells and lymphocytes increased linearly with each visit; however

Longstanding hypothyroid, with now very low TSH
I've had hypothyroidism for 30+ years. I've only ever seen an endocrinologist once, and that was when I was first diagnosed. Since then I've had the yearly TSH check and it's always been mostly within normal limits, this despite my still having every symptom of hypothyroidism. Last week I had a well

GFR of 60
Hello. Last week my husband had blood tests and it showed he might have an issue with his kidneys. His GFR is 60. He is 68 and pretty healthy. He has taken iboprofin and Aleve just recently for hip pain. He never took it before the last 2 months. The doctor said that this might be the cause for his numbers
