Advice on DEXA scan results

As a quick recap I am now 48 years old, I was diagnosed with PMR in January 2022 following a blood test that showed raised ESR and CRP markers. I was fairly active prior to the symptoms starting, I first started experiencing

Hello, any help welcome
Hi all,I've been told I have an underactive thyroid recently after feeling very tired and achy for a few months, and having a blood test. No treatment as yet, seems more tests are to follow. I've become much more tired, a bit weepy ( not like me at all😔). And, horror of horrors, I'm gaining weight

Update on Hyperthyroid depression
I have seen an endocrinologist who started me on carbimazole on May 22nd for hyperthyroidism, my levels at that time were TSH, T3 5.3 (3.1-6.8), I am wondering if the levels are dropping too quickly as I feel so depressed but anxious at the same time, very cold feeling inside, bad brain fog, my doctor

Why no consistency when diagnosing B12D
Back in 2004 I tested low for B12 and had 6 loading doses, no follow up treatment. Then in 2018 same feelings of fatigue, tested low again (140) and again had 6 loading doses but again no follow up. As I hit 60 (but considered myself very fit for my age as always been keen sports person) I put fatgue

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

IBS and chest pain
I have just come out of hospital having been admitted with severe chest pain and pain radiating down my arm. The symptoms all appeared to be a heart attack but my troponin levels came back negative. Drs now think it was oesophageal spasm following an IBS flare up which traveled up my oesophagus causing

Overmedication question
Hi all, I have been feeling really weird over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if I'm overmedicated. I take 100mcg levo daily following hemithyroidectomy in Dec. I had been feeling much better since starting the tablets in March. But over the past few weeks I've had hot sweats, very easy to lose

Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

What a difference a year makes!
This is probably a post for those who are fairly new to the site, I still consider myself one of those people. This isn’t a post about reversing cirrhosis. Or some miracle I’ve experienced. It’s purely to provide my experience, the questions I had at the start, the complete hopeless feelings I experienced

PMR flare or not…
morning all I really don’t know what to do atm. I did a slow taper down to 2.5mg Pred and at the same time I thought I’d pulled my knee doing an exercise class as my knee swelled up & felt very sore (about 6 weeks ago this started) The GP thought it was arthritis but the physio she referred me

Low HCG after FET
I had a fresh egg transfer of an early blastocyst and had my blood test yesterday. Results today show a low Hcg level of 13 (day 28 of my cycle). Is it likely going to result in a bio chemical pregnancy/miscarriage? This is my third transfer and my first transfer resulted in a bio chemical
