had my face to face with my haemo consultant last Weds and from what it seems favourable results from my hydroxy drug prescribed dosage. The dosage now being lowered as a result. I was advised that my blood sample appointments would be now extended to once a month sampling. I disputed this, as I am

Feeling pathetic...
Sitting at the hospital in the midst of a synacthen test and feeling sorry for myself. So I thought I'd vent on here to a group of lovely folk who understand what it's like to appear normal on the outside but struggling on the inside! Like most on here I hate having to admit I can't do what I used to

Blood test with GP want to be armed with information
Hi I am due to have a blood test with my GP surgery for my thyroid. This is the annual one. I use a combination of levo and also use NDT which I source myself. My GP isn’t aware of my NDT nor do I have any intention of telling them. Every year since my old GP retired it is a constant battle to

It’s a no go after 12 days of injections
So we’ve now been told my blood test results have shown I have low hormone levels, and therefore we cannot continue on with further medication at this stage. My partner came home in bits & I’m struggling to be strong. We’ve been told we can try again my next cycle, so that’s what we’re thinking. I think

Started Xtandi and AST spiked!
Hey everyone...don't know if anyone has had this experience. I'm about 12 months into my PCa battle...been on Firmagon for most of it (including now). Started on Zytiga last year but had to stop due to elevated liver enzymes, so I switched to Casodex about two months ago, but PSA numbers started to

How bad is TSH 18?
For several years TSH has been consistent, thyroxine stayed the same at 100mcg. Last year TSH was 1.8, this year - 18!!! I know this is bad, but just how bad is it? I can't find anything helpful online, all any site seems to give is the normal range. They're going to begin by adding another 25mcg with

Day 12 & only 2 follicles
So yesterday was day 12 of injections & I had another scan on the hope that tomorrow would be egg retrieval day. Unfortunately my scan only showed 2 follicles, and neither are of accurate size. I had a blood test to check my hormone levels, so we are currently awaiting results, to see whether to continue

I got my results back for pernicious anemia! Looks like folate deficiency, but would really appreciate any comments
I finally got my blood test results back for pernicious anemia. It looks like I don't have it, and that my problem is folate deficiency. And low reticulocyte count which would be caused by low folate I suppose. My other results are all in range, though active B12 could maybe be higher I am thinking

Prednisolone cured the initial pain in my legs and thighs but deep ache in my thighs & calves persists after 8 months. What can I expect ?
I am a reasonably healthy 72 year old, a retired Physicist/Engineer and before the PMR used to cycle and swim daily. I live with my wife in a house built in 1880 and we are improving it year by year. PMR probably started May 2023 with ache / pain in top of left inner thigh and sometimes right thigh

Too much b12 please help?
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out for some guidance and advice. I've recently experienced tingling and muscle aches and neck and leg tingling , and I'm concerned it might be due to having too much B12 in my system. I had a blood test three weeks after my last B12 injection, and the results showed levels

Levothyroxine stopped postpartum
Hi all, new here 👋December 2022 I was feeling pretty rubbish, really low mood, spaced out and just generally unwell. I went to my GP and my bloods came back borderline underactive. In February I found out I was pregnant, during routine bloods I had a phonecall from the hospital saying I needed to

armour update
i have been raking Armour for almost 6 months now and despite the initial feelings of depression, the increased dose has left me feeling much better. My thyroid blood tests have just been returned and are described as abnormal. I am curious to know if anyone with more experience than me thinks they

It's not always liver!
So after a flare up of acute pancreatitis that left him bedridden, when hubby got better last week I was hoping we'd seen the back of illness for a while. Last night he rapidly started coming down with UTI symptoms that rapidly progressed to kidney pain. 111 referred us to out of hours, out of hours

Advice on recent blood tests
I've included the last three sets of blood tests, all done at the same lab, fasting in the morning. Question is whether an increase in T3 is warranted. My new Endo thinks I can go from 15mcg to 20mcg which will help with my fatigue. I have been on 15mcg for a few years and was doing well, but fatigue

Why all going wrong always with me 😭
Today is my 10dpt of 5dt. Did the urine pregnancy test and showed up negative😭. I used the strips that can measure hcg more than 25u/ml. Not sure whether hcg quantity was there to detect or I’m not pregnant. But this time I was confident the way my symptoms showed up and expected the implantation
