Update from symptoms etc...
OK guys, to give you a bit of an update. Nurse from surgery called this afternoon and has asked me to do a weeks worth of BP readings, done at rest twice daily.

Sudden diagnosis of CKD3 a few months following adrenalectomy

Complete Remission
My Complete Blood Count (CBC) results state the normal range for Lymphocytes is 850-3900 cells/uL. The NCCN CLL guidelines for Complete Remission (CR) states Lymphocytes must be less than 5000 cells/uL.

How rare is it to be diagnosed with PMR at age 45?

"News of a potential blood test gives early diagnosis hope for Parkinson's" (RLS research needed?)
Researchers have developed a blood test to predict patients who would 'develop Parkinson’s - up to seven years before symptoms began'. Could similar research bring potential benefits for RLS?

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'

Blood Tests to show if Calcium is being absorbed into the bones and not elsewhere....
Does anyone know if there's blood test than can tell if the calcium supplements are in fact going to the right place ( the bones) and not being absorbed into the bloodstream, if so what's it called? I have been diagnosed, via the DEXA scan, with severe osteoporosis, but I don't understand the explanation

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

Hand inflamation following PMR
Hi there, I suffered bad PMR for nearly three years, strating on 30mg of pred. Tapering down until about six weeks ago... maybe too fast towards the end, the GP put me on Naproxin. Aches and pains were fairly bad but a trigger finger has led to inflammation and paralysis to both hands. No one seems to
