Supplements before blood test?
Hi all - now that I am finally medicated and also had loading doses of B12 (and I paid for vit D3) injections, figuring out supplements I need to take alongside figuring out what is triggering my hyperthyroidism - I wanted to check which I should NOT take prior to the blood test I have finally got to

New journey?
I was diagnosed with PMR in April 2020 and have reduced from initial dose of 40mgs of Prednisolone to 5mgs, where I have become a bit stuck. Today I have been diagnosed with GCAand put on 40mgs and return visit to GP next week, with blood tests in between. Just wondering what my journey will be like

A month into Pegasys, Australia …
An Update 😃 Now a couple of weeks later and all is well. I saw my haematologist and we were both surprised and encouraged to see that my platelets had gone down 200 in the 4 weeks I’d been on Pegasys 👏🏻 Neither of us had expected that as we had decided on the low dose and slow results thinking in

How do I know if I have PA?
My issues with B12 only came to light after booking an iron infusion with Dr. Klein earlier this year. He asked me to stop taking any b vits for a month prior to my blood test. After 3 weeks of not taking B12 and other b complex supplements my health rapidly deteriorated. I became weaker by the day

Results in - All looks normal
Good morning. The results are back from the private full thyroid blood test that I had. Posing the results here, and looking for advice. All appears to be normal BUT, I still have chronic insomnia, weight gain around my mid-section, lack of energy, and low mood. Any advice greatly received. Thank

A night in the life of RLS
Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

Headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy
Hi, does anyone else get headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy? I have read the side effects leaflet and it states that 'headache' and 'insomnia' are two of the side effects; since I have been on T3 only I often wake up in the night and have a very light sleep compared to what I am used to, then

Focal nodular hyperplasia
Hi all, I've been feeling unwell for months now. I've had blood tests, scans, and have been told I have an FNH that's about 5.7cm. I've been told this has nothing to do with my symptoms, but it's in the left lobe, and I swear I can feel it when I move around. Physical activity makes the pain worse,

I want to understand what happened to me.
I stopped taking levothyroxine for a month because I wasn’t feeling any improvement at all. Then, I went back on it with a high dose of 100 mcg and felt a quick improvement. I had a lot of energy, and the brain fog disappeared. But, this improvement only lasted for 24 hours. I then increased the dose

Confused about PMR, arthritis and effects of pred.
I'll try to keep this brief but may have to add more details later. We had to cancel our holiday on the day of departure (5th July) due to a sudden severe pain in my left hip, only on movement. I could hardly walk and hubby had to help me down the stairs. I am on half mg of pred and recently was discharged

Husband isn't on any treatment for the CLL at the moment and hasn't been since stopping Veneteclax a year after having the treatment due to various side effects. But every blood test so far is showing the CLL is not showing signs of being active, he is having blood tests every 3 to four months and

b12 advice
Hey, So for ten years or so now I’ve suffered with a “on and off” B12/folate deficiency. I had loading doses and then injections in 2017 and my levels were at the lowest of 198, folate was really low aswell then but then they checked my levels a few months later (1803) and obviously they would be high
