Hair loss - Levothyroxine!!
Hi All, Thanks in advance for any reassurance, but since starting on Levothyroxine I’m really noticing that my hair is falling out much more than usual. Whilst I appreciate this can be a side effect it’s quite unsettling…. I was put on a starting dose of Levothyroxine at 50cmg with a TSH level of 48

Have latent TB, starting tx next week
I had a TB blood test along with other tests because my ophthalmologist was wondering if there was an underlying cause for an eye inflammation. Turns out my TB test was positive. 😳 I think I probably was exposed when I worked at a psychiatric hospital with a high risk population. I plan to start the

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

Wow just wow
(Trigger warning) This for once has nothing to do with my current husband. Last year when I had a breakdown I left my husband and went to my ex- husband because he offered me a safe place to stay. I packed up my son and moved us over because I had enough of stuff going on at home. Anyway my ex- husband

Neutropenia/ low neutrophils
I was diagnosed with Neutropenia in 2017 aged 46. Anyone else with neutropenia and thyroid problems? I'm sure I'm hypothyroid. My blood test kit has turned up today, so I will wait until Monday before doing the test and posting it off. My last thyroid tests are below and Greygoose has advised me

mCRPC end of ADT--staying the course.
My dad saw his oncologist yesterday. My sister and I were there; we both read “Being Mortal” and watched several videos on the subject. The MO brought in the PSA test and said it was time to start considering a treatment change and the next steps were chemo and there was also Pluvicto. What happened

Waiting on ultrasound results
Hi everyone, I found a lump on the front of my neck (you can visibly see it) along with a raised lymph node. I had a neck ultrasound this week and I’m just waiting on the results. The radiologist said there is a 2cm nodule on my thyroid but that he couldn’t see anything concerning and would pass everything

Once a day T3ers only
Do you still do your blood tests in the same way as those on divided doses or T4? I can't think of any better way unless someone has any ideas? I am taking all my T3 on waking so got earliest appointment I could ( testing other stuff too so can't do my own finger prick test) and that is 10am Mon, sadly

Want to see someone private who gives a shit
I paid for a private consultation and they promised an MRI to look for deep infiltrating endometriosis that may be tying my organs together but once I had the consultation they referred me back to the NHS and now the consultant has completely forgotten about this and gave me a 4 minute and 30 second

PMR/GCA monitoring and bone supplements
Hi recently diagnosed with PMR and just started course of steroids in the last week. Doctor has now sent me the tapering programme for following year. As I have osteopenia of the femur he has suggested I take supplements for my bones. Either calcium and vit D or bisphosponates? Any advice on which
