New blood results - Need advice
TSH: 1.82 FT4: 19 (11-23) FT3: 5.6 (3.4-5.9) I was on 225mcg and lowered to 150mcg. These blood tests were after 16 weeks on 150. I took two weeks off of 225mcg then started 150. I feel awful. Terrible fatigue and brain fog. Was told I possibly had a thyroid storm. My FT3 has never been this

EPO testing
Hi, my wife has MF and has been having RBC transfusions reasonably often, I did ask her consultant if he had ever checked her baseline EPO levels, I didn't get an answer. He says she has a chronic bleed, but there is no evidence of passing any blood at all. I have done some research which indicates that

PMR relapse?
I would be grateful for some advice! I was diagnosed with PMR end of 2022. I was put on 15 mg Prednisolone and started tapering around 2 months in. I stopped Pred December 23! Around 10 weeks ago started waking in early hours in bad pain chiefly in shoulders and hips but also shooting pains in limbs

Update on ferritin testing issue - private vs. NHS results
Hi everyone. Posting as a new post, rather than add to the long thread on my previous post. https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/150959532/medichecks-vs-nhs-results I have a reply from Medichecks. Hmm... Whilst the info seems to align with what you posted FlipperTD , they don't seem to

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness?

Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score mean under nhs?
I see this on record Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score of ACG 5. What does it mean how does it impact me in any way.? I have started asking for blood tests and my GP has not been happy about it. Surgery has never been keen to blood tests though this seems to have popped up on record

Time between Afib trigger & episode
Hi all, I've very recently been diagnosed with Afib (thanks, Apple Watch for highlighting the problem I'd never heard of) and have been to the GP/hospital since February to get a proper diagnosis.

My question is about the best way of getting a diagnosis of scleroderma or of discounting it?
I was diagnosed recently with Raynaud's disease which can get quite painful, but is manageable. I have GORD and a small hiatus hernia. However I do get abdominal pain and have asthma exacerbated by allergies. I have just had a CT scan and was told the pain is probably musco-skeletal, plus I have an atrophied

In shock, TSH from 20.3 to 0.103!
hello, I posted a while ago as I was getting so concerned at the rate my TSH was increasing, I had increased my levothyroxine gradually to 175mg with no improvement, the last bloods and drs appointment I had I was given instructions to increase to 200mg which I believe is the limit for my weight. by

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines
