Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

PMR... back on 20mg
Thanks everyone for replies and suggestions after my post last Monday. Saw my GP on Tuesday, we discussed the pain, stiffness and fatigue I was experiencing since tapering off prednisone late last year. She agreed I should start at 20mg day, after bloods for Crp and ESR. The results: Crp 3 and ESR

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

Follow up call with Endocrinologist
This week I have a follow up call with my endocrinologist, I only see them when they want to see me so I'm very anxious to make sure I don't miss anything. Last time I saw them was the first time I saw them, they asked if I felt better from my symptoms of graves with the medication, I told them I did

Iron deficiency
After blood tests showed low ferritin and other values indicating iron deficient anaemia, the NHS did a fairly thorough job over 6 months with various tests and procedures to eliminate internal bleeds as a cause ( anticoagulant doesn't help!). Finally given the all clear and advised that iron supplementation

Could Someone Explain The TTGIgA Test Please?
Hello! I have recently had some blood tests done due to low vitamin B12 and long term issues with iron deficiency. My GP did some tests to rule out Celiacs as a cause, and I just wondered if somebody could explain the Tissu Transglutaminase IgA test please - my result came back at 0.4 (range 0-6.9) I

Possible Malar rash
Hello because of symptoms I am suffering, my GP has referred me to rheumatology, neurology, and dermatology to see what the possible cause is. And I was wondering if this could possibly be a malar rash caused by lupus. I know it can’t be properly confirmed unless by a biopsy/blood tests but I was wondering

TSH 3.88
Hi My recent blood test result showed my TSH is 3.88 and the receptionist said the doctor had left a note saying “tell patient normal” (which is what they always say). My question is…is it normal? I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2001 and have been on thyroxine ever since. Lately I’ve been struggling

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

Hi all, I haven’t posted in a while. I am after some thoughts on results really.. I am based in the UK. Diagnosed in Oct 2022 after a chance blood test for something else. A familiar story from what I have read. A specialist at the time said I was a bit early for the disease! I’m now nearly 50. I
