Thyroid dysfunction and neutropenia-linked?
good afternoon all, Just out here confused and feeling alone so thought I’d reach out. Feel like once you’re referred to a specialist your GP ceases to have an opinion! saw private Endo few weeks ago who stopped Carbimazole due to neutropenia. If you look back at previous post you can see my results

Iron infusion
I had an iron infusion. Finished it last week. My ferritin was 44 prior to infusion. I have to have a blood test to see if it went up. Just curious how long before you feel better. I still feel the same, very tired. Came off mirapex a month ago and waiting for my dr. to give me a new medication.

Test results..
My mum had her blood tests and for the first time since she was diagnosed with ET her platelets are within normal range. She is taking Hydroxyurea.. The only issues the tests show are slightly lower white cell count and low hematocrit around 36. Are these side effects of the medication?Thank you for

Lab Cut Backs (blood testing)!
I've read on here numerous times about people being refused T3 tests because "we're not allowed to test that any more" etc etc. Clearly appalling when trying to get a full picture of what's going on with your thyroid. I've just spoken to the GP about some other blood tests I'm having done tomorrow (

Hashimoto's TSH reducing with VitD and potential lactose intolerance

should I be having regular bloods to check on various functions
Hello. A thought recently. I am no longer under rheumatology which my GP knows as they had the same letter I did “can do no more for me as I won’t take methotrexate” yet my prescriptions still state. “Reducing as rheumatology” therefore I think the GP assumes I’m being monitored by them. I’m not and

Understanding Thyroid Test Results
This is the first time I have posted on this site. I have had hypothyroidism for 17 years now and had yearly blood tests. I must admit I have never understood what the result has meant other than the GP saying it's satisfactory. My recent test was Serum TSH level 2.14 mu/1. This means nothing to me and

I helped a long term sufferer today
Got chatting recently to a lady on FB who lives in my town. She happened to mention that she is hypo and been on meds for about 6yrs. Funnily enough she is registered with the same GP Surgery as me. Anyway she was complaining that she was always so tired and achy etc and I asked what dosage she was

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

Amiodarone
I have been taking this drug since October 23 after a failed CV last July and the only side effects seem to be sensitivity to sunlight and some sleep disturbance. All blood tests come back within normal levels. I noticed at the beginning of April that my HR was back to normal levels even with a resting

Lower stomach pain
Hi all. I am looking for advice as I’ve just had a rather underwhelming telephone conversation with a GP about stomach pain. To summarise, I had really bad problems with my back stating mid January. Was put on Naproxen and Ibuprofen gel and briefly (about 10 days) Baclofen 10 mg. I was already on Lansoprazole

Optimal vitamin levels?

Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts

Elderly mum exhausted, overweight, unmotivated, yellow tinge skin on sides of face
Hello, I'm really struggling trying to get the GP to sort my mum out. She's nearly 88yrs old and in the last few years has put on an excessive amount of weight, she was a size 12, now she is almost a 20! She is absolutely exhausted, just says she has no energy at all and barely gets dressed each day
