ferritin high
hello. I’m new to the group I’ve had under active thyroid for approx 2 years diagnosed during covid. I was just told over the phone you need thyroxine it’s sent to the chemist and that’s all the info I got. I’ve had another blood test as my shoulders and hips are in almost constant discomfort all that

A very unwelcome visitor
I posted in January about being discharged from hospital cardiology after I declined a second ablation because I’d been AF free for over 12 months. Unfortunately, last Saturday AF appeared out of the blue! I only discovered it by chance as I was not aware of any pulse issues. I had a slight headache

Results of blood test
Hi, after OH had high Tsh Levels a couple of weeks a go (radioactive iodine 14 tears a go) gp prescribed higher dose of thyroxine - now 175Results from medicheck above Low vit d - would this affect the thyroxine absorption? If he sorts that would it then be sensible to reduce the thyroxine back down

Inflammation and RLS
I have always believed that inflammation was part of my RLS. I believe this because my RLS responds well to ibuprofen. A recent blog was using this study http://www.smj.org.sg/sites/default/files/SMJ-57-514.pdf The study is from 2016. The study proposes to use the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio

Prep For Thyroid Blood Test?
Hi folks. I’m sending off a blood test next Monday for FT3, FT4, TSH, anti-Tg, anti-TPO and want to prepare properly for taking the bloods. I’ve taken in doing it before 9am, drink only water. But unsure about vits, I’m taking Fish Oil, magnesium, B Complex, D3+K. I also SI B12. I think I heard one

Rise in CA 125
I had a blood test today which shows my CA 125 has risen from 260 to 380. I’ve read that normal range is considerably lower so should i be concerned? Will obviously speak to my oncologist but not sure when. Thanks in advance J

Thyroid results-Hashimotos?
Hello, Looking for some help in interpreting thyroid results. I've been testing privately over the last two years. Does this show Hashimotos and would it be enough for a GP to take seriously? Since having my son three years ago I've had many unexplained symptoms - weight gain, swollen legs, fatigue,

Private blood test providers
hello My nutritionist suggested recently that Medichecks blood tests are possibly not as good as they might be. Not sure what this is about, but can anyone suggest some other UK private blood testing facility that is reliable? Thank you

Blood test percentages over years.
[i]This is an amazing forum. Thank you so much to the admin team and the people who've taken the time to reply to my previous posts. I'd be lost without you [/i]🙏 One of the most important things that I've learnt on here is to work out the percentage through the range with respect to blood tests. With

vegan, thyroid test & iodine
hello I have symptoms of hypothyroidism but haven’t been diagnosed. I have a thyroid function blood test in 1 week. I am vegan and take an iodine supplement as I don’t eat seaweed or use iodised salt. Should I continue to take my iodine tablet up till the test date or should I stop taking it?

Update re blood test
Hi everyone, I've been given my cholesterol results and told my thyroid results are normal. T4 - 12.1 TSH - 3 Do you agree these results are normal? I wasn't given ranges or anything. I'm undecided whether or not to get private tests done to get a full picture. My doctor doesn't seem encouraging about

Post heart attack
Hello again, I posted on here a few months back regarding my husbands palpitations. Things have moved on a bit since then , he has been having random chest pain and saw the doctor, he reassured him that the pain was most likely muscle strain … not sure about that . He had recent blood tests as he is
