At a loss and feeling ill
Went to Drs yesterday to request a referal to an endo, as I feel unwell, weak and wobbley - for well over a year now. I told him that I had paid for a private blood test to check my t3 levels, as the Nhs doesn't like doing them that often, and he totally refused to look at them. Said that, if theyre

Endo finally tested FT3! Thoughts?
At my last endo appt early Dec, the consultant kept his same stance that my blood tests were all in range and my symptoms were all due to perimenopause. He said there was slight room for a small increase in levothyroxine so ive gone from 125x5/100x2 to 125x6 /100x1 and told me to speak to my gp and

REPLIES TO MY POST RE ACCESS TO BLOOD TEST ON INE.
I am overwhelmed by all the extremely helpful replies to my query from my “ blood brothers and sisters” on MPN Voice. I am about to try PKB initially as I did register with them some time ago but didn’t get very far then. If this doesn’t work, I will definitely try all other suggestions and want to thank

UK paid £160 per patient for GP care 2022 That is no different really to many other countries So where is the problem Aside form al that Lets say a patient comes in with 40 to 50% of B12D symptoms. . .. . Dont do a blood test . . . . . Save at least £30 with that but give them a B12 jab

Blood test
Gp refuses to prescribe T3 as previously prescribe my old gp and refuses to increase T4 as apparently my thyroid result is normal ( I don't have one ) no mention of the T3 10 mcg plus T4 75mcg what's the point of this ? Apparently this abundant in detail result shows I don't need an increase in T4

PET scan results and thoughts please :-)
Hello everyone. I haven’t posted for a while and I hope you are all keeping well. I recently had a PET scan which showed absolutely no inflammation in my body and no tumours. The scan was done because I cannot seem to get below 5mg of Prednisolone without flaring and the rheumatologist felt there

Post nstemi.. liver bloods?
So in December 2023 I had an nstemi (have a stent fitted).Today I went for a blood test to check my cholesterol levels, kidneys and liver function. I assume because of all the meds I'm on. This evening I get a text to say to book a "routine appointment" with my GP to discuss liver bloods. I rang and

Hep B immunity blood test positive
Hi all I was asked by my clinic to do a Hep B core blood test which I believe is same as immunity one and I asked my GP for the tests. It’s come back as not immune to hep b. Does that mean I won’t be entitled to a donor egg treatment? I’m freaking out 😟 Please share your thoughts and experience

Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

Raynauds and Hypermobility
Hello, I've been diagnosed with primary Raynauds which is getting worse. I've had blood tests to rule out other conditions, but they've all been negative. Should I be pushing for a nailfold capillorthingy (technical term...)? I've also got colitis, irritable bladder, some joint hypermobility so I'm

Things not happening is a blessing in disguise
Nowadays I look back and feel that not having got those places in the inner city was a blessing in disguise as I wouldn't have been happy there and the rents there have got absolutely ridiculous and that really really would have hurt to have got one of those places that was nice and affordable at first

High ALT
Hello I recently had a full blood test as I have been having on going muscle pains, all my results came back OK apart from my ALT levels. They were 20ul 3 weeks ago and 67ul yesterday. All my other liver functions were in the normal range. Is this something to be worried about? I do have a doctors appointment
