interstitial cystitis
Hi, I am convinced I have got interstitial cystitis- if so… how long until diagnoses? I’ve had millions of urine samples, some sent to lab, I’ve had clear renal blood tests and I’ve had thorough examinations of down below and my back etc. is the last thing a scan? And what type? How much more prodding

Salazopyrin
Hi advice on Salazopyrin I've been taking Salazopyrin for some months with regular blood tests. Inflammatory arthritis and colitis. All was going well until I received a phone call to say stop taking them because my last blood test showed a problem with red blood count. I've googled excessively until

Bit confused, latest test results now on Erfa. Could I have an unstable thyroid??
Hi helpful thyroid community. I’ve been on Erfa now for 3.5 months I did another blood test Monday and just have results thru. I’m now taking 60mg very early morning and 30mg lunch time (so timing not ideal if this to keep away from eating!) The October test was just after I upped the doseage from original

GP wont prescribe Hydroxycobalamin until further blood tests conducted despite neuro involvement.
Good morning.I've found this forum out of desperation having experienced what I now know are symptoms of B12 deficiency for a few years. After repeated B12 levels over the years which consistently showed my levels dropping (treatable since 2021 in some parts of the country) they were finally low enough

Advice on ‘normal’ test results
Hi I’ve recently joined and wanted some guidance on blood tests that my doctors are saying need no action. I went struggling with neck pain and neurological symptoms and they ordered full bloods. In the last two years I’ve gained a huge amount of weight, my face is puffy, and I’ve struggled with running

Another update….high platelets….
Just a quick recap and an update on my latest appointment…. I have been under the care of an Haematologist for two years now, referred by my GP for consistently high platelet counts found during routine blood tests. Platelets usually around 565, highest being 622. I have no symptoms although I do also

Phone-call from receptionist today
Only just joined and not sure where to begin as I feel as if I’m in shock a little and desperately trying to find out information. I had a phone call from the drs receptionist this afternoon to tell me I have hypothyroidism after some blood tests and needed to pick up a prescription which I would need

white capsules vs pink/green capsules Hydroxycarbamide
Hi all Have any of you had the plain white capsules of Hydroxycarbamide instead of the Pink/Green capsules ? I’ve been taking the pink/green capsules made by Bristol Myers Squibb for several years with increased doses from time to time. Earlier this year my dose was increased to 3x500mg Friday Saturday

Recent blood test
My latest test shows Thyroid Stimulating Hormone at 0.12 and Free T4 22.6, I am currently on 100 mgs. Why is the first below range and the second above range?

Rheumatology
Having read several times on here, it would seem that most people have had regular blood tests and rheumatology appointment. I have been on high dose steroids for PMR, for around 2 years. I am gradually cutting this right down to 3mg. I have never seen a rheumatologist, my doctor doesn't think it is

Pain and frustration 😟
Hello everyone, Having finally dropped from 5mg to 4.5mg I am now in my fourth week. I have no shoulder or arm pain and was beginning to feel like I’ve finally cracked the 5mg barrier(third time lucky). I’ve had PMR for 2years and 9 months. However, my legs feel in constant pain and I don’t feel

Following on from my post towards the end of last year I am still in a similar position. Various scans continue to show some type of abnormality that the doctors are not sure about, mainly linked to my 'deranged blood test results' and dilated bile ducts ("extra-hepatic bile duct is dilated, measuring

new blood test results - should I increase? NDT
hello all, I am on NDT and got my new blood results. They are as followed: TSH: 0.13 (0.27-4.20) Ft3: 3.10 (2.00-4.40) Ft4: 0.96 (0.93-1.70) Test was done 9 am. Last dose NDT was 24h before (1.75 grain - taken all in one). Do you think I should increase my dose of NDT? Or should I stay on
