Reference ranges
A quick question while you're having your cornflakes ( or fasting for a blood test 😊) if anyone knows the answer: Every day there are posts from people whose TFTs are within the reference range for the lab. And every day there are comments along the lines of 'your TSH / T3 / T4 should be higher [u]

How am I supposed to feel
Diagnosed in August last year with u/a thyroid. Put on 25mgs, two blood tests and told to come back in years time for another test. My question is after taking pill at 7am and waiting hour for food/drink am I supposed to get some benefit from the pill, because nothing happens and still feel weary and

I had a blood test which showed raised levels of ALP 136, Aspartate Transaminase 68. My GP said that my RA meds have caused damage to my liver!!! I am having a liver fibroscan tommorrow to check for fatty liver. Very anxious but will need to take it one step at a time. Any guidance and advice welcome

Hi everyone, so, I have had a telephone call from the pharmacist attached to my GP surgery this morning to discuss my recent blood test results. These bloods did not include thyroid as this was only tested last month and I received the results and all was ok. TSH 0.15/ T4 - 22.00/ T3 - 4.6I feel ok

Blood test results regarding magnesium - thank you everyone for advice
I posted previously about my mum’s anxiety and how she has been struggling with it for months now. After a lot of advice from this group, I requested that the GP checks her magnesium and thyroid so thank you to everyone who advised me to get this checked . Her results have shown that thyroid is fine.

Need advice on getting diagnosis
Hello, I am looking for advice for my sister. In October of 2023 she fell down the stairs and injured her tailbone. She did not go to A and E, which in hindsight was a mistake. At first she was experiencing severe pain in her tailbone/coccyx and could not sit down for very long. After several weeks

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos

cerebella’s atrophy
I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2019. I’ve had regular bi annual scans and a liver biopsy, which have confirmed that the scarring in the liver is no better nor any worse. However I’ve not been feeling too good for the past few months and my GP kept fobbing me off with blood tests (even though

What next? Thyroid?
I am looking for some advice before I go back to the GP next week, and I feel 'safe' asking it here. First some background might help: I live in Australia- GPs and their nursing staff here are no better educated than elsewhere the world, but fortunately we can buy hydroxycobalamin over the counter

T3 and endo advice needed / East Sussex
Hi, am really struggling to get T3 medication. I asked for an NHS referral to Sunil Z but got declined due to being out of area. I live in Brighton and he's Surrey and Sussex NHS. Can they just decline like this? I don't have limitless funds to do endless private blood tests and consultations. The cost
