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?

Advice needed on iron/ferritin levels please
I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise on whether I need to be concerned about my iron/ferritin levels. I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow and want to be well informed. I have results from my last three blood tests so hopefully that might help. Serum iron level: October 2023 - 7.7 umol/L; January

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

Am I now hyperthyroid? Still struggling to loose weight
Hi all, So doctor increased my levothyroxine dose to 75mcg once a day a few months back (on my request). He told me bloods were fine. Had a blood test last week to check dosage. TSH 0.09m/uL (only one they checked) Is this now too low? I'm still really struggling to lose weight. Sleeping much better

Newbie to this community and wondering about B12 deficiency
Hello, for the past 4 years I've had symptoms of CFS, plus low FT4 and on occasions, low TSH. I've also had my cortisol tested by saliva and short synacthen test, both showed low levels but the adrenals work when stimulated so it's not Addisons. I've tried levothyroxine, T3 and thyroid glandulars and

Revisiting the Zoledronic acid pros & cons
Hi folks, I was offered zoledronic acid two years ago and was so freaked out by possible side effects that I declined. At the time I was at a much lower dose of Pred and naively thought I would be off it by now, that my calcium absorption would return to normal and I'd be able to rebuild my bones naturally

Trying out T3 - The first blood test is due
I know this question has been asked many times in one way or another. Here it comes again: My conversion is not good, and even with a nearly suppressed TSH and fT4 is in the upper half through the reference range, the fT3 is lingering in the lower end. The symptoms are minor but annoying, and I believe
