Is there an ideal blood request
I've done a quick search but haven't found the answer so wondering if there was the ideal list when getting bloods done. My GP, if I write to her, will pretty much ask me what I want so on top of the full blood count (and the usual thyroid tests I have to have) are there others that need requesting,

The Coimbra Protocol for Treating Autoimmune Diseases
Has anyone here used the Coimbra protocol for treating Hashimoto's? It looks very promising! Antibody levels are brought down. The theory behind it is that patients with autoimmune diseases have cellular resistance to vitamin D. Patients are given large doses of vitamin D (along the lines of 1000 IU

Bit of a Rant
Hi As part of my ongoing dizziness investigations I had a whole raft of blood tests taken mid June. FBC, B12, folate, ferritin, TSH, FT4, electrolytes, kidney function and liver profile.

How do people with PMR bike, garden and hike?
I have PMR and osteopenia but can't lift arms much, typing wears out hands quickly, can't squat. Legs are wobbly. I walk daily for 2-3 km, slowly. Posts often (change to sometimes) talk about folks exercising like I used to, but that doesn't seem possible now. Should I, despite problems listed, push

Heart rate over 100. Should I lower or up my Levo??
Hi I was wondering if someone had any advice on whether or not I should lower or up my Levo dose? I had upped from 100mg to 112.5 mg beginning of June, but my heart-rate just keeps going over 100bpm when I’m not doing anything. I’m still tired and feel as if I just can’t be bothered. I’ve been sitting

What does this mean?!
Hi there - my last scan (2020) showed I have osteoporosis in my L1,2,3 &4. The Tscore was -2.5, meaning a -3.5%change since the 2015 scan (at which point I just had osteopenia in my spine). I also have a 6.5% chance of a “major of a major fracture”. My calcium levels were deemed to be fine but Alendronate
