Blood tests = Can of Worms. Anaemia or Hyperthyroidism? B12 & Serum Folate too low or OK? Other results all over the place! Any ideas?
Hi All, I have no idea what any of this means, but even I know some of it looks skewiffy! A couple of the results were flagged by the test itself; these are RDW and MCHC which may relate to thyroid function. Also the Serum Folate and B12 look a bit low so may be affecting my thyroid too. Are you able

Bones
Not sure whether to take Advil for bones. Tbh I’m a bit scared. My dexa said no change since 2015 but the Gp keeps saying I MUST take because of being on prednisone. I have some 2 a day pills sorry can’t remember name to take and I was going to take collagen. And also eat lots of calcium rich food. Please

Feel ok at the moment. I had a phone appt with rheumy

Rheumatologist consultation since my original post
Today I have, finally, received a copy of a letter from my Rheumatologist, sent to my GP, following my consultation on the 1st July. Under “Diagnosis” she has written; ?Polymyaglia Rheumatica, ?Ploymyalgic Arthritis. So, apparently, the jury is still out! Under “Medication” she has put; 1. Prednisolone
