Hi there! I'd love to test all my vitamin and mineral levels (including selenium etc.), but have been a bit frustrated as there doesn't seem to be any remotely affordable way to do it privately. Medichecks offers an advanced vitamins and minerals check, but it only includes A, B1, B2, B6, B12, D, E,

I’m just back from a consultation with a private Endocrinologist that I had high hopes for. The reason for my visit was to discuss my calcium and PTH levels which are consistently on the low side. She seemed so thorough and interested and on the ball, until she saw that my TSH was suppressed and that

hi all, currently on 7 mg pred and feeling Ok. I sometimes get small aches and stiffness but similar to what i would get from desk working and before pmr I'd think I just need exercise ... not sure if bad to wait and see if it gets worse? Also I started with very efficient trainee GP but shes gone,

Hi everyone ❤️ Although this post is not about my thyroid / parathyroid journey it's about the absolute incompetence of NICE...I'm on a great parathyroid site and our lovely lady on there who set the site up as fought constantly for us paratroopers to have the nice guidelines changed in respect to the

Hi. I was hoping may help me understand these results. The gp phoned to say results are back in range but tsh still low and need to see endriconolgy. I have a appointment on the 21st. I've been taking 20mg of carbimazole. At diagnosis on 24/9/24 T3 16.50 (3.1-6.8) T4 32.3 (11.0- 23.0) TSH 0.01

I had a random blood test and my Vitamin D level was through the floor. I had high dose Vit D and blood tests to monitor this and and catch any spike in calcium blood levels. It went back to normal levels and I supplement daily. I researched this and there is a medical paper on it, some people on warfarin

This is my first post, apart from responses to others. I had an accident in 2020 and fractured my left hip which required a full hip replacement. This was my first indication that I had osteoporosis as I had a follow-up Dexa scan. I was put on Alendronic acid and calcium and vitamin D tablets. In January

I had an appointment with a new rheumy, who reviewed past hip and pelvic X rays, and a head CT scan. 2017 and 2022 respectively. On these he could see, and pointed out to me, calcium pyrophosphate crystals around my left hip, symphysis pubis, and around the dens. (Apparently I have crowned dens syndrome

I started my PMR in mid July 2024 and eventually was put on Preds by my GP on 27 August. Unfortunately my GP overlooked that I’m on Phenytoin for epilepsy and after 5 weeks I still had a lot of symptoms. I did some research and I now take the preds in the morning and the phenytoin in the evening and

Hi, I’ve been on a Vitaman B12 and Vitamin D+K protocol for a while and thought I was doing okay. I started the Vitamin D protocol properly at the beginning of August. I did dabble with a bit of magnesium, but not really taking very much apart from food sources. Fast forward to beginning of October
