Blood results- T3 levels consistent? Can I improve them?
Hello, Despite feeling overall better for some time I started feeling too regularly worse again. I suspected low T3 (perimenopause also possible). Yep, my T3 is on the lower end of ‘normal’. These are my results: TSH 1.53 mlU/L (norm 0.27-4.2) Free T4 15.6 pmol/L. (12.0-22.0) Free

Hi all, I have osteoporosis but no fractures. Consultant says my spine is not bad on my latest MRI. I'm 66. However, he wants me to take Risedronate 35mg starting from now. Worried as I am about potential future breaks, I really don't want to take it, mainly because of the possible side effects. I already

Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

I put it down to the methotrexate but recently I forgot the folic acid & took it late. I got all the side effects straight after the folic acid so

What should your resting heart rate be?

"What Should Your Resting Heart Rate Be?
If you consult online with the Mayo Clinic, they will tell you that a normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 bpm. While this may be a typical resting heart rate, it is certainly

Feeling rather blue
So I've been at a fairly useless clinic for the past 5 years - managed 2xICI and 1 egg collection with 2 embryos at the end. All chemicals/ failures. I had a consultation with one of the consultants about my treatment. He dismissed any supplements other than folic acid and vitamin D. Said my AMH (12.07

osteoporosis following pmr
my pmr diagnosis coincided with the start of lockdown so I never saw a doctor. I was eventually prescribed pred and omeprazol over the phone in May 2020 and thankfully managed to taper down to zero by early 2023 after major abdominal surgery. All seems fine for now but my new Gp was shocked that I never

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr
