High Ferritin & more weird symptoms
Hello dear people, A month ago I was having weird heart-ish chest pain, but the EKGs and ER bloodwork did not indicate heart problems, so I've been trying to figure out what's going on. I got two rounds of blood work. Almost everything is in range, but notably, my ferritin was high! 409 (range 15

Greetings
Hello all. I joined this forum today as my doctor has told me I need to get from 87kg, 13.7st, 191.8lb to 70kg. That is a loss of 17kg, 2.7st, 37.5lb. This is assuming my conversions are correct. Recently I was diagnosed with Diabetes T2, Metabolic Syndrome, and Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome

Advice re Statins
A few years back I was was started on Simvastatin as a random blood test showed that my overall cholesterol was in the 7s. Some time later my GP changed this to Atorvastatin as my cholesterol remained high. I then developed terrible anxiety, which everyone said was unrelated to the Atorvastatin, but

Fasting Insulin.
The latest Life Extension magazine has a lead article on fasting insulin. With insulin resistance, the pancreas produces increased amounts of insulin (as long as the beta cells hold out.) This is refected in fasting insulin levels. Glucose and A1c may look normal when the above strategy is working

Life expectancy
Hello everyone, I was under the impression that AF did not lower life expectancy providing we stay anti-coagulated but it seems I've been living under a misapprehension. I've just filled out the NHS online "heart age" calculator to determine my risk of heart attack or stroke. I am 76 but my heart age

Advice on blood results please- why no improvement in T3?
hi everyone, advice welcome for my recent Medichecks test please. I introduced 6.5mcg of T3 in September and took my levo down to 75/100 on alternate days, I hoped this would increase my % of T3 as I am a poor converter and have two copies of faulty DIO2 gene. I also hoped this increase in T3 would

Potential underactive thyroid
hi, I’ve had to go private for fertility investigations after loss and have had some more intensive thyroid testing done after the NHS advised no concerns. I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance based on my results as I’m quite lost with what to do/where to go next. TSH levels Oct 2019:

Latest Bloods - Dr requested a review
An update after my last post in February. Dr put my Levo up by 25mcg, so I have been taking 125mcg per day since the beginning of March. Due to no appts, I’ve eventually got the bloods done that I requested through the GP. They’ve just texted me a routine appt for May, after the Dr has reviewed my results

High Cholesterol
HiI had a thyroid blood test last week. The doctors receptionist rang yesterday to say my Cholesterol was high and the doctor had asked her to ask if I was taking the medication. I was taken aback when she said the doctor would like to speak to me but the earliest phone appointment was in 3 weeks.
