Help with results before seeing GP
Hope you can help with my latest results. I currently take 25mcg thyroxine and have for a while. I am due to see my GP in a couple of days and as I still feel like crap, have really bad sleep pattern awake most of the night and asleep half the day. I had low potassium 3.3 (3.5-5.30) but had prescription

Help deciphering DNA and blood test results please anyone?
Long post alert. Apologies. I had thyroid cancer in 2013 treated with surgery, RAI and ongoing TSH suppression. Due to DNA results showing a likely problem with conversion (although bloods always normal) I recently upped T3 to 40mcg and lowered T4 to 100mcg. I actually feel worse. I'm also Homozygous

The reality is: there is HDL (which comes from our diet) and LDL which is made by our liver. Both are essential for our health. Problems arise when HDL is low and can't manage to 'ball

Atorvastatin
I have been on Atorvastatin once daily for 8 months. I am on a "diet" that excludes animal products, i.e. "bad" cholesterol containing foods. My cholesterol level has gone down in this period from 5.3 with a reduction in dosage to 40mg 3 months ago. I had a cholesterol test last week and it has gone

Hi. I’ve been diagnosed an underactive for a few years now and am taking levothyroxin (75mg) . I often feel like there is a lump in my throat - not always, it comes and goes - but often feel tired. A few years ago I did an adrenal saliva test that showed I had adrenal fatigue. I am menopausal. My GP

Anxiety or high blood pressure
So my dummy self has convinced myself that I have high blood pressure. Every time I manage to check my blood pressure it's high. But I feel that way only when I'm about to check it or the thought of checking it. But I also feel anxious all the time. When I see my doctor I give him my readings for me
