Blood results - please decipher for me
Below is my last lot of bloods done in July 2017. I have no idea what most of it means. I see my cholesterol is a little high which is a bit of a concern. Can someone please tell me if these all look good? I would like to be in the "optimal" range, not just the "normal" range. I am 36. Got diagnosed

Still ticking after stopping treatment
It has been five days since I stopped all treatment. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I have my old energy back, went for a walk today for the first time in many months. Worked around the house and my head feels like it used to...bright. This is so nice after months of fatigue, low

Hashimotos - Stopped Levothyroxine + Prescribed Chinese Herbs + Sleeping Earlier
Hiya, Was told a couple of years ago that I have hashimotos and have NEVER had symptoms known for it. I stopped taking Levothyroxin a month ago as it was making me feel horrible - stressed along with crazy weird vivid dreams. Since stopping am feeling great and still not experiencing these effects. Just

Modern lifestyle diseases, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS), may lead to many complications, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease. They also accelerate the aging processes. Appropriate dietary interventions may help to regulate glucose and energy metabolism

Lp-Pla2 lowering through statins
If you have VERY HIGH Lp-Pla2 then statins combined with ezetimibe would seem to be the best option because they work. BUT there is the problem of side effects...other methods would appear to be very high dose Omega 3 (8 gms?) but this takes time and all the time you're walking around with very high

My Doctor Says…
'Any improvement in blood
cholesterol
levels and insulin
management
would be due to weight loss, not the change in composition.' -Another red herring. As long as it happens, that's a desirable outcome; if it's due to aliens arriving to administer liposuction, who cares?

Should I worry about my cholesterol?
I've read a lot of material over the years (including Dr Malcolm Kendrick's book, "The Great Cholesterol Con") supporting the idea that cholesterol isn't necessarily the demon that we've all been led to believe that it is. It's therefore not something that I've particularly worried about. I should probably

Help with results please?
I'm living in Spain now and have just received the results of my latest blood test. I remembered not to take my meds but unfortunately I forgot that I should have had T3 12 hours before so the results won't be correct. Here goes anyway! T3 total 1.02 ng/ml (0.59-2.00) This was in bold and underneath

Help with blood work
Hi all, This is my first time posting here. Apologies in advance for the long post. Just over a year ago I had my thyroid removed for cancer. I originally had problem with just being on thyroxine alone, but thankfully I had a GP who prescribed me a combination of Armour (90mcg) and Thyroxine (50mcg
