What tests to do next?
Hi, I am not diagnosed but something is just not right! I had some blood tests done in December and was told to come back after 3 months or so if symptoms persist. So what test should I get this time? What should I ask for? Blood tests from December: Tsh 1.55 (0.25-5) T4 free 13.67 (9-20) T3 free 3.67

I was able to lower this by taking 2 supplements my doctor recommended and avoid medications. I need to lose 24

New test results...Advice needed
Hello again, It has been a few months since my last post and at that time my thyroid levels were looking good, after surgery to remove half my thyroid, but I was not feeling well. I just had my labs done again this week and I am a bit perplexed. So I am hoping that the HU members can shed some light

Just had my first results, due to talk to Dr tomorrow, though I suspect she will just talk about Total cholesterol level of 5 levels at 5. Serum free T4=11pmol/L Serum TSH level=3.41mU/L Can anyone point as to where I can see how these fall into a 'normal' range, and whether I should be asking for a

Hello guys! Hope everyone is making progress with their journey to health. I have had a hard few years since my last pregnancy and recently I decided to take more of an active role in my health journey. My last blood results came in and it seems as if I could have pernicious anemia. I am currently away

Shake Weight took my Statin muscle pains away.
I went from Simviatatin, to Crestor, to Lipitor for 2+ years, depending on what my insurance is willing to pay for. Then 8 months ago my doctor changed to Atorvistatin. I started experiencing shoulder pain and memory loss. If not for a pharmist who warned me of the serious side effects of statins, I

Want to Know Your Risk of a Heart Attack? Get this test.
The way the medical establishment assess risk of CVD or a potential heart attack or stroke is antiquated. They use levels of LDL-C cholesterol as their primary indicator along with a probability ranking based on risk factors like smoking. There are blood tests that can shed more light on your current
