HiI'm just looking some advice on recent NHS b12 and folate results: B12 284 (197-779) Folate. 4.6 (3-26) Of course GP receptionist said all 'normal " on phone but I have asked for a print out of results and will pick them up tomorrow. I had asked my GP if I could be tested for intrinsic factor

Blue Horizon Results - High Cortisol
Hi, I have just received my results, I took the blood test as I am experiencing symptoms which are not normal for me. Hashimotos is common within my family but I have never had any blood tests which show I have any thyroid issue. I do have PA and self inject - I have the intrinsic factor missing and

PPI complications
I've now had my endoscopy. I wanted to find out what state my stomach was in after taking PPIs (Omeprazol) for over 5 years and an H2 Blocker for 15 years before that (the now withdrawn Ranitidine of carcinogenic fame). What the endoscopy revealed were fundic polyps which are 'accepted' as a standard

Storm in a teacup.
On Tuesday I had overnight chest pain - hx of unstable angina which cardiologist thinks may be small vessel angina, but has not investigated yet. It all started after AVR went wrong 4 years ago, I suffered circulatory collapse post surgery and needed an emergency triple by pass. I ended up with

Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Ectopic beats and sinus tachycardia
Hi all! I wondered if anyone has ever experienced what I have, for years I have had ectopic beats with no other symptoms. 6 weeks ago I went to bed with ectopics, didn’t take much notice as it happens most days, suddenly I woke in the middle of the night feeling out of breathe and very weak a feeling

Breathlessness
hi everyone, I wonder if I could have some advice! I’m having what I assume is a lupus flare (although my pain isn’t as bad as it sometimes gets), my main issue is over the last week I’ve become increasingly breathless. My blood pressure, pulse rate and blood oxygen is all normal. I have no temperature

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

ECG Results
Good news my ECG results are good but GP is still concerned as my heart rate is still slower than they would like so appointment to see GP in a couple of weeks for examination and he said may also have a 24 hour monitor fitted and if that doesn't yield results will need chest x-ray also he said move

Can GPs only test thyroid once a year?
I've had a really irritated (not sore) windpipe and what I term low battery (no power in my muscles) for the past week and finally plucked up courage to battle GP system and report my issue. I've become 'aware' of my front throat area (thyroid) and can now feel it ifkwim. I've got a terrible irritated

Sourcing advice please
Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

just had an appointment to Rheumatologist that was scheduled for last October but cancelled three times. After complaining with pain issues got an appointment and rheumatology has suggested I add Adalimumab to my methotrexate 25 mg injections . Did bloods and chest X-ray whilst I was there. I have

everyday a massive stuggle
I’m struggling so badly with my mental health which in turn affects my physical health. I’m in such a vicious circle and don’t know how to deal with it. I’ve posted so many time and I’m sure I’m getting on everybody’s nerves because I’m getting on my own nerves. Another trip to A&E on Saturday night

Cystocele/Rectocele repair all done
I'm almost 6 weeks after my repair surgery. Recovery not to bad. First two weeks I was warned were crucial and told not to do anything except rest, which I did. Luckily we had hot sunny weather so I literally layed outside sunbathing in-between medication, meals and sleeping. No pain as I kept taking

Pmr for 2nd time!
Hi, just a question for Members who have had PMR twice. Where your symptoms exactly the same the second time. I am feeling very poorly at the moment and am banging my head up against the wall with my Doctor. I feel as if it is PMR again. My ESR is 32. The only difference this time is that my fingers
