Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Zometa side effects
Hello, My new oncologist prefers Zometa to Xgeva so I had my first infusion of this on Monday. Yesterday, Wednesday, was horrible, aches, bone pain, nausea, chills....really just awful all day. I can barely move this morning. Is this from the Zometa? Has anyone had these side effects? The new team

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding

Divver? IBS? Something more sinister?
Back again. Noticed after a few weeks that I was eating fairly normally - always very careful - and not really going to the bathroom as much as I should have. Small soft BMs, after feeling like a huge BM was coming. Also having either hemmerhoid or fissure, fistula issues, but my opening is very sore

Moving Forward - Endometrial Biopsy & Liver Function Tests
Hi, hope everyone is well. So, after speaking with a new clinic they have proposed some more tests, endometrial biopsy and liver function test. I've already had extended panel for immunology bloods done back in Oct. Can anyone share their experience of these tests/ results? Thanks

Recent diagnosis - What was your radiation experience?
Hello, I was just diagnosed with stage 1, non-small cell. I'm debating between the open surgery (the nodule is not in an easy location) or targeting radiation. I'm scared of recovery from the surgery, but I'm also scared of potential long-term side effects from radiation. I'd appreciate hearing your

Eczema around eyes - Any Treatment advice?
Hi! Several months ago I started noticing red marks on my eyelids and above my eyes. This was during an asthma flare up. The doctor has since confirmed it's eczema and it's the first time I've experienced this. I was given Hydrocortisone cream (1%) which I used for 2 courses and this has cleared it up

Is serum folate levels the level of b12?
I received this as a blood result 3 weeks after receiving my b12 injection but I am confused. Does this tell me the level of b12 in my blood or folate? There are no other test results that refer to b12. I am currently suffering very badly with the symptoms of low b12 despite having my 3 monthly injections

Best diet and supplementation guide for hypothyroidism?
Is there a really simple list of vitamins (and best times of day to take them) and a list of foods to avoid when starting out of levothyroxine? I have such brain fog that I'm struggling to compile a plan for myself. I really need to lose the weight I've recently piled on too. Also I have ADHD so I struggle
