Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. I’ve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - I’m not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

Pneumonia
Hi. I had my follow up chest x-ray for pneumonia 3 weeks ago and the good news is that it's come back clear. I'm really pleased but I'm still coughing at night and feel a bit breathless in the mornings. I told the doctor when he rang me with the results and he said, the infection has gone but lungs take

Conjecture
I use conjecture as part of my creative process. Thing is I do not pretend it is anything but conjecture. Using those who share their experience on this forum it seems to me that of the three forms readily commercially available Methylcobalamin has the most profound effect. As a person who is not

iron results
I’d appreciate some feedback on my iron panel results please? I know my ferritin is too low, even if it’s above the bottom of the range. I upped how much black pudding, pate, or liver I’m eating at 5 out of 7 days a week for over a couple of months. Is my iron too decent enough to be able to take

Mini Stroke Post Heart Attack
Hi folks Was just wondering if this has happened to anyone? I’ve had a couple of “funny turns” recently and a particularly bad one on Thursday evening which ironically was exactly one year to the day since my HA. Ended up in A&E all night getting various tests. ECG, bloods x 2 (initial troponin

Supplements
Hi lovely people. Just a question. In the past, I have had v low iron, folate rock bottom and prob other vitamins low that I never had checked. I have worked a lot on my micro biome/gut this past year plus supplementing continuously. I cut out gluten as leaky gut was diagnosed through a test.

RE iron tablet recommendations
Hi again I have to get my iron levels up.. I have one perscription from my GP for 305 mg Caps Ferrous fumurate (but when I go to the pharmacies here they only have Galfer which has sooo many horrible ingredients, some of which have been banned in Australia, some euro countries)... And my private Endo

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2014. Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off prednisone but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare. I live in France and it seems PMR is not as common

High B12 - more tests needed?
My SO has several anaemia symptoms - pallor, breathlessness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea etc. GP says the bloodwork is OK despite family history of PA. Blood tests (GP & Medichecks) so far show haemoglobin & MCH a bit below range, haematocrit & MCH low but in range. Serum B12 is consistently high (latest

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

So girding my loins, GP's in morning,
So have an appointment with GP at 11 am tomorrow. Now this was supposed to be about pain/discomfort ? RA. Of course they are bit sneaky and lots of other tests were included, but we aren't daft are we, we check first. So Thyroid bloods , TSH 0.01 (0.27-4.20) FT4 21.6 (12-22) as usual no FT3

Iron blood test - definitive list
I got my recent blood test back, haven’t yet posted all results to my profile, but my ferritin was rock bottom (7 out of 7-271 range) so I’m going to get a full iron test before I share all the numbers here and decide my next med change. What should I ask for: Iron Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC

Chillblains
I have SLL and recently have had a few occurrences of Chillblains, my son is a Consultant Haematologist and tells me haematological malignancy is a common link and this paper links it to SLL, https://bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12895-015-0032-z. I can cope with this keeping hands

FINALLY found a scientific study that supports my theory about Brain Iron and Serum Iron. Finally!!!
First, the relevant quote from the article: “The serum iron concentration was significantly higher in the RLS group than in the control group, but remained within normal ranges in both groups. In this study, there was a significant correlation between serum and CSF iron concentrations, both in the RLS

Good PMR specialist in Bristol/WestonSM?
GP diagnosed me with PMR in May 2022. I had difficulties reducing below 18mg so she referred me to a consultant at Bristol Royal Infirmary. He is very kind and sympathetic but refuses to confirm the diagnosis of PMR. He says I am too young - I’m 56 - and he’s run every test in the book on me (MRI, PET

Follow up x-ray pneumonia
Hi everyone. I rang my surgery today to see if my follow up chest x-ray results were in. I had possible pneumonia diagnosed 4 weeks ago, apparently the 'possible' meant that the mass on my x-ray was tiny, anyway the surgery said my results were in and I had to make a telephone consultation appointment

b12 iron relationship?
Hi friends…I was diagnosed with a b12 deficiency in June, which is thankfully improving with injections (I had horrible neuro symptoms). I had my iron tested twice over the summer, both well in the good range (over 100). However, this week I had an iron panel showing my iron is 40 (literally the bottom

Iron deficiency
Hello I’m asking a question with regards to low ferritin levels (17.4). I’m confused whether I should be prescribed folic acid or iron?!
