Sudden onset poorly controlled asthma
Hi, Sorry it’s a bit of a long story but I am feeling rather lost with what has happened. I was absolutely fine until November maybe odd tight chest and shortness of breath but this could have been anxiety. I am now on GINA step 4 and still poorly controlled. I am waiting to see the specialist, the

B12 levels and hypothyroidism
This is a useful paper showing low B12 is associated with hypothyroidism. Another paper indicating vitamin deficiency that needs treating. And that GP's should know about it. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Front. Endocrinol., 22 February 2023 Sec. Thyroid Endocrinology Volume 14 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389

Chest X Ray results
Hello, I hope everyone is keeping OK. I have had episodes of feeling breathless for several years. I have had numerous tests conducted. I have finally got the results from an X Ray 11 months ago and the results are concerning me. I had a telephone consultation with a doctor who said he had reviewed all

I am still awaiting my first rheumatologist appointment. My labs weren’t awful - ANA & CCP negative, but Rheumatoid factor 191 and slightly elevated Sed Rate and C-reactive protein. I had had very brief (20 seconds or less) bouts of vertigo and 6 falls in 9 months - so my doctor ordered and MRI and

Anemia of Chronic Disease
My recent CBC yielded numbers that suggested I am anemic. My iron levels are normal and my B12 is also normal, albeit in the low range of normal. I was told that I have anemia of chronic disease caused by my thyroid condition (low functioning thyoid, maybe Hashimoto's). Anyone else have experience

Request for more levothyroxine following results from Medichecks
Hi all, I’m very upset as had a conversation ( more like a shouting match to be honest) with GP who is insistent that he won’t prescribe more levothyroxine as I’m within range ( after him asking me to send a copy of my medichecks results) because on my request I stated that I should be prescribed iron

Partner diagnosed with emphysema
Hi all, My partner has just this month been diagnosed with emphysema. He's 64 and I'm 31, we've been together six and a half years, and I suppose I'm just looking for a bit of advice on how to cope with the diagnosis and tips on what I can do to help. He was hospitalised in January with pneumonia and

I have underactive thyroid and other medical problems have been tested in the past as positive for intrinsic factor antibodies and my mother had pernicious anaemia. I have annual blood tests but always told ‘normal’ I wonder though…. My latest result is Serum vitamin B12 level (XE2pf) 288 ng/L [110

Blood test for intrinsic factor. How accurate is it?
Have been well for quite a while on my eight weekly B12 injections but had been referred to a gastroenterologist for worsening IBS . He wants to find out why I have B12 deficiency and has requested I have blood test for intrinsic factor. Just wondering how accurate this is as sure I’ve had before and

pulmonary embolism
good morning everyone. I’ve been poorly with a blood clot in my lung which after 4 doctors 1 paramedic 2 hospital visits they found on a chest X-ray. I had a bad chest infection too which was mimicking the clot. I’ve been on a course of blood thinners and feel completely wiped out. I had my 4 weekly

Mitral Valve Leak
I had an echocardiogram to see if my ejection fraction had improved after starting Dapagliflozin and Eplenernone a few months ago. My ejection fraction then was about 30-35% and he said it is now moderately impaired with an ejection fraction around 41%. Worryingly the mitral valve has leaked

Test results - could someone help please?
Hi! My thyroid is well replaced, but I have been feeling so tired and achy, so I asked my GP to test vitamins. She said all is well. I'm gutted because I feel TERRIBLE. What do you think to these results? Serum Ferritin: 29 (r 20-204) Serum Iron Level: 11.7 (r4.4-27.9) Serum Transferrin: 2.63 (r

TIMING OF 55 MG OF PRED...OR SOMETHING ELSE?
I'm currently on 55 mg. of Pred for what was suspected GCA, but Ophtamology and Rheumy say negative, and having a really difficult time with it. Shakiness, extreme fatigue, exhaustion and weakness. Coordination is off in hands with the shaking, to wear I thought I might actually have Parkinsons or worse

Awful taste in mouth - is this a Sjogren's thing?
Hello - I'm new here! I'm not diagnosed with Sjogren's though I'm fairly sure I have it. I've had symptoms for around 15 years, and I have a family history of RA (with hindsight, I think my mum had Sjogren's too, not just RA, as she had a lot of the dryness symptoms). I've got all the usual symptoms

Chest pain
Hi everyone, Does anyone else suffer with chest pain linked to their endometriosis? I have suffered with random chest pain for years now (I am 20) and this has been happening for over 3 years. My endometriosis is only suspected to be in my pelvic area, but the MRI also checked for any signs of thoracic

Getting closer to some answers
Hello everyone!!! First I want to say what a terrific group this is. I have read many of the previous posts and have found so much inspiration and information!! I’m still waiting for a diagnosis. I had a lumbar puncture last week, along with a chest X-ray and knee X-rays. Saw my internist yesterday,
