Adjusting to new thyroxine dosage
Please could someone help as have recently had my dosage of thyroxine increased after blood tests indicated that it needed to be done. I also managed to have my brand changed back to Goldshield recently. Have been feeling like hell for some time so eventually my GP agreed to have bloods done, thus

B12 deficient - just wanted to share
Hi all, I just wanted to share my story as I've had so many thoughts and concerns rattling around my head these past couple of weeks that I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have had occasional heart palpitations since at least late spring, but didn't really think much of it until a month ago when

Even though I've commented on other posts, this is my first. In July I coughed up blood, saw the GP who organised a chest x-ray. The GP called me an hour after the x-ray to tell me I had a 6cm shadow on my right lung and it could be cancer. After meeting a respiratory consultant, I had CT scan, PET scan

B12 ferritin connection??
I finally had my hematologist appt and was pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable she was! She is very very concerned about my ferritin level, which was 11 when I went in and after she checked it is now 9. She is sending me to an allergist to try to desensitize me to b12 shots (and find out what

any similar experience?
Hello friends, I did a chest X-ray following a bad flu to check for pneumonia which I didn’t have. The x-ray showed a prominent pulmonary artery. My doctor suggested doing an echo which showed a prominent artery as well. I have zero symptoms and I run everyday 7k! I’m scheduled for a CT scan to see what

Shout at the Moon
Today I visited my GP to try to get an iron infusion, following a reading of ferritin level of 58. He said it was a bit low. I reminded him of the research I had shown him last time, which states that levels should be over 100 in RLS patients. Sadly he hadn't read it, wanted to be helpful, but just

Cough cough cough - Methotrexate?
I have PMR/GCA/LVV – all currently under control on 5mg Pred and 25mg MTX. However… I’ve had a terrible cough for three weeks now. Thank the Lord for Tena Ladies! I’ve gone through a bottle of Kovonia from the local pharmacist; a course of Doxycycline 100mg antibiotics from GP1 (telephone consult)

Why ………..
My fit and healthy 48 year old husband sadly passed away on the 6th November 2022. It all began on the 3rd October 2022 when he coughed up some blood that morning whilst brushing his teeth. We got him an appointment that day to see our local GP who after a quick check of his chest was not overly concerned

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?
Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and

Results of recent X-ray-Early signs of COPD non acute
Hello Would firstly like to say I feel for anyone struggling with this disease. I personally feel quite shocked that I have probably got it! I’ve recently been told that my chest X-ray revealed that I have early signs of COPD but that it is non acute. I think I had two Covid infections this year

Just a Little Worried
Hello, I went to the GP in May with a pain in the left-hand side of my chest and some breathlessness. A chest X-ray showed hyperinflated lungs, and a blood test showed elevated amylase levels. I was referred for spirometry to check for COPD, and the GP wrote to a consultant to see if a CT scan

Re testing all patients on b12 injections
I suppose this is just a heads up for anyone in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. I called my new gp surgery (having recently moved house) to book my b12 injection. I was told that I would need blood tests for b12 and intrinsic factor. I explained that these were done in 2017, my b12 was low and intrinsic

Levothyroxine and iron prescription
hi everyone, Just been told I’ve got low iron by the dr from my bloods and was looking online that you can’t take levo and iron together and they have to be taken on an empty stomach. Please can someone confirm is this is correct? Thank you for your help.

A Fib again
I have had a fib for 4 years and been advised it will not damage your heart. Cardiology advise that the terrible tiredness I get is due to something else. I cannot take beta-blockers because they lower my blood pressure, making me ill. Fleccanaide has no effect. Following a chest x-ray, (all clear)

muscle stiffness
Hey guys, I am dealing with some of the side effects of a b12 deficiency. I am still awaiting the results from a blood test, testing for intrinsic factor. Most of my symptoms have improved a lot but I am left with a burning pain all down my leg, off balance and most importantly speech difficulty.

After loading doses
Hello, I finished my loading doses about a month ago now and have been told to get injections every three months. Most symptoms have gone but some have appeared. I have pain in random places throughout the day. Mostly my joints (especially ankle) and in my chest which come and go. I went to the doctors
