Odd Question
Can nerve pathways damaged by MS send false signals back to the brain? I know damaged pathways struggle receiving signals, but can they send lies? For years when it’s cold my throats constricts and I have trouble breathing until warm again. That happened again yesterday. But by night my throat got

Saw my pulmonologist on Tues. “Why haven’t you been using your Cpap?” Me: “Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and it’s hard to breathe. I also have had shortness of breath since I had Covid last June after coming home from our trip.” This led her to have me do a 6 minute walking test - my oxygen didn’t

Atropic gastritis? Symptoms of B12 deficiency?
Hi all. I've been having some concerning symptoms for about 3 months. It all started with random abdominal pains and low back pain. It is now radiating down my groin and into the backs and sides of the thighs. I saw my GP last month as the stomach pains are now very bad, horrible burning pain,

What to expect?
Finger pain and swelling ongoing several months. No functional deficit. Rheumatoid factor mildly elevated and anti-CCP off the scale at >340. No rheumatology appointment yet - only just referred. Am I likely to be prescribed Methotrexate?

Help please to understand my recent tests and what supplements I should be taking.
Recent blood tests following increase 8 weeks ago of levothyroxine to 100mcg daily from 100mcg 3 x a week, 50mcg 4 x a week. Could someone please help me to determine what supplements I should be taking. GP has suggested 1000 units of Vit d. I think my ferritin and possibly folate looks low also.

Latest GP diagnosis is... I’m getting old! I'm 55! Help with next steps please… 😠
Hi everyone. So had my GP follow up since my previous posts. My ferritin is 26, which the GP informs me is the highest it’s been since they tested in 2017. She assures me it's fine as it’s ‘in range’ [10 – 180]. She insists I ‘categorically cannot have low B12 symptoms’ with an ‘above range’ B12

Are my iron levels ok?

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

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

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

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
