Radiation CAT scan mapping
I’m starting radiation and scheduled for CAT scan mapping of pelvic floor. Any advice on how to ensure maximum accuracy of this process? The clinic wants me to take gas-x and milk of magnesia a week prior. Assume this is to prevent full bowels to ensure that the mapping is accurate and won’t affect

Iron and B12 deficiency
Had a massive realisation after getting a diagnosis of ME and not feeling like it fit/refusing to accept it. As we all are, I'm just trying to piece together this puzzle as GPS dont seem to bother Now realise I have chronically low FERRITIN. Doctors only look at the serum iron (similar to how they

It was 13 years ago I had my Heart Attack, I seem to be well stabilised on my present drug regime having been under the hospital Cardiologist for 2 years as a chest X ray for breathing problems then showed up the chance of heart failure. Luckily it was a false alarm and with adjustments to my drugs was

so worried about results
hi all well to cut a long story short, I had a terrible chest infection all of December, 3 lots of antibiotics and steroids which eventually cleared it all up. Had a sputum test which came back ok, but the doctor wants to talk to me about my chest X-ray. I have convinced myself that it is something nasty

Lansaprazole
My GP prescribed this PPI a month ago. I have been coughing since before Christmas, when I had a virus of some sort, not covid. My chest X-ray is clear but I did think it might be my thyroid being irritable? Or reflux. I’m on 75mcgs levothyroxine and my tsh was 1 point something quite low on last

Flare up after a pretty settled period
Two years ago I had a massive flare and was in a lot of pain / extreme fatigue. I was on prednisolone which was like a magic cure initially and then caused a host of gastric problems. I also trialled methotrexate tablets and methotrexate injections and really struggled with the side effects. After about

alkaline phosphatase
So I read somewhere after googling can cancer be detected on regular CMP panel because I had a CMP panel in October 2021 (normal) and then X-rays in January 2022 (also normal). I had a chest X-ray, lumbar spine X-ray because I fell in my house and feared a broken bone. All clear. Neither blood work or

So many questions!
Hello again! Thank you so much to everyone who responded to me last week when I asked for feedback on my vitamins. You all helped so much, I took everything on board and also had enough conviction in myself to follow up with my doctors because I'm not a hypochondriac (probably). Seaside Susie told

Endo or not
Approx April 2021 I took a dull pain my lower left hip. Didn’t think much of it until it became the hip and buttock area sometimes coming up the lower back and down the leg and wouldn’t go away no matter what.

Iron Levels with CLL
Ive been having issues with low iron and as a result I'm on/off iron supplements. I also started taking acalabrutinib in May. I see a local doctor who didn't seem too concerned and I also see a doc in Cincinnati that says low iron is not normal with CLL/acalabrutinib, so he wants me to have an upper

Low Ferritin and iron supplements & Iron Panel interpretation
Further to my post of 24.10.22 Endo increased my Levo to 75 mcg daily and advised TSH to aim for 0.5-2.5, when I mentioned low ferritin she looked at the blood test and said everything is within range? Said my symptoms of brain fog, swimmy head, heaviness and tinitis are unlikely related to thyroid

parietal cell antibody lab results
I’m having trouble interpreting my lab results. My Parietal Cell Antibody IgG value is 33.2 units and it said the standard range is 0.0-24.9 units. So it’s above the standard range but not by much. Apparently above 25 units is positive so that means I’m positive? I just want to confirm.

Advice on iron test results please
Having had a history of low ferritin and been prescribed iron tablets, I thought I’d do a test to see if I actually needed them. Surprisingly, my ferritin level has improved but is still not optimal to support my thyroid. Should I take the iron supplements?
