NHS and 2nd potential anti vegf
Hello all even though I work for the NHS I still despair at the appointment system sometimes! I paid to go privately for my first anti vegf injection and the consultant said he would slot me into his nhs clinic for the second but due to probably the jubilee BH my second one will be 5 weeks 2 days after

Needle biopsy
Hi everyone, Has anyone else had a lung needle biopsy? I had one on Tuesday and it wasn’t supposed to hurt just be uncomfortable. Well, the samples were taken successfully but it was more painful than I’d expected. The radiologist was surprised as well. Anyway following a chest X-ray I had to stay in

Iron Bisglycinate versus Liquid Ferrous Sulfate
Hello oh wise ones. I’m constantly here lurking in the back and rereading posts to take info back to my doc. My doc has very little knowledge of RLS but she is very open to all your information so I’m eternally grateful. Been trying to up my ferritin for the last year. Started at 8 and now a year later

Is anyone able to help with my mum’s labs please
Hello all, She has Hashimoto’s which is well managed on glandulars and she feels well. Her thyroid labs are a little on the low side this time because she reduced her dose significantly having felt over-medicated previously but has since increased it slightly and hopes her next labs are better.

What's the relevance of low mean cell haemoglobin, but normal haemoglobin concentrate levels?
I'm confused about these results! Please can anyone help? What does mean cell haemoglobin mean? I I thought it meant I was anaemic, but my haemoglobin concentrate is normal. My ferritin is too low again I know. I understand my thyroid levels. I'd reduced T3 from 30 to 25mcg for 6 weeks hoping my TSH

Are my symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency especially burning sensation.
Hi Hoping people can tell me if some weird symptoms I'm having are consistent with B12 deficiency. I'm in the UK London. I have started getting burning skin sensations - feels like someone applied deep heat when I wasn't looking. I get these on my forearms, shoulders, patches on my upper back. They

Mornings
Good morning everyone, Since I’ve reduced prednisolone down to 5mg I have noticed wrist and hand stiffness in the mornings. Sometimes my fingers feel as if they are tingling when I wake. I also still have puffiness on the outside of each ankle below the bone despite reducing steroids. I thought this

Glans Problems
I got circumcised on the 24th Dec healing went well but I've developed a red rash on my glans that will not go away. I've been using castor oil as it feels very dry on occasions. To me it feels like new skin is growing on the glans. Has anyone else experienced this or do I need too see a Dr for some

Normal blood levels mean anything?
I generally have normal b12 levels in the 500-600 range but have symptoms that mimic b12 deficiency. Sometimes my folate levels are low and I supplement there but was wondering if b12 injections are the next step. My doctor did a parietal cell antibody test and that was high at 30 but mma was below

Blood results back. Ferritin low but haemoglobin normal. TSH slightly raised.
Hi, thank you for all your previous help when I first posted about how tired I was constantly. I was advised to repost when I got my blood results back from the doc. They didn’t test all my vitamins but these are, I think, the most relevant ones from my results. TSH 2.43 (0.3-4.50) I have an endo

B12 deficiency, IFab negative, oral cyanocobalamine not working... what's the cause of deficiency?
Hi, I'm new here, just looking for any insight on my situation to try and figure out the cause of my b12 deficiency... For a little background: I'm 32, female. I first became aware of low b12 levels in mid 2020. I'd had 3 highly stressful years and was left feeling awful with anxiety, ear fullness

Has anyone tried methyl cobalamin for injection from India, japan and Malaysia?
In these countries methylcobalamine is sold in supermarket. Indian methylcobalamine is so cheap and look like they have proper certificates for quality assurance. In the meantime there are some facilitators for continuous delivery of hydroxocobalamin which are so cheap and work like insulin pump work

Advice on Heart Failure
I've been diagnosed with heart failure, when I'm normally a fit and healthy guy. Cant walk more than 10 paces up the stairs or sleep due to breathlessness. GP has sent me for ecg, bloods and chest x ray. I had to beg for an echo cardiogram (not had yet). There seems to be no urgency to treat me, and

New confused and fed-up!
Hi everybody, I’m new here and haven’t yet been diagnosed with asthma, although this is the route the Drs are now going down. I’m a 63 year old healthy lady, never smoked and have never had chest issues until now. On December 28th I tested positive for Covid, although I had no real symptoms to speak
