Sometimes the solution is simple !
Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Iron deficiency
After blood tests showed low ferritin and other values indicating iron deficient anaemia, the NHS did a fairly thorough job over 6 months with various tests and procedures to eliminate internal bleeds as a cause ( anticoagulant doesn't help!). Finally given the all clear and advised that iron supplementation

Can low iron cause intolerance to thyroxine?
hello, Please see my prev post for my iron results. Since starting levo last year I have felt increasingly unwell on it. Mainly crippling joint and muscle pain which isn’t present when I’m not taking it, unfortunately the introduction of t3 at end of last year has only worsened this too. I can hardly

Ibrance side effects
I am on Ibrance 125 mg and letrozole and I have bloody nose constantly and bleeding gums. I have a cold and slight cough. Not bacterial because I had recent chest x-ray and blood tests. I have mets to lungs. But no infection on my lungs. I see my oncologist next week. I am thinking a dose reduction

your help needed in research about chest x-ray experiences
For those in the UK who've had a chest x-ray referred via their GP, please would you consider completing a research survey, seeking opinions from those affected ? (patients or relatives/caregivers) Whether it turned out to nothing more than a virus, infection or was followed up with other investigations

Help! Have I messed up
I have just had a telephone consultation with a GP hoping for help with the symptoms I have been experiencing. I tried to point him in the direction of the relevant guidelines for treating B12 deficiency, he said that he was familiar with the NICE CKS as he deals with B12 all the time and I m not anaemic

Blood test result - iron
Hi all I have taken iron tablets prescribed by my GP for over 15 years. My Ferritin levels were low when I was in my 20s and have taken iron tablets since then. I was really unwell last year with an unrelated illness and I haven’t taken my iron tablets for a few months. My results; Serum Iron

Cough, chest pressure, GCA
I am being treated for GCA, but had a negative biopsy. I am now taking 40 mg of prednisone and will drop to 35 mg tomorrow. My first rheumatology appointment is May 16. I am in no pain but I am very fatigued and I continue to cough, especially when I speak, and have chest heaviness. My primary care

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given
