A bit disheartened and confused
A little over 2 years ago at age 36 I experienced the first of what I came to find out was an Afib episode (of course, not until after being told I was just having panic attacks by some very unhelpful ER personnel). This was about a week after a doctor had prescribed me rizatriptan for headaches (

My life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. I spent last Wednesday in the ER trying to determine why I kept having dizzy spells and nearly passing out. My right arm was also going numb and my legs very weak. We were concerned I was having a relapse or stroke. After bloodwork, a chest x-ray, ekg

I'd been feeling weary so had bloods done at doctor's. My iron was low so GP prescribed iron tablets.
I'd been feeling weary so had bloods done at doctor's. My iron was low; it has been for years; (I think it's always been low, even when I ate meat. I was told by a doctor 30 years ago that I was slightly anaemic; I think at the time I was hypo but it wasn't diagnosed) so GP has prescribed iron tablets

Anyone used Vitex (Agnus castus/chasteberry) and did it help or aggravate RLS?
Having heavy n prolonged periods so was researching solutions. Came across Vitex (to balance out hormones) but no idea if it's safe for RLS because when I googled Vitex RLS I read something about it affecting dopamine receptors? Has anyone used this for their periods or any other issue, or can advise

Blood results- thyroid and iron levels.
Hi all, I've had my blood test results back today. I had stopped the vitamins that you're meant to stop before testing but unfortunately I forgot to not take my Thyroxine! Yeah I know! So the blood was drawn at 12 noon, I had taken my Thyroxine at 11am, would that be a short enough space of time

Hypersensitivity post circumcision
Hi, I am on my 8th week at the moment, have had partial circum followed by frenuloplasty. Healing and all is going well and the hypersensitivity of glans is much reduced upto an extent that it won’t pain or discomfort in under garments or a slight tap. But any sort of sudden rubbing by hand or tissue

Repeating intrinsic factor antibody blood test
Hello Does anybody have any references to show a consultant that wants to repeat an ifab blood test? I have gastric parietal cells and am ifab positive with reading of 8 (range 0-5). He says I'm only weekly positive for ifab so wants to repeat the test. I had one down in June that was negative, then

I started almost a year ago with this diagnosis, unfortunately. I had biopsies in February to confirm cirrhosis.
Since then I dropped 40 pounds, changed to low carb, walk a lot, drink coffee, take asparagus extract, milk thistle, vitamin e. Collagen, and Actos. Was hoping for lower number, but progress is progress! Down to NASH 3 and 33% of my liver. Not sure what the numbers on the right mean?? I weigh 125

Slow to get a rheumy appointment
My husband started feeling unwell in January this year. He ended up having a month off work. He is 53. Meanwhile the GP did various tests and a chest X Ray, he was even sent to A&E due to the pains in his chest. All checks ok. By July I suggested asking the GP for a lupus blood test, as I researched

Lab results and plan forward
Hello fine people! ✨😍 Deja vu! I feel like I’m having flashbacks. Maybe it is Groundhog Day? Or just an I told you so and now you have wasted one year of my life so I have felt rubbish unnecessarily. ⚠️🆘 So, my Hb wasn’t as low as when I went to donate but it was still clearly in anemic range at 11.7
