Two Questions. Interferon and JAK %
Had by 3 monthly consultation yesterday, bloods all ok, but my cough is still there.. The consultants are unaware of any possible link to interferon and have referred me back to my GP, the GP has ordered a chest X ray, clear, changed my BP pills, so he has very little else to go on... The consultants

Unsure what it is as not a chest infection or covid-19.
I ended up at A&E all last night with my asthma. The ambulance had to give me a nebuliser because I had a bilateral wheeze on both sides.The hospital did bloods and chest x ray and said that my chest is clear, no sign of infection and that it is musco-skeletal but yet I was still breathless. Now I'm

Trying to get a diagnosis
Hi Everyone, In 2014 after the birth of my son and 9 months of complaining to my doctor, I was finally diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. This was treated to bring my levels back to “normal”, but I never felt like I recovered. Over the course of the last 8 years I have complained and complained about general

Really Struggling with Fostair
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with asthma last spring after contracting Covid.

Question about IV iron for anyone who has gotten an infusion.
Hey guys. Just asking this out of curiosity. But has anyone actually had RLS go away or improve after an IV iron infusion? I got one back in October and didn’t notice a perceivable difference. Pretty sure my levels are on the lower end now, so I’m getting an iron panel tomorrow but I just wanted to see

A bit about me
I worked in a Haematology laboratory for over 40 years until retirement. In that time I saw the introduction of automation into Blood Counting, Coagulation testing, and later, B12, Folate, Ferritin, Intrinsic Factor antibodies and Erythropoietin assays. In addition to routine laboratory work, I participated

Out of the blue, diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation
How can I go from an investigation of shortness of breath, a clear chest X-ray, a normal ECG and blood test, 2 weeks later a stint in resus, an overnight stay, to now being diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation, how does that happen? Was very fit, exercised regularly, but have a history of hypotension.

Breathless!
I completed six sessions of Carbo/Caelyx in February, and almost immediately noticed breathlessness. Up until then, I had no issues at all, and could walk for long distances and do my housework and gardening. This condition came on so quickly, and is having a huge impact on my life. I make the bed, then

Low stomach acid tests
I asked some questions about B12 and Diarrhoea here: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/145437733/vit-b12-and-diarrhoea Some people came back suggesting that low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria) is a cause of stomach acid. I did the sodium bicarbonate "burp" test and it seems I might

IF and celiac test results 'normal'
Hi all, if you had tests on the NHS for Intrinsic factor did you get details of test or just told normal? I have two tests in my online records which just show up as n/a which I assumed meant they weren't taken at all. When I called the doctors they said that the intrinsic factor one was 'normal'. I
