Cholesterol
Hello all, Following a recent blood test, I've received a message from my GP saying my cholesterol is a bit high and advising lifestyle changes and offering statins. I'm currently researching statins trying to make an informed decision. I read that they are advised for CVD. I have a leaking Mitral valve

New GP is considering to give me B12 pills instead of injections - would that be the same in the long run?
Started having B12 injections two yeas ago and worked fine. Now moved to a new village and the new GP ordered blood tests to see if I should continue. Fought back and said that without the injections my B12 levels are going down. He asked me to take vitamin pills and have another blood test. If levels

High dose Prednisolone and effects
Hi, I was diagnosed with PMR, 8 years ago and was down to 2mg of prednisolone, however 3 weeks ago I ended up in A&E being told I’d developed GCA, after CT head scans and blood tests. Also had a temporal artery biopsy. I was prescribed 60mg of prednisolone, tapering gently so still on 50. My problem

My PMR journey is probably in reality nearer 3 years long. From actual diagnosis from the rheumatologist it is just over 2 years. I am currently taking 1MG of Pred a day.

New results confused
Hi all, I was chatting on here a few days ago worried about blood results and my GP saying I had CKD and had had this for quite a while. I had no idea. Now, this is what I don’t get, two weeks ago I had my kidney bloods done and the results were worrying apparently? The blood test was repeated yesterday

Thyroid Ultrasound
Hi I posted last year regarding thyroid nodules and someone was asking about thyroid blood tests which I didn’t really have. Well…..things have progressed and I wondered if anyone in the community has any advice on my latest ultrasound results. I had it done privately as NHS was completely dismissive

Hypothyroidism and other health issues
Hi, Can someone please tell me if people suffering from hypothyroidism can get anxiety and high blood pressure? All my heart related blood tests are normal but I still don't know why my blood pressure is high all of a sudden? I have also started getting panic attacks and feel anxious 24/7 for no reason

Does it sound like PMR?
I have been to several specialists, but no one understands what is happening to me, their eyes always ends up swimming in their faces. After countless hours googling, I found this forum a could finally recognise things you have described here. I woke up with excruciating pain after a parathyroidectomy

Iron Study - Iron improves RLS
Another study shows that iron improves RLS. We cannot access the full article, but the evidence is mounting. There are now many trials proving that iron treatment helps RLS. If your doctor is still refusing to take full iron panel blood tests, please refer them to the Mayo Clinic Algorithm and the latest

Excessive Bleeding Experiences
Hello,I was wondering if anyone out there had a similar experience to me recently. I have been bleeding for 4 months non stop. It's not painful, the blood used to be a mix of old and fresh, recently it has been very bright and fresh. I first saw a nurse who was amazing- she did a general blood test

Should blood tests be more frequent?
I keep reading about the importance of a correct blood sugar level! However, I’m under the impression that I’ll only be getting tested once a year from now on! Surely, a lot of damage can be done in the year between tests. Thinking of going down the road of testing sugar levels at home! Has anyone else
