Medication and blood tests
I have battled to get my bloods tested and have managed to get a blood test tomorrow but it is at 11.40am. I have always had them before 8am following the advise given on here. What is the best thing I can do with taking my medication? I took them today (Sunday) at 6am so should I take them as normal

Essential nutrient results
I've just had the following results from my surgery and realise I now need to update my levels. I was told all are satisfactory!! Advice on best way forward would be hugely appreciated....my nutrient knowledge is too scrappy to be relied on!! I'm currently prescribed Fultium -D3 800 IUcapsules

low ferritin/T3 capsules
hi everyone.. My ferritin test result is 24 (10-300) Nice guidelines say under 30 can have iron infusion? Should I push for that? I picked up my T3 prescription and was planning on splitting them but they are 10mcg capsules.Roma is the brand. I do have 2 boxes of the Greek brand from unipharma

More worry
😟 Report from recent endoscopy appeared to be all good, however there was a "possible" Barretts Tongue seen and so biopsy has been taken to rule Barretts out. All blood tests and tumour markers came back as normal, but I cannot help but worry about if it is Barretts and whether again it could be

blood test accuracy
Hi All, I order blood tests through Medichecks and have a blood draw at the hospital but also intermittently get blood tests through the NHS. According to the NHS my vitamin levels have gone down considerably but according to Medichecks they’re fine! Which one should I trust?! Thanks 😊

I have been on prednisone since July of 2021. Several failed attempts to taper but am presently at 3 mgs after changing diet dramatically. Had blood tests a month ago and cholesterol is one third higher than normal range. GP tells me that prednisone can cause metabolic changes by increasing blood

Blood tests to track MS progression
I have heard about a specific blood test, in US, that allows doctors to measure key biomarkers and evaluate a person's response to particular therapies targeting MS. This is the Octave MS Disease Activity (MSDA) blood test that analyzes levels of 18 key biomarkers that help doctors measure the level

update re post holiday symptoms.
further to my last post I increased to 17.5mg on Tuesday as I didn’t have any improvement in symptoms. I felt slightly better today and was able to do some food shopping without feeling ill afterwards. Had my GP telephone appointment tonight. She was not happy with my self medicating although I explained

Baker's cysts update
I posted 10 days ago about knee pain and possibly baker's cysts. After blood test showed my crp level at 14 abd wbc at 16.4 I was concerned. My DR wasn't concerned. I've had scaly area on my foot soles and foot area for a few months so I emailed Dr photo's of this plus photo's of my swollen knees/lower
