Hyper/hyper thyroidism?
Following recent scan of saliva glands, which were normal, my thyroid was noted as being “dark”? As I had a partial thyroidectomy 40 years ago and do not take any thyroid supplementary tablets, any clues as to what may be going on. Symptoms, normally attributed to my age, are extreme tiredness

PMR... back on 20mg
Thanks everyone for replies and suggestions after my post last Monday. Saw my GP on Tuesday, we discussed the pain, stiffness and fatigue I was experiencing since tapering off prednisone late last year. She agreed I should start at 20mg day, after bloods for Crp and ESR. The results: Crp 3 and ESR

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

Follow up call with Endocrinologist
This week I have a follow up call with my endocrinologist, I only see them when they want to see me so I'm very anxious to make sure I don't miss anything. Last time I saw them was the first time I saw them, they asked if I felt better from my symptoms of graves with the medication, I told them I did

Could Someone Explain The TTGIgA Test Please?
Hello! I have recently had some blood tests done due to low vitamin B12 and long term issues with iron deficiency. My GP did some tests to rule out Celiacs as a cause, and I just wondered if somebody could explain the Tissu Transglutaminase IgA test please - my result came back at 0.4 (range 0-6.9) I

Possible Malar rash
Hello because of symptoms I am suffering, my GP has referred me to rheumatology, neurology, and dermatology to see what the possible cause is. And I was wondering if this could possibly be a malar rash caused by lupus. I know it can’t be properly confirmed unless by a biopsy/blood tests but I was wondering

watch and wait.
Hi all, I haven’t posted in a while. I am after some thoughts on results really.. I am based in the UK. Diagnosed in Oct 2022 after a chance blood test for something else. A familiar story from what I have read. A specialist at the time said I was a bit early for the disease! I’m now nearly 50. I

Update after finding out I have Chiari Malformation
Good morning lovely people, I hope you are all doing well? You were so supportive and kind to me when I last posted about finding out I had Chiari Malformation and didn’t have PMR. So, I thought I’d update on what has been going on since then. I went back to my GP and he has been so supportive and

Running out of time...advice welcome
Hi all - I just turned 44 last week and have had a negative result (after 2WW) this morning. I started my solo journey in 2019 and was told to go find a sperm donor/straws in Feb 2020...and COVID really mucked that up. I finally managed 2xICI in 2022 - one chemical, the other resulted in nothing. I started

If I was to list my blood test results on here would people give their opinion on what they think it all means collectively?

high liver enzymes
Hello there. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences or knowledge over what I’m going through right now. Recently I had my blood test done. My ALT,AST, and alkaline phosphates came out super high (131, 89, 146) respectfully. I was struggling with a really bad flu at the time of these tests. Could

Finally got Ruxolinitib
Today I picked up my first ruxolinitib tablets, to start on Monday, after the last blood tests are back from the lab. This has been a marathon of nearly a years effort, to get access to Rux. I will start 20 Mg twice a day and 1 x 300 mg of Allopurinol. I have been surprised to start with this fairly

Imbalance Issues from CLL treatment?
Hello, I live in Minnesota and was diagnosed with CLL in Oct 2022 and my oncologist at the Masonic Cancer Center put me on the O and V treatment which started in Dec 2022. I finished the O in May 2023 and the V in Dec 2023. Latest blood test has all my counts in the normal range except Abs Lymphocytes

Iron levels
HiI'm 12 weeks pregnant and expecting twins. The midwife asked me a number of questions and said I was high risk for low iron so said I had to start taking iron tablets daily (322mg). However, I just got blood test results back and my iron levels were fine. I asked if I still had to take them and she

A very unwelcome visitor
I posted in January about being discharged from hospital cardiology after I declined a second ablation because I’d been AF free for over 12 months. Unfortunately, last Saturday AF appeared out of the blue! I only discovered it by chance as I was not aware of any pulse issues. I had a slight headache

Rise in CA 125
I had a blood test today which shows my CA 125 has risen from 260 to 380. I’ve read that normal range is considerably lower so should i be concerned? Will obviously speak to my oncologist but not sure when. Thanks in advance J
