Update
Hi I posted a couple of weeks ago about my brother who is currently in the QEB with liver disease. You all gave such helpful advice so i’m here with an update. Things have been up and down. A few days ago he finally got a room on a liver ward as opposed to the general ward, this has been much better

Ferritin of 38
My Ferritin has been dropping since an iron infusion a year ago. It was 98 pre transfusion. 1050 following the iron then every 3 months became gradually lower. It is now 38. Trans sats are 14% , Transferrin 26, Iron 8.4. My doctor says this is normal and filed my report without discussion. I had colonoscopy

I got my results back for pernicious anemia! Looks like folate deficiency, but would really appreciate any comments
I finally got my blood test results back for pernicious anemia. It looks like I don't have it, and that my problem is folate deficiency. And low reticulocyte count which would be caused by low folate I suppose. My other results are all in range, though active B12 could maybe be higher I am thinking

Hypothyroidism & ADHD /meds
Hello, community! I’ve suffered from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) since childhood, and after many years of poor response to Levothyroxine, successfully moved onto treatment with Natural Desiccated Thyroid almost ten years ago now. Switching to NDT was life-changing, and has really improved

Should I be pushing for further investigation? Help appreciated ❤️

Hi... I've never really opened up about my PTSD to anyone. I never knew how to explain it nor knew what it was. I realized I have triggers, but never defined them as trauma until a few years ago. For me it stems from childhood back in my family household; my father's alcoholism, and my first relationship

How do you counter a negative self-loathing thought when it has solid evidence?
It's a genuine question. They always say you have to counter your bad thoughts because they're usually wrong or irrational or whatever, but what if it's just a regular observation? It's not irrational or anything, it's just a thought coming from evidence gathered throughout my life and enforced by continues

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

Ran out of Buserelin - FET
Hi, I was scheduled for my last Buserelin injection on Thursday ahead of FET next week (Thursday). I thought I had just enough left in the vial but there were only a few drops when I drew it up so I didn't get a full injection (or anything close) Initially I wasn't worried, my lining looked good at D9

Prostrap & dry eye

PTSD versus CPTSD
the DSM does not recognise CPTSD as a diagnosis. Here in NZ if you have PTSD from multiple trauma it is diagnosed as such. I’m interested in other countries interpretation of the diagnostic DSM manual and why they diagnose CPTSD as opposed to PTSD from multiple trauma. A psychiatrist, I believe is
