waking up in a panic
Does anybody else wake up from sleep just overwhelmed with anxiety and negative thoughts? I wake up feeling like this every day I start off in a panic and I’d really like for it to stop now. If you have any suggestions or ideas that might be helpful on how to reduce the morning panic attacks and anxiety

Test results - I think I might have iron deficiency to add into the mix........
Hi everyone, I've updated my story and where I am. Still struggling to move forward with severe fatigue episodes. Was put on low dose steroids for suspected adrenal insufficiency a couple of months back. I thought at first they were helping, now I am not so sure. Am struggling really to know whether

PVCs with anxiety or anxiety with PVCs.
I am sooooooo tired of living with PVCs which flare up with my anxiety or wait did I just feel my heart flip flop and now I am anxious? Echo clear, blood pressure good, don't do caffine, well hydrated. Docs said once get your anxiety under control. Don't want to be on meds for pvcs. When I am so calm

Total knee replacement - 6 weeks on
Hi Today is my 6 week anniversary of having my TKR on my right knee. I'm keen to start driving again and wondered if I need to get the go ahead from the physio first or what is the protocol? My understanding was that if you can do an emergency stop you can drive. I have an automatic car so I'll be

Medichecks vs. NHS Results
Hi all. I'm wondering whether FlipperTD or indeed anyone else with some technical know-how, can make sense of my blood results. I've recently gained access to my GP records and can see that I've had low ferritin for at least 4 years. Levels have ranged from 17ng/L to 27ng/L on a range of (10

Could ovarian cancer and high TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) be linked?
I was just looking back on my medical records and both last year and in 2022 and my TIBC was high both times but my iron was normal. The doctor said she didn't see any anemia, but it is odd that the TIBC was high since high TIBC means low levels of iron....yet iron was normal. All these things I'm looking

TSH increased but no medication change
Hi, My recent blood tests showed my TSH has increased from 1.12 to 2.4 and I haven’t changed anything. Is there a reason this would happen or does it just fluctuate? I have been eating a lot of cruciferous everyday. Would that have an impact? My FT4 has remained pretty constant.

Antidepressant question
I am currently on 2.5 mg Lexapro. Its great and takes the edge off. However, I did have some panic attacks and my doc mentioned 5 mg might be a better standard low dose. I want to take 5 mg but I am scared of serotonin syndrome or any side effects with increasing dose. Any advise? I have taken lexapro

I know everyone experiences things differently but I’

Advice on Blood results please?
Hi, I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid problems but have had numerous blood tests over the last 4 years because of severe menopause symptoms that have not responded to HRT. Would you be able to have a look and see what you think please? I have also included some of the vitamins tested.
