Confused about my results and advice on Thuroid specilist
Hi All. I have finally spoken to my Gp regarding my latest results and the appointment was just useless. I've been give Iron tablets for my low iron. Couldn't tell me why it's low. And didn't seem bothered about my low throid , he said recheck in 3 months. I said even though now it's been low since

New to this website and am looking for some advice :)
Hi, I’m a 19 year old female who has suffered from IBS my whole life, literally since I was a baby. I have EDS, PoTS, Endometriosis, GERD and Gastritis. I had H.pylori from the end of 2017 to April 2019, undiagnosed and untreated for over a year because my gp said that I was ‘attention seeking because

My doctors won’t investigate
Typically I suffer with chronic symptoms of low B12 but all my results seem to be ignored by GP. My ferritin is 35 ug/L (indeterminate), vitamin b12 is 157ng/L (low) and in my FBC my MCV is 95.5 (just below higher cut off) and MCH is 32.1 (slightly high - comment on blood test is ‘no action despite having

Update on my daughter's GP call today. So angry.
I'm so angry but not surprised. I didn't expect much tbh. My daughters last Vitamin results from 2022 were B12 290, Ferritin 24, folate 9.2 & Vit D 39. She been on thyroxine since a teenager now in her 40's. TSH levels fluctuating all over the place for past 6 years. Well the GP called today

Would an iodine supplement help?
I still don't feel well (very tired and the most dreadful brain fog which has stopped me driving) and wondered how I would know if an iodine supplement might help? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Latest Medichecks results - stopped taking b12 liquid 2 weeks before test. Taking Spatone, VitaminD

General questions about starting NDT
Hello lovely people, I'm back again with more questions... Just waiting on my NDT prescription to be filled by the pharmacy. It will be CAPSULES with powder inside (not tablets). It's 50mg, once a day. I've never had any thyroid treatment previously, so this is my first time trying any thyroid hormones

help to understand test results
After a year of monitoring my TSH due to a bout of subacute thyroiditis, initially suspected as thyroid cancer. I am now at a point where my GP feels medication may be required and have undertaken an extensive range of blood tests through the GP I have an appointment on the 4th July to discuss options

Spotting, bloating and weight gain
I've just had bloods and swab done at the gp for above symptoms today and the spotting has turned into medium flow period type blood after being swabbed. I had a week of spotting between red and clear to pink brown discharge but I'm finding it painful around pelvic and vagina area when going to the toilet

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening

Time to heal
It is now 9 months since I started LT4 being titrated up and last weeks blood test show I have finally hit optimal levels. My GP has agreed to test again in 3 months to check I remain stable (on 125mcg.) Now, I am sure that because of various symptoms etc; my thyroid had struggled for at least 20 years

Advice on latest blood tests
Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on bloods following my latest tests. Just wondered if it's worth increasing the T4 as it's a bit lower since putting on a little bit of weight. I'm happy with my Vit D, B12, Folate and Iron and hence have not included those results. Thanks in advance

Blood test protocol for Thyroid levels
Hi, just need some advice on doing Thyroid blood tests in the evening. I have seen the protocol for doing it in the morning before 9am and on an empty stomach etc. What about if your taking your T4 medication before bedtime at 11pm after eating your last meal 4 hours before. Do you take your blood

please help with figuring out what is wrong
I posted recently that my Mom’s Hemoglobin is dropping, same as RBC and Hemocrit, while MCV and MCH are high. She was diagnosed with Macrocytic Anemia but doctors can’t figure out the cause. The hematologist did bone marrow biopsy, PET scan and over 50 blood test, all normal except for Copper and Ferritin
