Needing some input after gastroscope
Hi all: So I had a gastroscope yesterday and today I’m riddled with extreme fatigue. I’ve had a gastroscope before and never experienced such fatigue. The other times there was an anesthesiologist that gave me drugs to put me to sleep. This time an egotistic doctor informed me the procedure would be

Has anyone had a Jak2 Blood Test for blood disorders?
Hi I've had high Platelets for years about 20 at least on every blood test. GP always just said your Platelets are high but we know that! rheumy often mentioned it too. Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular blood tests since

T3 only and feeling a bit desperate
I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Should I stop Ferrous Fumarate before Blood Test?
Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in ferritin levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine blood test for thyroid levels and ferritin / iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much

Macrocytic Anemia?
Hi, I am posting here for my Mom. She had blood work every year with perfect results until last year in September when the Hemoglobin/RBC/Hemocrit started dropping. She never had anemia before. In March of this year MCV and MCH started going up and be higher then normal. I took her to a hematologist

Lipid results
Since my last post regarding elevated finger prick sample for cholesterol, I am now in receipt of my formal blood test results for lipid profile which are borderline and need to speak to Doctor. I do have a GP follow up next week to discuss these but wondered if anyone on here can interpret them and

SCT update
I’m now on day +284 & so far seem to be progressing well. I know things may change, but hopefully I’ll continue to progress. I’m managing to walk most days, weather permitting, although I do get tired in the evening. My tablets are now being decreased & my hair is growing back grey & curly - not happy

Goitre and antibodies but bloods all fine
Hi, I developed a fairly big lump in my neck in July 23. Did the 2 week wait thing and had an ultrasound and saw an ENT consultant. They diagnosed a thyroid nodule and said it looked normal with no need for FNA. Consultant asked for endo to see me and I am still waiting for this or any acknowledgment

Thyroid Education Day, Birmingham (Edgbaston), January 26th
https://www.thyroideducationday.com This is the first event of this kind. Is someone here from Thyroid U.K. or anyone else who is a member of this group attending? Seems vital a) to have someone to put our case there and b) to have a record of discussions and developments, for current and future
