Positive GP experience!
I had my first meeting with my GP following private consultation and initiation of B12 SI treatment 8 weeks ago. He accepted what was said in the letter the private consultant wrote, and agreed to follow up ferritin and folate blood tests. I advised I would have a follow up consult and I would forward

Ferritin
Hi everyone,Firstly thank you for all the fantastic advice on this forum. I've got a Serum Ferritin level of 308ng/ml (my GP was concerned that this was a bit too high), Transferrin Saturation of 31% but a Serum Transferrin level of 2.3g/L. Please can you give me your thoughts on this & am I looking

Can you ‘feel’ your spleen?
I’ve been feeling pressure, not particularly pain, under my ribs on the left for a while. I’ve mentioned this to haematology but no reaction from them. I can feel it most when I’m sat or laid down. Is this relatively normal? I had an iron infusion last as very anaemic, which hasn’t made any difference

I’m supposed to get my platelets down,according to my MPN specialist, below 400 before my hip surgery on 12/21. So had to take hydrea daily instead of 4x a week. Got first bloods today after upping dose. Platelets at 531 from 572 two weeks ago but MCV and MCH at top of range. 100 and 33. They’ve taken

B12 next steps - advice please
Hi - I have also posted this in the Pernicious Anaemia section but I know there is also some good knowledge within this group too. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Following a disappointing Endo appointment I wrote a detailed email to request an appointment with the Consultant as I felt I hadn’t had

Anaemia test results
Hi all, I recently did the 'Full health screen' from Monitor My Health and all the vitamin results have come back without proper ranges. Only the graphs. Which is irritating. BUT Would you supplement iron with these results? I can't afford to do a full iron panel, and I had assumed this test would

Liver pain, elevated liver enzymes and ultrasound
Hello everyone. My boyfriend has been complaining of pain under his lower right rib. Pain was not severe just on and off. He got his blood test done and results showed elevated liver enzymes. He was booked for an ultrasound. We are waiting for the results but really scared. He is 39 and healthy overall

bloods walloped by severe gastrointestinal infection, anyone?
Hi lovelies, I was hospitalised for severe infection last week, which with antibiotics is now better. But my white blood cell count has plummeted to the point hospital has put me under lockdown, and went even lower after 3 filgrastim injections although haematology say sometimes their effect is delayed

Milk thistle - anything to be aware of?
A recent blood panel came back with slightly raised liver enzymes (marginally above the range), for reasons I am looking into. I have read about the benefits of milk thistle supplementation with respect to helping with both liver and thyroid matters. On the whole, the consensus seems to be that it

Low serum folate = folic acid supplement?
Hello, My youngest daughter (she's 21) has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She's been started on 50 mg Levothyroxine Her other low result was: Serum folate 2.2 (2.8-20 ug/L) For this she's been prescribed folic acid - 5mg daily I'm a little surprised that it's folic acid especially after

Can Divine Intervention Change Your Genotype?
Reports of sickle cell cures/genotype change by divine intervention have become too many to ignore. _SICKLE CELL NEWS_ ventured to investigate: and it turned out easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than find anyone cured of sickle cell by Faith! https://selar.co/lor8 We interviewed

Iron results-any advice?
Hi! V grateful for all the wisdom from this forum. Just did a full iron panel on Medichecks as ferritin has been consistently low, and I've been on and off ferrous fumarate for years. GP only tests ferritin; advice on here seemed to be to get the full picture. Results below... Ferritin much better

Medichecks ferritin range 30-650 ug/L
I have been having trouble for years with low ferritin, despite eating black pudding 3 times a week and taking ferrous fumarate. This last week got full thyroid blood tests back and thought ‘oh good , ferritin had gone up a bit to a decent 77’, but no, the range had been changed to a huge 30-650 ug/L

Low MCHC
Hello all. I have a new aspect of my cbc report that has just become Low. It is MCHC. Normal is 31.0 gm/dL to 36.5. I am now 30.7. I would love comments from any others who have had low MCHC. Did you eventually need oxygen. Did they start treatment due to this? How low can it go before you physically

Pernicious Anemia and Endicrine
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency in the spring of 2021. I was initially placed on a regimen of B12 injections appropriate for patients with blood symptoms. Eventually I read enough to discover the difference in treatment for patients with blood symptoms vs nerve symptoms, and since August of 2021

Low B12 raised CRP - new to this
hi all. I was recently diagnosed with B12 deficiency (level of 67), and am about to have my last of 5 loading doses today. I can’t say I’ve felt too much of an improvement and still have brain fog, dizziness and tingling in my hands and feet amongst other things. Will this improve as the b12 gets to
