some advice

Advice following GP visit please
Hi, I posted a few days ago asking for advice after having had results back from blood tests and struggling to see my GP. Well, I finally saw her today. She was sympathetic, and has referred my results to an endocrinologist for guidance. I wanted to get some thoughts on something she did say, bearing

Headaches / update, also Spring Covid Vaccine update.
I was grateful for everyone’s’ replies to my recent post and I telephoned my Haematologist who advised a blood test and to see a doctor as soon as possible If I couldn’t see my GP the Haematologist said they’d fit me in at the hospital clinic. However, I had a full blood test that day at my G.P’s and

Morning cortisol test results have arrived.
For background I should say that I finished with prednisolone at the end of January this year. I’ve had no return of PMR symptoms but have been irritable and tired with my ‘get up and go’ non-existent 😠. I saw my rheumatologist a month ago and she requested a morning cortisol test along with my usual

ABNORMAL TSH BLOOD RESULT
I had a blood test on 5 April and the TSH result was 7.10 and the T4 result 13.6. I queried it with my GP who said there is nothing to worry about and that it is the T4 reading which matters. I am to have a retest in July. Am I worrying unnecessarily ? Thank you.

Upcoming cataract surgery
Hello, I am so grateful for this group and the information and advice I have gotten here. I hope someone can help me with this: I am having cataract surgery next week and wonder if any of the medications on this list, which they MAY use, would have an adverse effect on my RLS: ofloxacin (antibiotic

statins
Here again for some knowledge and benefit from your wisdom. In February I was told that I have a number of heart conditions. One is two partially blocked arteries. I am waiting for an Angiogram and stents if needed, semi urgent. I go to Europe the end of this month so no chance of getting in until July

DEXA and Leaky Bowels
Two questions for my knowledgeable chums. I was diagnosed in November 2023 and after a battle with my GP managed to get a DEXA scan in early April. Results are that this 75 year old has the typical bone density profile of a 30 year old. Yay! Is it reasonable to push for another scan after 6 months

Bloods and Test Results - Patient Knowledge
Hi ladies Do you get copies of your blood test results and if so how are they given to you and from/ at what stage in your treatment? I am mid front line chemo. I had extra bloods done and 2 TV scans a few weeks ago due to pelvic pain. The doctor doing my 2nd one had my results in front of her and

GCA/pmr flare?
I’ve been trucking along pretty well since 2022. Currently at 4mg pred and 15 mg MTX, both CRP & ESR have been fairly consistent within range. I’ve been at 4mg pred for 3-4 months as my Rheumy wanted me to stay on the same until my synacthen test (had first one cancelled) beg of Sept - which came

My GP Surgery are driving me mad! Now charging for me accessing my blood test results. £1 a sheet, payable in cash on collection.
Good evening all I hope you are all as well as you can be. I have come here to moan about my GP surgery. I live in Pembrokeshire, Wales. I am always made to feel that I shouldn't be accessing my blood test results from my doctor's surgery. I have 6 weekly monitoring blood tests for a DMARD I take

Low iron???
My wife's Hgb is often low, though can pickup a little after a ferinject IV. Her hematologist would prescribe ferinject when her ferritin was lower than 15, so she is always on the low side of normal. A recent trip to Christie's and blood tests gave this result above. We understand the ferritin numbers

Please help - private blood test (1 + 2)
I’ve been and am quite unwell and thought it was T3 but recent private blood tests show something else? (Tested 24 hours between Levothyroxine). * TPO 933?? I’m not sure how to proceed to get back to functioning and feeling normal. Been taken all recommended supplements, but perhaps I’m not absorbing

Hashi and water retention
Hi, I posted my blood test results about two weeks ago and then saw my doctor this past Wednesday. She told me to stop the T3, as it’s been over the last two times tested. She said to retest my thyroid levels in 7 weeks and the she would consider upping my dosage from 75 mcg of Synthroid. Yesterday

Second morning cortisol test results still not up to scratch at 313.
To recap, I finished Prednisolone in January this year. Tiredness and irritability 😖led me to mention these symptoms to my consultant at my routine hospital review. Early morning cortisol test reading in July showed a score of 313-up from 240 in April. To obtain this latest score I carried out an e-consult

Low hcg detection
Hi lovely people. I did my pregnancy blood test with my clinic on the 12day and got positive, but my clinic said although it is positive, that the hcg is 38 and they said it is low. So they booked me in for a second test on 14day which is today to see if the hcg will double up, and I just did that

Raised GGT
Following a routine ultrasound a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with multiple liver cysts including one large one (15cm). Liver blood tests showed raised ggt and alkaline phosphate. Ayear ago they were 95 and 135 respectively. My GP referred me to a liver specialist who remarked that he sees much
