Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

Overmedication question
Hi all, I have been feeling really weird over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if I'm overmedicated. I take 100mcg levo daily following hemithyroidectomy in Dec. I had been feeling much better since starting the tablets in March. But over the past few weeks I've had hot sweats, very easy to lose

New member -Dexa query
Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Blood tests confirming malabsorption and malnutrition
Out of curiosity, I managed to set up my NHS portal and patient access, and checked through the last couple of years of various blood tests.Now, when I was in hospital in 2022 (all linked to mistreated hypothyroidism), many blood tests showed malabsorption and malnutrition. These were repeated daily

same Dose
I have a blood test in March. Have the test done at 10.30 am my GP Doctor called at 4.30 pm said your test is Normal you need to stay on the same dose of 50 mg and have a blood test next year. Not sure if it’s right kidney advice

Hot milk works
I have RLS and PLMD such that I have very strong muscle contractions in my legs and abdomen. It has been increasing in intensity over the last few years and may stop for a few nights then return. The abdominal jerks are particularly distressing and will occur with uncanny regularity of from every 10

High platelet count due to iron deficiency anaemia maybe?
Just again when I thought all was going well ! High platelet count from recent blood test shows Platelet count 515 10*9/L Platelet count has been abnormal for some time, but never this high. Not sure whether I should request the ferrous sulphate again, OR could it be PMR flare. I have felt pretty

Celiac blood test, looks like it sits on a borderline, between 'normal' and possibly abnormal 🤷🏻♀️ what could this mean?
Does anyone understand this celiac test? I was surprised to see I sit on what looks like a borderline... what does <0.3 (u/ml) mean? 🤷🏻♀️ I wondered about iga deficiency, but maybe this could be normal...🤷🏻♀️

Active B12 tests
Does anyone know why no active B12 blood tests (such as Holo) are available in the USA?

calcium supplement before reclast infusion
is it best to take a calcium supplement before my infusion, I have had a blood test prior to my infusion but a blood test doesn't really show how much calcium in your bones and I have been reading that reclast lowers calcium levels.

Has my PMR Gone?
Hello friends, I haven't posted for some time now partly because I've been feeling very depressed on account of my worsening health and my GP has prescribed Mirtazapine to be taken every night before bed. I've been on them for a few months now but can't say in all honesty that I am feeling any better

Returning to Warfarin after 4 months on Edoxaban ...... part 2
I posted on here my original comments on this subject. Hopefully, this update, will be of interest. I made the decision to quit Edoxaban on 6 April. I didn't /couldn't be bothered to make contact with my GP, whenever I phone up for a chat I'm asked to make an appointment which usually is about 10 days

Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

requesting a IgA anti-TTG test in the UK
I have coeliac disease. The other day I talked to a doctor (over the phone, of course) to discuss results of my blood test. I then said that I would like to request a IgA anti-TTG test for my son (as you know, this is done through a blood test). I was told that now doctors can no longer request this

Help to updose T3
Hi Lovely people, I haven't been on for a while after one issue after another. I am on Liothyronine 20mcg 3 times a day. I have found my T3 dropping although still in range as my endo says so not concerned. I only started putting weight on just before being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That was

Hyperthyroidism blood results.
Morning all, I posted here several weeks ago as I had been taken off Levothyroxine after high t4 results. I have half a thyroid as had a benign growth. I paid for a blood test and after a couple of issues with the finger prick tests, I got a nurse friend to take my bloods. I got the results this morning
