Getting tested for autoimmune diseases
I posted about experiencing intermittent burning joint pain and I appreciated hearing everyone's responses. There were a few people who said they also had this. When I saw my hematologist (MPN specialist) a couple weeks ago, I told him about the burning joint pain. He wanted me to get it checked out

Help with blood test results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos over 40 yrs ago following removal of thyroid gland due to large goitre. Had some blood tests requested by my private Endo and just seen the result of one in particular in my GP app (even tho surgery said they couldn’t carry out the blood tests for private patients!). They

A night in the life of RLS
Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

Plasma Viscosity + Tapering
I’ve successfully tapered down from 15mg last June to 3mg now. I’ve been very lucky and had minimal problems getting down to 3mg. I had a routine blood test this week and my plasma viscosity has risen to just above normal (1.73). It was 1.66 back in December when I was on 6mg. CRP is normal and has

Suspect I have Addison's
I had a blood test yesterday and my serum cortisol was 330 nm/l.I have some hyperpigmentation & vitaligo. I think my GP was checking for Addison's. Hopefully now I can see an endocrinologist

Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

consultant Gastroenterologist
A phone call yesterday from a consultant Gastroenterologist was very unsuccessful! It lasted less than 5 mins! I explained my symptoms and what my last blood tests results were and I am indeterminate B12 deficient (as per March 24 N.I.C.E guidlines); I also explained it may be my gastric band that’s

Does a B12 injection affect a blood test
Got my blood test tomorrow morning at 7:50 I've been off all my vitamins since the weekend but I'm over due my B12 injection, can I have it today or will it skew the results I've had 12 weeks at 25mcg and 8 weeks at 50 mcg so I really don't want to stuff it up

TTG ABS test results
My anti tissue transglutaminase test came back as <1.9cu. And IgA as 1.4g/L. As usual my surgery have put normal within range. Does anyone have any thoughts on these levels? I have done another B12 blood test online, not through my surgery, and it has come back borderline low.

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

I coughed up a little blood last august and thinking that I could possibly have an eneurism, I was sent to A&E. An x-ray showed a shadow in the lower left lobe of the lung. Because I was fit and healthy in all other respects I was treated for pneumonia and discharged with antibiotics but with a follow-up
