PMR or not?
I had stiffness and muscle pain, so went to docs. He took blood tests all of which came back great apart from ESR and CRP. They were 53 and 44. Doc said he would take more bloods in 28 days. By the 28 days still stiffness and aches but bloods were going down, 44 and 33. He had spoken to Rheumi specialist

Today I had a hand addressed envelope in the post. It contained a bag for the blood test and apparently in small print at the top of the bag, it is from my Endo. I am guessing this is the form I needed for the blood test I had in November, There was nothing else in the envelope. So next time I

Went back to GP again today after previous visit about clubbed fingers and breathing trouble. Booked an urgent blood test and need to provide samples then I will get a scan to check for cancer. I don't know how I feel about this tbh, wanted him to tell me it was all in my head and for that to be true

Testing when on single dose T3, anyone tested to see peak?
My recent blood tests I decided it would be interesting to see what my level of fT3 would be on a normal day, so I took my usual early am dose of 15mcg and tested 5 hours later (9am) So 8.23 (3.1 - 6.8)

Any suggestions to sitting in hospital for hours waiting for INR test
I'm 26 and on warfarin for a mechanical aortic valve inserted in April 23. I need to be tested very regularly, normally every 2 weeks atleast. It must be a blood test as the pin prick tests proved unreliable in my case. I spend hours and hours waiting at St Barts for a blood test which is where I am

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at

Good news for me!
Saw the Rheumatologist yesterday & Doctor today. Rheumy wants me to taper 1/2mg every 6 weeks instead of 1mg every 4 weeks. Doctor is more than happy to discontinue blood tests & apt’s every month & for me to monitor everything myself. I can call Doc if I need to. Having read on this forum how lots
