Given Private Diagnosis But Antibody Test Is Negative? A Little Confused.
I recently had a private diagnosis of Autoimmune Thyroiditis. This was given in the context of seeking a diagnosis of my B12 deficiency which was said to be linked with the above, Pernicious Anaemia, antibodies attacking thyroid and gastric parietal cells. I have been on levothyroxin for 15yrs. He based

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

Blood test
I have an app with endocrinologist next week. I know he will want to take bloods so what should i do about my thyroxine . Normally if bloods were taken at 9 I d not take my tablet until after the test but my app isn’t until 1.30. Should I take my levo that day or not??

I cannot trust my GP
I have had a GP for 8 yrs who used to categorize everything as depression or anxiety or uncurable or everyone gets it. I used to have gut issue and my GP would just tell me that is normal thing. And I should change my diet I had given up on NHS. I had stopped visiting my GP altogether. However

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Help and advice
Hi everyone, need some advice and reassurance if possible after being told I have CKD. A new GP took over at my surgery and as he was about to prescribe me some tablets he happened to say “Oh you can’t have them because of your CKD”. ????? First I had heard of it. Anyway I met with him last week and

Hep C test
Hi there I read on this website which is a local NHS remote sexual health testing service for Northern Ireland that Hep C can take up to 9 months to be detected in a test? Is this correct? On another page on this same site it says up to 6 months. I have also reached out to them to ask about this issue

Help with Female Hormone Test Interpretation
I did a Randox Female Hormone Test as NHS Endo refused to check Progesterone and Testosterone, and they don't believe in HRT. Until August 2022 I had been on HRT, Kliofem 2mg/ I mg , for more than 20 years. I was taken off it by my G.P. because of my age. I believe I have Pituitary Failure/ Central

Just starting the journey…..
Hi All, I have recently been diagnosed with GCA, at least that’s what I am now being treated for. My story started in early Dec 2023. I am a very active 60 yr old, previously doing triathlons, still cycling, swimming, walking etc. The first symptom I experienced was excruciating pain in my hip flexor
