Advice on best blood test
Hi there, I'm looking to test Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium levels, as well as a full iron panel, Vit D, B12, Folate, thyroid hormones and sex hormones. I use Medichecks often for testing, but can't find a test that includes everything. I've found a Medichecks test that includes everything but SHBG

Transferrin?
Hello! I've been reading and learning so much here - so much knowledge and kindness... I've just got some blood tests back after 1 month on Levo and my TSH is down, T4 up and cholesterol down - yay! There are still some tests to come in, but I just noticed that my transferrin level is below range

Help interpreting results please
Having been on a combination T3 plus levo trial for a year, these are my latest results. I am on the trial because my last results indicated I am a poor converter. I was knocked back from taking 100mcg levo to 75mcg by a doctor who doesn't know me when my TSH lowered because I was newly on T3. Of which

Banging my head against a brick wall!
First, let me start by saying I've being reading post after post and this forum seems very well informed, helpful and respectful. My wife and I have been looking for answers to her health condition, which I believe, is Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, for nearly 10 years! I've taken on the role of researching

Am I being blasé about stomach protectors whilst on Pred?
I have had PMR for 3 and a half years and generally feel lucky that I am not feeling as bad or fatigued as many on this forum. I am certainly not as fit as I was but age has a part to play. I am 75 and used to be able to do big hikes, Zumba and so on but can still walk 4 to 5 miles and have just moved

improved blood work, am I a good converter or do I need support?
I’m still not out of the woods yet, but I’m happy to see some improvement. Here’s my latest results. The not so good news is d-dimer is still elevated but has come down, cholesterol is the same, but hasn’t got worse, my sex binding globe is still high, I’ve overdosed on vitamin D, and TPO has gone

Good diet so no need for Adcal?
I asked my GP (again!)about taking Adcal and explained that a lot of people on this forum were automatically prescribed it when put on steroids. GP asked about my diet and said I was getting plenty of calcium in my diet. He said calcium and Vitamin D levels were good on my last blood test and the DEXA

stomach burning, acid reflux and anxiety
I would appreciate any help in combatting a burning stomach. I have had IBA for 30 years and was diagnosed with acid reflux and a hiatal hernia 2 years ago with Barrett’s Oesophagus but managed to calm it down with acupuncture and homeopathy. However, anxiety kicked off stomach burning 3 months ago and

High dose Ergocalciferol (Vit. D-2) for Osteoporosis?
Since losing my long time primary doctor last year, I am on my second doctor for advice for osteoporosis. I was reluctant to take Prolia recommended by the first D.O. doctor and the second Internist Doctor recommended 50,000 (I think IU) weekly for a couple of months. I haven't picked up the prescription

Why do all my symptoms suggest hyperthyroid if my results show hypo?
Hi everyone! I got my thyroid results about a month ago - first time ever tested. My GP initially wanted to test my thyroid because of these symptoms: sudden severe anxiety, trouble sleeping, shakiness, palpitations. I've also had increased sweating and some diarrhoea (not bad). I've lost some weight

I was diagnosed with AF during covid. This was about 6 months after I had to have my thyroid zapped so I’m now thyroid free. After tests it was found that I had very little vitamin D, B12 and folic acid so I now have to take these daily. I was also given heart medication and a blood thinner. I never
