Neutropenia/ low neutrophils
I was diagnosed with Neutropenia in 2017 aged 46. Anyone else with neutropenia and thyroid problems? I'm sure I'm hypothyroid. My blood test kit has turned up today, so I will wait until Monday before doing the test and posting it off. My last thyroid tests are below and Greygoose has advised me

High Thyroid Antibodies symptoms

mCRPC end of ADT--staying the course.
My dad saw his oncologist yesterday. My sister and I were there; we both read “Being Mortal” and watched several videos on the subject. The MO brought in the PSA test and said it was time to start considering a treatment change and the next steps were chemo and there was also Pluvicto. What happened

Waiting diagnosis/meds
Hi all, happy Saturday. Since March I have been experiencing dreadful aches and pains in my arms wrists shoulders and hands to the point I thought I'd broken my wrists. A trip to the doctor resulted in a referral to rheumatology and series of blood tests where it seemed my ESR and CRP were raised,

Waiting on ultrasound results
Hi everyone, I found a lump on the front of my neck (you can visibly see it) along with a raised lymph node. I had a neck ultrasound this week and I’m just waiting on the results. The radiologist said there is a 2cm nodule on my thyroid but that he couldn’t see anything concerning and would pass everything

Once a day T3ers only
Do you still do your blood tests in the same way as those on divided doses or T4? I can't think of any better way unless someone has any ideas? I am taking all my T3 on waking so got earliest appointment I could ( testing other stuff too so can't do my own finger prick test) and that is 10am Mon, sadly

Want to see someone private who gives a shit
I paid for a private consultation and they promised an MRI to look for deep infiltrating endometriosis that may be tying my organs together but once I had the consultation they referred me back to the NHS and now the consultant has completely forgotten about this and gave me a 4 minute and 30 second

PMR/GCA monitoring and bone supplements
Hi recently diagnosed with PMR and just started course of steroids in the last week. Doctor has now sent me the tapering programme for following year. As I have osteopenia of the femur he has suggested I take supplements for my bones. Either calcium and vit D or bisphosponates? Any advice on which

Blood tests - how much difference does timing make?
I posted last week about my symptoms and recent blood results but I had them done before reading here so I did them mid morning and had breakfast and coffee beforehand! My question is, how much difference might this have made? I’ve now been told by another nhs professional that my results are normal

high TSH and high T4
hi, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on this one. I’ve recently had two blood tests, one on 11th April with a TSH of 8 (abnormal) but T4 of 22 (so still just normal but top of the range). Then another blood test 28th June also with higher TSH of 11 and T4 high but normal at 21. I’ve had Hashimotos

Ideas please
I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago for a massive goitre. I had been taking levothyroxine for 20 years prior to the surgery. The idea being that giving me the meds would stop the goitre growing but it didn't work. My levels have fluctuated over the years but I have never had any symptoms - until

blood test
The results are in. I don’t know what to think of this months appointment and I’m confused and anxious but also a bit relived that it’s over. My husbands GFR was at 39 today, which has been the pretty steady number we’ve been trending towards. He had an Albumin/creatine urine test and the results were

Carbimazole and cramps update
Hi Everyone, I have been on a roller coaster since my last post, hence my relative silence. My mother was seriously ill, I was asked to sign a DNR, then my mother recovered, now I am able to focus on my own issues. Since my last post about my severe cramps, they seem to have subsided since introducing
