RUX for PV?
I have been on run for a few months now. Blood tests are down, perfect right now. Still fatigued though. Ears ringing like crazy but thankful. Anyone else with polycythemia have diarrhea? I am thankful for this drug, but want to feel better

raise ca125
hey , I had the ca125 blood tests and results came back at 57. Have my scan tomorrow. I am a mum of 3 young children and I’m terrified that it will be something sinister. I was on my period when I had the blood test and when I asked my Gp she said a period shouldn’t affect the results however I’ve

TSH, blood tests, weight gain - I am in the dark
Good morning fellow members! I have hypothyroidism and have suffered with it for about 2 and a half years. Until April of this month I was not advised to have regular blood tests. Since my initial diagnosis and prescription of a daily dose of 75 micrograms levothyroxine, my weight has gained despite

Hi everyone. I am seeking your helpful advice once again. My daughter was diagnosed with High Serous Grade 3 Ovarian Cancer in June 2023 with full debaulking surgery in July 2023. She is currently on 100mg Paraparib which has had an effect on her haemoglobin levels but appear to have now settled.

Re Blood tests
I am under the care of nuclear team as having RAI treatment after papillary cancer n Thyroidectomy. I read various posts here and am now mystified and concerned.

more than 12 months several trips to neurologist, scans and blood tests I’ve now been put back on B12 injections (on the advice of the neurologist to the GP surgery) every 8 weeks, my original GP said my levels were high enough to last for years and he thought it was masking something else so he stopped

My first results after beginning 5mcg T3. Is my FT4 & FT3 too high now?
Hello again, please could I ask for your thoughts on my new blood test (Blue Horizon Thyroid Bronze). 6 weeks ago I started taking 5mcg T3 once a day (via Roseway Labs) alongside my usual 75mcg Levothyroxine as my FT3 was on the low side. (I’m 67, only been hypothyroid for 18 months) Blood was

You were right, of course, Dorset Lady!
I upped the dosage back to 1 mg yesterday and felt way better. I emailed my primary care doc (I think you there refer to this one as a GP) who immediately said I need a slower taper just as you said, to go with what my body is telling me. I'm lucky to have him since the rheum seems to think the adrenals

Is musculosketetal condition associated with PMR
I have not written on the form for a while but would like your thoughts on the following: On Sunday night and all day Monday I had chest pain especially when breathing in, and both shoulders and upper back were sore. It was still very painful on Tuesday so I phoned GP and was told as it was chest pains

hyper/hypo now normal?
Hi all, I have posted previously about being diagnosed hyperthyroid and started on Carbimazole, this was stopped due to persistent neutropenia, then i swung to hypothyroid and now 7 weeks later I’ve had another blood test and everything’s normal! I feel like I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride and thrown

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)

Alarming Thyroid Test Results :(
Hi everyone, I'm new here, nice to meet you all 🥰 I am a bit scared because I received some alarming blood test results. Everything started a couple of months ago when I began experiencing severe episodes of itching all over my body. I went to see my doctor to investigate this issue, and they prescribed

Just to let those who asked know and save me writing umpteen PMs, I saw the haematology consultant this morning following the bone marrow biopsy and all is fine as is bone density. In fact infection/inflamation markers are slightly down on last set of blood tests so discharged back to GP with watching

Gallbladder removal with low platelets
I am in remission with CLL and now after a visit to A&E because of agonising pain they discovered Gallstones and want to remove my Gallbladder asap. My last blood test shows Platelet count - 130 10*9/L ......also low Haematocrit and Red blood cells. Does anybody know if this would be a problem

Just a quick update, Endo appointment 👿
went to Royal Liverpool Endo dept , was hoping to see the consultant who is on TUK Uk list. Unfortunately this did not happen, the person I saw was less than helpful, see I can be tactful, sometimes. Introduced herself as diabetes consultant and she lived up to that name. The first thing she said
