Update on ferritin testing issue - private vs. NHS results
Hi everyone. Posting as a new post, rather than add to the long thread on my previous post. https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/150959532/medichecks-vs-nhs-results I have a reply from Medichecks. Hmm... Whilst the info seems to align with what you posted FlipperTD , they don't seem to

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness? I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and often wake up with brain fog. I often wake up during the night to pee. I often feel the need to fall asleep in the afternoon

Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score mean under nhs?
I see this on record Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score of ACG 5. What does it mean how does it impact me in any way.? I have started asking for blood tests and my GP has not been happy about it. Surgery has never been keen to blood tests though this seems to have popped up on record

Time between Afib trigger & episode
Hi all, I've very recently been diagnosed with Afib (thanks, Apple Watch for highlighting the problem I'd never heard of) and have been to the GP/hospital since February to get a proper diagnosis. So far all my results are showing normal (blood pressure, Echo, blood tests, that sort of thing). ECG did

My question is about the best way of getting a diagnosis of scleroderma or of discounting it?
I was diagnosed recently with Raynaud's disease which can get quite painful, but is manageable. I have GORD and a small hiatus hernia. However I do get abdominal pain and have asthma exacerbated by allergies. I have just had a CT scan and was told the pain is probably musco-skeletal, plus I have an atrophied

In shock, TSH from 20.3 to 0.103!
hello, I posted a while ago as I was getting so concerned at the rate my TSH was increasing, I had increased my levothyroxine gradually to 175mg with no improvement, the last bloods and drs appointment I had I was given instructions to increase to 200mg which I believe is the limit for my weight. by

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

New to Levo, question about TSH aim
I've been taking Levo 50mg per day for 3 months, and just had the first blood test result back. My TSH is at 2.85, and they are saying that I should stay on this dose and get tested again in a year. The last test before I started medication (January) my TSH was 8.6, T4 12.8. Both were done first thing

Further advice needed from you lovely people.....Please
Some of you will remember my recent post about my private blood test results and a scan which showed I have a very small thyroid......... Test results shown above, all vits and mins were ok. On advice from some of you knowledagable people, I increased my Levo by 25mg and informed my Gp and endocrinologist

FasFasting before blood test
hi, following my last post, my gp has agreed to add B12, ferritin etc to my annual thyroid review. I've been told here to not take my usual morning dose before the test;however, looking online most medical websites say its not necessary to fast. Anyone care to clarify for me please. thanks

PMR since July 2018 and down to 1mg. Enter GCA
My Bio is pretty well up to date, until a week ago. Quick summary of things is: I'm ok, vision ok, diagnosed with GCA, and I've gone from 1mg (nearly done...or so I thought) to 60mg. Now on my third day of 60mg and waiting on new bloods I did today and a call from the consultant tomorrow to discuss

Confusing Lab Test Results
I had a recent PMR flare that necessitated my temporarily going up from the 5mg I had tapered down to to a much higher dose. 20mg for 2 weeks, followed by 15mg for one week and then a drop to 10mg, where I have stayed for almost a month before I resume DL’s slow 5 week taper. Fortunately, my increased
