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

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!

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)

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

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening
