Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

Low platelets
Hi all, my mum is just going through chemo for small cell lung cancer. She has just had her second treatment, which was carboplatin and etoposide. This knocked for six and she has been in hospital with low white blood cells, low haemoglobin and has no immune system. I appreciate these are common side

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

Is anyone here familiar with metabolomic analysis?
I've heard about metabolomics only recently while listening to a Dr Berg podcast. In short, if I understood correctly, it differs from regular blood tests by looking for the concentration of things (like amino acids, minerals, polyphenol, etc...) within your cells rather than the concentration in your

Viramin B12 deficiency
I am Jak 2 ET and taking 1000mg hydroxycarbamide daily and 75mg aspirin. I saw my consultant today and he said my vitamin B12 levels were extremely low so I have to have B12 injections every other day for two weeks then one a week for four weeks. I'll be doing another blood test then to see if it's

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given

WBC and Lymphocytes are increasing
Hello everyone, I am posting after a year. My wife was diagnosed with CLL in 2020. She is still in W&W form. Her WBC and Lymphocyte are climbing linearly. I'd like to hear from hematologists, CLL specialists, and CLL fellows and so on. She has TP53 muted, 13q deletions, and 12 trisomy. Her last blood

Hi I have recently had thyroid antibodys tested and results have come back raised. Just had selenium blood test done and doctor suggested taking 200mcg abselen selenium. How well have this worked for other users and what does it help with altogether ?

Blood test
I have an app with endocrinologist next week. I know he will want to take bloods so what should i do about my thyroxine . Normally if bloods were taken at 9 I d not take my tablet until after the test but my app isn’t until 1.30. Should I take my levo that day or not??

Private Blood tests
Hiya. New to the forum, as was diagnosed with graves last week. I've done some research, and want to get various bloods done ( probably Blue Horizon, which seems to be pretty good??) My question is, amongst the plethora of tests to choose from, which ones are best. I definitely want the vitamin one,

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Levo Brands/NICE guidelines
TT two years’ ago from being hypER with goitre. Now on 125mgs Accord Levo. Various ‘symptoms’ but apart from weight gain my main concerns are breathlessness/balance issues/food sensitivities. An interesting consult with my gp this morning and I would like to see what comments the forum might

cardiac ablation good experience
hi everyone, I have just had my cardiac catheter ablation for my ventricular ectopic beats ( I have a very high ectopic load) It has gone well and I was really well looked after by the team . In case anyone is waiting for their ablation thought it might be helpful to share my experience. In my case

Waiting for Mr. T
I had an interesting development this week in my PCa journey. I went in for my quarterly hospital visit, which would normally include blood tests, meeting with my medical oncologist, and my last 3-month injection of Eligard. Blood tests were great, PSA and testosterone still undetectable. My MO decided

I am a 74-year-old woman living in New Zealand. I was on Ropinirole for restless legs for approximately 3 years. Augmentation set in and I saw his forum went to my doctor who has changed my medication to Pregabalin. Currently on 50mg per day as I weaned off Ropinirole (completely weaned off for 3 nights

Devastated
I went to my first three month blood test today. I am at Rai 0. I feel great. My WBC and Lymphocytes doubled in 3 months. I am starting V and O on Monday. I am pissed and scared. I had 3 months on Wait and Watch. Chronic was supposed to mean 3 years or 10 years before treatment. My wife and I are driving
