B12 injections stopped by gp after 5 years treatment on nhs
I was diagnosed with chronic b12 deficiency years ago - my GP started giving me injections every 3 months and my nurse told me that it was for life. I’ve always eaten meat my whole life - so my deficiency was not caused by diet. They have stated that my deficiency is due to malabsorption, but my intrinsic

High Urate Levels Symptoms?
I've just turned 50, and been having a few symptoms of generally unwellness. Pain in the back / Kidney area. GP thinks I may have pulled this, but I wasn't so sure. Also intense Brain Fog, confusion, memory lapse now and again, with fatigue and tiredness. It feels like my head is being squeezed and

US Senator Joe Lieberman died from MF
Just read this in Wall St Journal. Reproduced below from: https://www.yale64.org/remembrances/lieberman.htm since the WSJ version is in a paywall. -- His son calls the prior condition old fashioned MPD. I assume it was PV, suggests his Dr may have been likewise old fashioned and maybe he didn't

Prescribed levothyroxine at last!
After a long struggle, you know how it goes... I have finally been offered a trial of levothyroxine by a GP. My Medichecks results in 2020 were ignored by my GP (serum TSH 6 range 0.7-4.2) plus presence of large amount of antibodies. NHS ones kept coming back 'normal'. A different GP agreed to

20 hours of non-injecting
Having completed a two week trial I did not inject until my stuffy head came back. It was then three days of recovery but nothing severe. I thought that I might be experiencing shortness of breath at about 6 hours but nothing definitive. I woke up at 11 am with my stuffy head and injected and went

Charlatan or science?
hi folks, I am awaiting diagnosis of Grave’s disease and during the last 3 months since my blood tests via the NHS and the waiting game to see an endocrinologist, I have been researching hyperthyroidism. The internet is FULL of people claiming there is a link between micro biome and leaky gut and Graves

12dpt negative blood test, doc asked to keep meds for more 5 days and retest. Anyone?
hi all, this is my second Fet, on the first I tested on day 10pt and got 9ml for hcg, on 12pt I got <1 and of course the same on 14dp. O believe I had a chemical pregnancy. Now it’s the second fet and I tested negative on 12pt, doctor might believe in late implantation as he asked me to keep taking

Symptoms
Tsh 12.5 miu/lT4 16.4 pmol/l Both have improved since my last thyroid blood test but these past few weeks I have shortness of breath and pain in my neck. Could this be down to my t4 been too high even though its within range. Thanks

TSH/T3/T4/Vit B & D results
My previous Endo (private) retired last October and the new one (private) that I was suggested to see immediately reduced my Lio from 100 to 75 & the T3 from 20 to 10. Originally I had wanted to see an NHS Endo 3 years ago but none were available, hence the private route. My readings are T4 18.8 -

How long does it take for NHS to run this test? I had the test done last Tuesday, but the results are still not showing on my records.
