Hashimotos
Hi. I've had hypothyroidism for 27 year's and was born with hypercalcemia familiar. In February I noticed my right gland area was enlarged and hoarse voice. I went for a blood test on April 1st to be told that I was slightly overactive and they would adjust medication at next routine blood appointment

Chronic migraine and chronic sore throat
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody is struggling (and this for years) with chronic migraine and chronic sore throat/chronic tonsillitis. I have come to think that part of my migraines are caused by an underlying chronic infection. As usual, blood tests are fine. Antibiotics work for the throat

Benefits of yoga 🙏
Does anyone else do yoga and have information or experience on it reducing portal hypertension ? I have been doing yoga more often, and it is great from a stress reducing and muscle toning perspective, I came across a research article about how yoga decreases the sympathetic and increases the parasympathetic

Advice on some strange blood test results!
Hi all I hope you’re doing well! I’m writing on this forum to get some advice on a number of strange blood test results and symptoms I’ve been experiencing. Just for context, I’m a 26 year old cycling female with normal regular periods. Since the last year I noticed substantial weight gain (1 stone

Perineum Irritation / Pain
I’m Stage 4A prostate cancer (spread outside prostate to lymph nodes only) in week 3 of treatment. I’m doing Lupron shots every 3months + Abiraterone with Prednisone daily, will start radiation in a couple weeks. I was tested on day 8 and my PSA had already fallen from 8.7 to 2.78.

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

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

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

Who else takes selenium ?
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 ?

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding

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,
