Finally got a FULL 'Liver panel' done - and these are the results ....
Blood samples taken on 29 September 2015 and at last includes an ALT value which shows an AST/ALT ratio of less then 0.5, which I guess I should he happy about. Not sure about the Albumin/Globulin ratio which I've seen other people mention - I don't really get it. Anyway, the results are: BILIRUBIN

My anxiety dizziness is unbearable
I'm 18 years old and I have bipolar 2 along with terrible health anxiety. Lately a new frightening symptom that I'm having is extreme dizziness. I feel that every time I get up I will collapse and there are periods when it gets better for a few days but then it usually comes back when I'm very stressed

Sometimes, it really ISN'T all about the thyroid
I've been knackered for months, feeling squishy-flat, no interest in sex, not getting enjoyment from anything and, recently, have gone off food (still eating the same amount but not deriving any pleasure from it). Don't even feel like exercising and I love exercising. I've spent months thinking that

More on Magnesium
My AF seems less frequent in the summer. Maybe it is because I get more sun exposure and thus more vitamin D. The comment on tea could be of interest to tea drinkers. I found this information on the website below. Hopefully, this info has not already been posted. http://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Magnesium

Hi Christine, Jjlinden and everyone whose help has meant so much. Early hours of Thursday my husband was in agony with gout. He took the dreaded colchicine 4 tablets on Thursday and 2 on Friday. At least he was able to walk into the hospital later Friday to see the nephrologist...... What can I say..

High Bicarbonate and Albumin
Hi,does anyone know if there is any link between B12 deficiency and high Bicarbonate and high Albumin? My son's results have both come back higher than the normal range and I wondered if there was a connection, he is currently on monthly injections and uses a spray daily. Thanks

Hypothyroidism and Lithium
I love my lithium, I really do. It's made the world a much better place to be and it's stopped me crying all the time. So, yes, big fat yay for lithium. However, I'm now wondering whether my long-standing hypothyroidism / Hashimoto's (diagnosed 20 years ago) has been affected by the lithium. I'd always

Insomnia during second pregnancy
I'm about 24wks into my second pregnancy - 18m post PPP with my first baby. I'm well other than being tired but I can't sleep! Or I can, but for short bursts (say an hour or two). It doesn't help that toddler and work means I can't nap when I'm tired but even when I should sleep I'm just - awake. I don't
