Test results
Hi all, Was wondering if anyone could offer advice on my latest test results? I was also being tested for diabetes at the same time so unsure if some of the results are from that test. T3, T4 and TSH all look within normal ranges to me but Sodium and Potassium are out of normal range and don’t know

Stop and/or contain diarrhea!
Hi, All -- Just joined. We just returned from an agonizing (for me) wedding weekend. I suffered from diarrhea Friday-today and took Imodium every day -- sometimes several times. My bouts seem to be more unpredictable. I'm trying everything I know of (except pharmaceuticals.) We have a two-week trip

Possible explanation for lack of hepatic B12 storage
I've seen a few posts on this forum regarding the seemingly inexplicable variations in B12 dosing schedules needed to keep different individuals from experiencing signs of deficiency. Furthermore, it seems that every MD believes one should store enough B12 in the liver for lengthy periods of time without

Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call. Not being a fan of medication I began following a diabetic diet and through reading I found so much more information that I was

A tip from a fellow panic attacker who thinks can help us ...
Hello all. Today, I had a 74 yr old lady (who suffers from panic attacks) tell me she finally found something that has helped her! I have not tried or done this yet but thought I'd pass it along to my friends to see if they've heard of it, or have tried it before. She drastically reduced the sodium intake

Does this sound ok?
My adult daughter was recently in hospital with a prolapsed disc and had a blood test which showed Hb of 10. Her GP did an iron profile and B12 as her uncle and grandfather had PA. B12 was 169 and ferritin 13 and HCT MCV and transferrin results abnormal. He is starting her on loading B12 injections

Electrolytes and postpartum psychosis
Hey!Recently i read an article, where it was explained that lithium is used as a mood stabilizer due to its capacity to have an impact on ionic in-cell balance and also on transportation of ions of sodium and calcium between cells. And that the imbalances of sodium may be one of the causes of depression

Iron/bloods... confused!
Hi, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia in May and have been taking iron (gentle iron) and recently had a blood test to see if it had improved. I was annoyed to find that they didn't test ferritin again, just a full blood count. My haemoglobin is now 135 (range 120-150) so bang on. I spoke

Interdependance of iron load and thyroid function
The interrelationship between iron load and thyroid function is pretty well accepted, but I post here a paper showing the effect in children (can extrapolate safely to adults I think). It underlines the need for good iron loading to help rule out or confirm hypothyroidism.
