New blood test results - help needed before GP appt
Summary of previous issues: I was put on 50 mcg Levo in November 2022 and was refused an increase by two GPs at my practice after a test in January (they said my results were "normal"). Advice from this forum that I was undermedicated. I decided to wait another 8 weeks and then pay for a private test

Next steps on my GP journey - advice please!
Hi everyone, I've just made another appointment with my GP now my blood test results are back. I'm told there are 'no abnormal issues', but I can't have a copy of them until I've spoken to the GP. (So no idea really!) My symptoms all remain from my previous post over 2 weeks ago, hence me requesting

Help with interpreting daughter's blood results
Hello, I would like some help with understanding my daughter's blood results. She is undiagnosed but symptomatic. She will be on Vit D loading dose shortly as that is very low. Like me (in a separate post I'm also requesting help for my own blood tests) she has the MTHFR gene which I understand affects

Vitamin D
Good afternoon, I have been asked by my gp to take an over the counter B vitamin supplement that contains at least 400mcg of folic acid. I managed to buy Thorne Basic B complex with folate but I am finding the tablets difficult to swallow because of their size. Can anyone recommend another brand of vitamin

Looking for support - glioblastoma
Hi, My 72 year old wife was recently diagnosed with a grade 4 glioma / glioblastoma. Short history is one hospital wanted to dive right in and do surgery. A 2nd opinion initially ruled it as inoperable after a biopsy. Then they did some tests to determine viability of an "awake" surgical resection.

New testing available at Tesco
I just spotted this on social media. Vit D test is only £8 and for just a TSH test £10. I'll look into what else they offer that might be of use. With any luck they might expand it to include full thyroid function? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/newfoundland-tesco-covid-nhs-holly-williams-b2290046

Advice on lowering high-ish saliva cortisol levels
Hello wonderful people! I've read a few posts here about lowering cortisol levels. Mine is not too high, but it is still elevated on the saliva test and results in symptoms like elevated blood pressure from time to time, high pulse from time to time which stops me from sleeping, tired-but-wired feeling
