parietal cell antibody lab results
I’m having trouble interpreting my lab results. My Parietal Cell Antibody IgG value is 33.2 units and it said the standard range is 0.0-24.9 units. So it’s above the standard range but not by much. Apparently above 25 units is positive so that means I’m positive? I just want to confirm.

Advice required please
Ten years ago I had ovarian cancer, I’m well now. Gradually ever since the extensive surgery I had, I’ve developed symptoms such as widespread pain, insomnia, stiffness in joints and muscles, severe cramps, fatigue, anxiety/depression, brain fog, irritable bladder, gut issues and restless legs.

Advice on iron test results please
Having had a history of low ferritin and been prescribed iron tablets, I thought I’d do a test to see if I actually needed them. Surprisingly, my ferritin level has improved but is still not optimal to support my thyroid. Should I take the iron supplements?

Anaemia test results
Hi all, I recently did the 'Full health screen' from Monitor My Health and all the vitamin results have come back without proper ranges. Only the graphs. Which is irritating. BUT Would you supplement iron with these results? I can't afford to do a full iron panel, and I had assumed this test would

Endo to end all Endo!!!
I had a bad turn today, i was busy watching tv, when i had the most horrid griping hot poker in my left groin pain. It made me gasp, so i took a painkiller. Does anyone take anything else for it?. Is there a better painkiller than co-codamol. I've just had another pain as i type. Why won't it leave

Iron results-any advice?
Hi! V grateful for all the wisdom from this forum. Just did a full iron panel on Medichecks as ferritin has been consistently low, and I've been on and off ferrous fumarate for years. GP only tests ferritin; advice on here seemed to be to get the full picture. Results below... Ferritin much better

Low MCHC
Hello all. I have a new aspect of my cbc report that has just become Low. It is MCHC. Normal is 31.0 gm/dL to 36.5. I am now 30.7. I would love comments from any others who have had low MCHC. Did you eventually need oxygen. Did they start treatment due to this? How low can it go before you physically

In addition to the rising alc, test shows a few other little changes that i don't fully understand -- my MCV is now reading high (99.50) and my MCHC is low

Brain iron vs Blood iron
Has anyone read that in RLS patients brain iron can be lower than indicated by blood measurements? I read a study out of Quebec about the gene we carry causing a malformation in the brain that makes it harder to uptake the iron.... So blood levels are not accurate in showing brain anemia. My RLS totally

Vit B and Ferritin levels
So had my FBC, Vit B and "iron" tests yesterday. Turns out they only tested Ferritin for iron, but I've got a full anaemia panel with MMH to complete this morning for a full picture. Now to play the waiting game and see what the GP decides to tell me 🙄 Edit: had a text from my surgery to let me know

I’m new to this forum
hi folks, new to this forum. basically was referred to consultant some 6 years ago and started on NSAID naproxen which I had been taking for a while prior and which seemed to be holding pain control quite well. Declined to start DMARDs at that point as a bit scared of side effects and have managed with
