Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Not good
Sorry for the long post. For the last few months I haven't been good with this pain in my ear/eye/teeth that the neurologist put down to trigeminal neuralgia and gave me epilepsy tablets that have made me very tired and haven't really stopped the pain. About a month ago I had a really bad pain in my

Help with short synacthen test results
I originally posted this on the thyroid section of this site, but there appears to be some good experience of the short synacthen test here too, so I hope this is ok. Quick background, I’m 38 years old, male, and been experiencing pretty debilitating symptoms for about 6 years - fatigue, brain fog,

Help to updose T3
Hi Lovely people, I haven't been on for a while after one issue after another. I am on Liothyronine 20mcg 3 times a day. I have found my T3 dropping although still in range as my endo says so not concerned. I only started putting weight on just before being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That was

Hyperthyroidism blood results.
Morning all, I posted here several weeks ago as I had been taken off Levothyroxine after high t4 results. I have half a thyroid as had a benign growth. I paid for a blood test and after a couple of issues with the finger prick tests, I got a nurse friend to take my bloods. I got the results this morning

A night in the life of RLS
Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

genetic tests for conversion issues etc
hi lovely forum users I’ve finally got an endo appointment via my doctor no date yet. I doubt they’ll smile on my taking ERFA but I’ve no intention of going back to Levo only as it worked less and less for me over the years. I’ve wondered if I have a T4 to T3 conversion issue and have found a blue horizon

Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

Help understanding short synacthen test result

Recently diagnosed, WBC numbers stable but RBC/HGB trending down
Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed this October. My current WBC is around 15,000. I am Del 13q and mutated, so good markers. My 3 month blood draw actually showed a slight decrease in WBC, however for the third draw in a row my RBC and HGB have gone down. HGB is low end of normal and RBC is slightly

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

blood test
The results are in. I don’t know what to think of this months appointment and I’m confused and anxious but also a bit relived that it’s over. My husbands GFR was at 39 today, which has been the pretty steady number we’ve been trending towards. He had an Albumin/creatine urine test and the results were
