Folate and Vitamin B results
Good evening, these are my latest vitamin B and Folate results (both normal). As my Folate is still low should I be taking only Folate tablets or a Basic B complex like Thorne which includes Folate. I don't want to take more than is necessary. Serum vitamin B12 243 pmol/L 145 - 569 Normal Serum

ferritin and Levo dose
Guidance please. GP did a blood test including iron as was feeling tired, cold and shaky. Currently on 100 Levo. I never have changed brand and always do a test 9am without medication within 24 hrs beforehand etc. These are results ; no t3 tested for some reason but historically has always been in range

Vitamin B complex
Hello I am hypothyroid, take 75 or 100mcg levothyroxine daily. I started out a couple of years ago with some vitamin tests that showed low vitamin D & low folate. I supplemented with D3/K2 & methyl folate & felt well. I would occasionally use the Better You B12 spray for good measure. This week I switched

after radium 223
hi, husband diagnosed 2017, lots of different treatments, none lasted very long. Including 2 different chemos, xtandi, casodex, etc radium 223 last year. We are in the UK, have now been told we have exhausted treatments under NICE guidelines and he’ll be offered pain relief under palliative care. He

Bright yellow urine, Flank pain, Flakes in urine
Hello, I have not been diagnosed with kidney disease, and actually do not think that what I have is primarily kidney disease - although the kidneys seem to be involved. I am posting my story here (or, some of it - since it is quite long and involved) in case anyone may have some advice for me, or if

Bleeding after salvage radiation
Had radical prostatectomy 12/21. Salvage radiation about 11 mos ago. Currently about one year into Lupron + Abiraterone + prednisone. Recently experienced very mild rectal and/or blood in stool. Is this likely due to the radiation, or something else?

Shingles vaccination and PCa progression?
Hi everyone, I am planning to get Shingles vaccine, but afraid from the consequences. Gleason score 9 (4+5) Radical Prostatectomy 2017 > BCR 2019 SRT 8 weeks + Firmagon 6 injections (over 6 months). G 9 recurrence is inevitable (as we all know) so I am scared to take the Shingles vaccine. Any one

Blood tests ahead of endo appt
NHS referral still pending ("on the waiting list") so am paying to see one of the consultants privately in the mean time. Latest blood test results from Wednesday last week (all done before 9am, fasting, etc etc). My TSH has increased from last medichecks blood test in February, while T4 has dropped

Laparoscopy oophorectomy
So I had surgery on Tuesday, was supposed to be a full open hysterectomy but I opted for laparoscopy removal of large endometrioma which may have been cancerous and removal of ovary and fallopian tube. I now have a 2 week wait for results of endometrioma and omental biopsy, if positive then I will have

Low psa, but have pca
Is there anyone else out there who had a normal PSA,but has prostate cancer. After MRI showing a lesion and in biopsy they see two spots of Gleason 6 cancer, one in each side of prostate. Even though it's a Gleason 6, urologist at top teaching hospital in Philadelphia says I need a radical prostatectomy

Zometa with or without Radium 223?
Hi I have done 1 year with Zometa alongside Docetaxel and more recently Radium 223. I'm halfway through the Radium 223 course but have been advised that after a year, Zometa has reached maximum effectiveness and should be stopped. After a rocky start I'm feeling much better and much less frail.

Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of Radium 223, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals. I'd be grateful for any experience or advice

Vitamin B complex before blood tests
I know that you should stop any b vitamin supplements for 3-7 days before a thyroid test due to the biotin but does this apply to other blood tests. GP wants me to do some blood tests next week for iron etc and wondering if I should stop the b complex before. TIA

paradoxical B12 deficiency. Might this be my problem? Anybody know how to treat?
Hello, I’m wondering if this might be the answer to some of my lingering symptoms some of which are neurological. I’ve always had high levels of B12 in all my Medichecks blood tests. I’ve been hypo for decades and have now settled on 40mcg of T3 split over 2 doses daily and test twice a year. I have

Six Months later - upcoming meeting with my MD (input needed)
[lab tests are from October 2022] So, it is 6 months later and things were going well on 0.075mg Synthroid (75 mcg) and 15 mcg Cytomel divided over 3 daily doses. I have been diligent with supplementing iron using a heme polypeptide every second day, alternating with zinc w/ copper and of course taking

low grade serous ovarian cancer
hello I’m new to the group but I was diagnosed with low grade ovarian cancer in October 2020 and have since had a radical hysterectomy in December 2020 followed by 6 rounds of chemo starting in June 2021 which didn’t remove all the cancer I was given a course of letrozole but this didn’t work for me.
