Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
In a recent pathology test, my gastroenterologist was concerned with my low haemoglobin count and a high reticulocyte count. She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an iron infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get

Iron Levels
I am a 74-year-old woman living in New Zealand. I was on Ropinirole for restless legs for approximately 3 years. Augmentation set in and I saw his forum went to my doctor who has changed my medication to Pregabalin. Currently on 50mg per day as I weaned off Ropinirole (completely weaned off for 3 nights

diverticulosis, itis, IBS etc
Hi everyone, I’ve taken note of discussions on here regarding gut issues vis a vis under active thyroid. Does levothyroxine of itself also cause gut issues? Many thanks.

Ovary discomfort a month after failed ET.
I’ve been experiencing some dull aches in my ovary over the last few days. Occasionally I get sharp pains in my ovary, although I have always had this now and again. It has been about a month since my ET which failed and I have had a bleed since. And I have already ovulated. I spoke to my clinic and

unknown rash
hi everyone! Last week I posted pictures of my son’s face rash asking if it looked like cutaneous lupus. For those who are just reading now, he had this rash for about two months now— started on his ear which was raw red then went away. A few weeks later the rash developed bright red spots on his face

Food sensitivities
Hi everyone, just looking for a bit advice re food issues. I have had long term issues with constipation, which resolved when I went dairy free. I also find I feel much better on a gluten free diet so have been GF and DF for about 1 year. These are both very tricky to manage when eating out and I know

3 failed coloscopies
I have had three failed colonoscopies in the past, one being totally horrifically painful. Due to the growth of very large polyps one over 2cm I am being asked to have another colonoscopy. To say that I am terrified is an understatement. I was told by the consultant 10 years ago that I was a very

colonoscopy perforation risk
I saw my PCP and told him there was rectal bleeding and he immediately said I need a colonoscopy. However, the last time I had one I almost got a perforation. The doctor had to stop the procedure. That was a year ago. During the procedure I felt a burning, searing pain which was not normal so I know

Pluvicto and vomiting
anyone else have that side effect? I had my first injection exactly one week ago. I didn’t notice any side effects, but two days ago I had the dry heaves, and today a couple of full vomits. Funny that I had no food this morning and only cup of water for meds. Followed by some Pepto-Bismol, 1 hour later

UPDATE on Iron and Vitamin D
I just talked to my Doctor and he is putting me on 50,000 1 tablet a week vitamin D and has put me in for Iron infusion. I was surprised he said that I was iron deficient (not Anemic) but this is going in the wrong direction and is getting out of control and I need my iron to be closer to 100 (shocked

*Long Read Warning* How do you know if you’re getting better mentally?
Just need to vent, if you read this and commented thankyou, it helps getting another perspective on the situation. Male, 20 Parents went through a divorce in 2022 and it was ugly to say the least. (Mom was an alcoholic, dad was a cop and emotionally distant due to his Mexican culture and upbringing
