New small sub cut needles..
I've recently bought the small needles after advice on this platform to change from IM to Subcutaneous and advised not to pinch skin. However yesterday my daughter was discharged from hospital following surgery and the nurse demonstrated giving blood thinning injections with longer needle pinching

Ferritin and folate levels
I have pituitary failure and it's taken me almost 20years to get myself sorted. I take T3 in the form of Cytomel which is reluctantly prescribed by my local Endo but beyond that they are totally useless. I now see a specialist in Leicester who has got a better idea and I now have hydrocortisone, growth

Active B12 levels
I read that : The normal range for active vitamin B12 (holoTC) is around 20 – 134 pmol/L (picomoles per My recent blood test states my active B12 level is 83.2pmol/L but states this is optimal. (medichecks) Do I need to supplement this?

Interesting Dynamic
Least I think so. If I felt as good as I have in the two months at any time prior I would have been ecstatic. Now that has become the standard I understand I am feeling and doing better and still have a long way to go. I am starting to have the head space to start the grieving process of my loss

B12 or folic acid first?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with B12 and folate deficiency, The likely cause is poor diet so I’m happy not to pursue injections at this stage. Her GP has prescribed B12 and 5mg folic acid, both in tablet form. Please can anyone confirm which she should take first and for how long before

Advice on taking Naproxine with Pred
As I flagged up last week - was diagnosed with Bursitis on the right hip. X-ray was done and no fractures found which was such a relief. Prescribed Naproxine 250 mg twice a day and paracetamol if pain got over the top. I also take thryroxine 75 mg and 100mg on alternate days and Losartan 25mg. Magnesium

Adrenal crisis or flare ?
Evening all, I've been a casual observer for many months now - my PMR was 'gone' (ie in remission/on holiday/not troubling me) and I had adjusted to Adrenal Insufficiency and a likely permanent dose of Hydrocortisone and Vitamin D. I recovered from a dose of covid about 3 weeks ago. On Saturday

Anomalous results - follow up
Hello everyone, This is a follow up to my last post two months ago which described the anomalous results from two tests one NHS and one Medichecks only one day apart and both done following the usual protocol. These were done following an increase in levo to 100mcg on 1 June. As I expected when my GP
