Iron study results help please
HiI had a ferritin test in November and posted my results here and got some help. My result then was low at 10.2ug/l I have since persuaded the doctor to do further tests for iron. Unfortunately she did not repeat ferritin but did an iron study results as follows Serum iron level 19 umol/L [9.0 - 30.4

Wondering if I should get a Partial Thyroidectomy?
I have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid which grew from 11 x 5 x 7 mm to 14 x 9 x 7 mm over the last 6 months. My endocrinologist and ENT believe it’s cancer. No impact on my lymph nodes. My surgery is in a few days and I’m just nervous I’m removing a part of my body that could be fine. Any

too much aldosterone and afib?
I began my journey with Atrial fibrillation in 2010. Low potassium and high blood pressure was considered to be the instigator. I found out a year ago that I have a tumor on an adrenal gland that is producing too much aldosterone. Too much aldosterone causes low potassium and high blood pressure. I currently

Advice Required
hello I’m looking after my elderly uncle. His wife passed on and shortly after that event he was diagnosed with PMR. He’s had it 3 & half years now. He’s struggling and no other family to help as all live in Canada. so. Should he see a specialist and if so what sort of specialist should he see?

Really struggling - Tocilzumab/Pred
Hello again, I’m in real pain around the clock and struggling to see past it at the moment. I’m due my second Toci injection tomorrow but the pain has gone worse since I had the first one last week. I posted that it hadn’t helped at all and was reassured when many of you said it took several weeks

going toilet after laparoscopy
Hi everyone!! I had my diagnostic and excision surgery earlier today and they have found and removed endo tissue. I have been home for around 2 hours now and I was wondering if anyone had any issues with going toilet at all straight after? My bladder feels so full and I have to keep going to the toilet

Sodium cromoglicate - GP won't supply any more
Good afternoon everyone and thank you in advance for any help anyone might be able to offer. I have MCAS and POTS (as well as autoimmune, ME/CFS, histamine intolerance and a raft of other conditions) and recently started on sodium cromoglicate. The outcome has been almost miraculous - the first medication

OK just spoke to gp reception about my T3 being re installed because endo does not want to deal with me! 😠
Hi everyone ❤️ So I've just spoke to gp reception about me calling in to get my T3 prescription, but we're told it had been stopped, this was Friday last week, I explained I had around 4 /5days left. I also explained the endo did not want to deal with me and said she would only prescribe T4, which definitely

I’ve never posted on here before as I’ve been really lucky with my surgery and treatment of my B12. However, on 05/01/24 I was informed that this would be my last injection, I would need a blood test to confirm if my injections were to be continued. Quite open about the fact that everyone in the surgery

Two weeks post Op
Two weeks ago today I had my circumcision
surgery
. The dead
skin
is still peeling off the glans, but not much more to go. I am feeling pretty good, and can't wait to get back to normal life. Stitches are still there, so that's slowing me down and gives me a little discomfort.

Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar
