Help with blood results
Hi all I have taken iron tablets prescribed by my GP for over 15 years. My Ferritin levels were low when I was in my 20s and have taken iron tablets since then. I was really unwell last year with an unrelated illness and I haven’t taken my iron tablets for a few months. My results; Serum Iron levels

Blood test prep
Hi, Please can someone remind me what I need to stop taking before thyroid blood tests are carried out? I’m currently taking HRT transdermal oestrogen, DHEA tablets and progesterone tablets. I also started taking b vit complex, methylated folate, niacinimide, omega oils. I’m undiagnosed currently

Hip Replacement
Has anyone had hip replacement surgery with a pacemaker. I have already had a hip replaced but that was before being diagnosed with Heart Failure and having a pacemaker. Just wondered if it is possible as I was told I would probably need the other hip replaced at some point. I have just started having

First test results after adding T3 - I’m confused!
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your help with my latest results and welcome ideas for suggested next steps. Just a reminder, I currently self-treat. In October I posted the following results (Randox) whilst on 62.5mcg of Levo (Eutirox): TSH 1.44 (0.35-5.5) FT4 18.2 (11.9-21.6) FT3 3.96 (3.1

DEXA scan result Poor. What to do about T3? Endocrinologist unhappy with suppressed TSH even before DEXA. How do I advocate for myself now?!
Afternoon All, I’ve just received a letter from my Second Opinion Endocrinologist with the results of my first ever DEXA scan. She is not happy. T Scores (no idea what any of this means, btw!): -1.6 L spine, -0.4 total hip, -0.9 NOF A few months back I was told by Endocrinologist One to reduce my

coming off gnhr analogue injections
I’ve been on gnhr analogue injections for endo and adeno for a year and they relieved all my symptoms. My consultant has now taken me off them as they started wearing off after 3 weeks and he wanted to “see how I got on without them” (which is a whole different matter and I’m quite angry about). I’m

Duluxotine
Hi. I have been on Duluxotine for about 5 months now and have not felt any benefits re: pain. It has been making me wake up.in the night and more tired. I had a cold turkey over Christmas as I couldn't get my meds and had to go back on them after 5 days as I was still rattling. I take Pregablin as well

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

my story begins with my left hip replacement over two years ago and virtually started having symptoms afterwards primarily a very slight tremor in my left hand . I tried chiropractors, Acupuncture, and eventually went to a neurologist and received a Parkinson‘s diagnosis. I am on C/L and have been researching

Update on Head/neck pressure post from a few days ago
I have a previous post discussing this but as a quick recap - for some reason, after about 2.5 years of being on a steady dose, I suddenly felt unwell and v overmedicated on holiday about 8 weeks ago. I dropped my dose by 5, then another 5mcg and felt fine about from about two weeks afterwards until

Foot Cramps
Can anyone suggest anything I can take for foot cramps. I am currently taking 600mg pregablin, ramipril, hrt, zapain and naproxen aswell as iron, calcium and magnesium. The cramps are becoming more and more frequent and my Gp said to eat bananas and rub magnesium into my feet. Last night was unbearable

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Blood test time - still no better
Hello I'm posting again to get views on my latest blood tests, although I think it's probably same as last time. I just don't get anywhere with my doctor. Last time some of you were saying that I possibly had poor conversion and I think my results this time are showing similar sort of numbers. My doctor
