Iron blood test - definitive list
I got my recent blood test back, haven’t yet posted all results to my profile, but my ferritin was rock bottom (7 out of 7-271 range) so I’m going to get a full iron test before I share all the numbers here and decide my next med change. What should I ask for: Iron Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC

booked in for full hysterectomy
hey I had a lap back in October and it looks like the endo has returned so I’m booked in for a total hysterectomy! I’m really scared about it all. How are you after yours? Has it changed you at all? I’ve already started hrt and get on really well with the oestrogel especially with less adhd symptoms

Had my lap today.
Thought I'd update on my surgery today for anyone that hasn't had theirs yet. My bilateral cystectomy went really well. I had three rods put in and my ovarian cysts were pulled out through my belly button (lol ewww). Had endometrial ablation and mirena. Turns out I was absolutely riddled with endo but

Blood Test Results
Would someone please be able to tell me what these blood test results mean please? I did add them on to a previous thread but I don't think they were showing up. I was told by my GP back in July that my TSH levels were low . I admitted that I did sometimes forget to take Levo so she wanted me to go

Getting there, but slowly
More blood tests back now but still don't have all the figures. Serum immunoglobulins all normal Coeliac screen - negative Ferritin 197 (range 13-150) Transferrin saturation 38% (15-45) He's not happy about this even though it's "normal" Homocysteine - normal IFA - still negative Gastric parietal antibodies

Would appreciate hearing from people going through similar?
Hi I had a total hysterectomy a year ago - including ovaries, the whole lot. For a while I felt fine, then gradually struggled to breath, raspy throat, lack of energy, breathless, it got worse and was admitted to hospital. When I came home I got estrogen patches, am now on 25 mg and felt much better

Not great odds!!
Well, today we got confirmation that we have been booked in for transfer on Sunday. We are using donor eggs with my DH sperm. Both were frozen as DH has had a failed vasectomy reversal. We had 9 eggs, 5 thawed successfully but only 2 fertilised. When I spoke to the endrometriologist, I got the impression

Well, so much for feeling normal....
Some of you may have read my long story on the Enhertu infusion. I have it in my lungs, spine and then it spread to my liver and the next treatment (Xeloda, I think) and after three months still progression. If you have the time, grab a cup of coffee and read. OR, if you are having trouble sleeping

Hysterectomy Recovery
Hi everyone. As like most of us on here I have been suffering for many years. I decided after much consideration to pay for private treatment. I have had to borrow the money to pay for this but I know if I hadn’t that I would not have been able to continue with my full time job so would have been without

Iron Blood Test Results
Hi i’m wondering if anyone could advise on my iron blood test. I had a recent thyroid test which showed Ferritin at 69.1 ug/L (range 30-150). This was through Thriva. I have since tested with Medicheck and my ferritin seems to have reduced. Am just wondering if there was a way I could increase ferritin

First Appointment - venting
First appointment with an endocrinologist this afternoon and it felt like a slow motion car crash. They tried to be kind and sympathetic, I could tell they genuinely wanted to be reassuring… but I just started seeing red flags as soon as they told me “I spend most of my time taking people off levo

Taking collagen
Is collagen worth taking? I have been diagnosed with osteopenia and am taking Risedronate. I am also taking Anastrozole after having a mastectomy . I take vitD and K , my diet is good and I walk every day. Just wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve my bone health. Thanks.

HELP, PLEASE??!!
I just had a total knee replacement. For 3 years now buprenorphine has helped, but today I took hydromorphone for pain that my surgeon prescribed, Nexium that my family doctor recommended to take to keep the aspirin I have to take postop to keep from getting ulcers, and cyclobenzaprine. Unfortunately
