Hi Had a phone call on Friday asking me to contract the surgery, following my over range ferritin results. I've now got to have a TIBC, iron and TSAT blood test. I think I need to be honest with the surgery and say I've was supplementing with iron tablets until recently and this is likely to have caused

My job requires I lift 50 lbs. If I have a bilateral mastectomy will I be allowed to return to work once healed, or will I loose my job?

Oedema & fungating cancer
My good friend had a mastectomy a few years ago, she’s now got secondary fungating cancer & having the dressings changed daily by district nurses. They are very kind but don’t have experience of dressing this cancer. Now she has oedema in her hands & legs & getting conflicting advice on whether to put

Iron levels
I was reading one of radd's posts explaining the relationship between iron deficiency and palpitations and decided to look at my recent results. I was diagnosed and started Levo on 19th March. Between 18 March and 30 June my serum iron has dropped from 25.9 to 11.5. The Serum TIBC has dropped

Feeling so tired and absolutely drained
Good afternoon, l wonder whether anyone would be kind enough please to see if they can help me? I have been feeling very tired and drained for several months and I am not sure if it might also have been aggravated by Covid, which I had in March this year. I have had a series of private blood tests,

Her ferritin level from a Medichecks blood test was 75, however when her GP tested it a few weeks later it was just 15.4 and her Haemoglobin was

Help with diagnosing gut issues that suddenly started 18 months ago - Related to sub-optimal B12?
Hi - this is a repost from IBS Network community. I saw posts on here that lower than optimal B12 could be the cause of my gut issues, which dont' seem to be IBD/IBS as calprotectin is low. Any advice - let me know! I'm new to this community and hoping to get some guidance on my gut issues. The heaviness

Finally got results
Got letter from GP with results. He says T3 is slightly below the normal range but if I am feeling well this is the level he would be reasonably happy with. Alkaline phosphatase is very slightly raised as is haemoglobin both to be tested again in 3 months. Still waiting the results of the vitamin D test

Breast cancer and Radiotherapy
I have Lupus/Sjogrens and unfortunately have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy first in order to try and reduce the tumour in order that the operation will be less invasive. After my second MRI I was given the great news that the tumour had reduced by 50%. However

Latest #s - Is my B12 sublingual 1000mcg daily working?
Hello, My Friends (who are most likely asleep as I write this from Ohio). On June 14th I had updated blood tests done that I specifically requested based on suggestions made on this forum so we could see if maybe my B12 treatment is getting into my cells. My B12 blood serum is close to 1000, but we

I have been struggling with Hashimoto since 2016 probably undiagnosed for a long time. My TSH results at the GP have always been around 3-4 and the GP always said your results are in range but I was feeling knackered.
