Bloods Show Lots of Deficiencies
Hey, I’m new to the site and as some of you seem to have some really good knowledge I’m hoping you might be able to help me. I had a little girl 3 years ago and since then, my health has been really poor- always having infections or needing medication for something. I found out I had underactive thyroid

My daughter with stage 4 but oligometastatic is having single mastectomy dec 2. Says she is not worried about surgery. Is completely unraveled as my husband says. Two kids 18 months and 5. Good husband. Made them all move to huge rental and sell current home because she said gives her ptsd about chemo

Knee pain
So, at work today I developed a bit of pain behind my knee- it also had a sense of numbness around it. Just got in with the day, but sitting in the sofa tonight, it’s been more painful, and it’s been difficult to bed without tight pain. I asked my daughter to look and she said there is a lump behind

Starting again, any advice?
Hi ladies, After a miscarriage from FET we are thinking of getting the ball rolling again for a new cycle, we have no Frosties left now. In our first round we stupidly thought that it was a given we would be successful and didn’t really do anything different with our lifestyle. Does anyone have any advice

May I have some help with these blood test results please. I can see that they’re mostly too low but your interpretation is invaluable
Free T3 4.7 (3.5 - 6.5) TSH 1.62 (0.35 - 5.5) Free T4 14.8 (10.5 - 21.0) Ferritin 68.9 (22 - 322) Iron 15.7 (14 -31.3) Transferrin 3.67 a tad above range (2.15 - 3.65) Iron saturation 19% (16 - 50) Folate 14.93 (> 5.38) whatever that means! I get very muddled about ferritin, iron/saturation and transferrin

Mild platelet elevation
Hi, I have been stuck in limbo with mildly raised platelets since March 2020. Started at 420, then 430, 440 and now have been 450 since October 2020. My gp freaked me out (I have anxiety) by ordering a number of blood tests and scans to look for malignancy. Some tests are still to be done but all that

Zoladex - any advice on supplements?
Hi everyone - as a little background, I had surgery 4 months ago to drain what turned out to be two very large endometrioma on one ovary. I was then put on Zoladex, intended to be for 3 months until surgery for a cystectomy and removal of the rest of the endo - the approach is being taken to help protect

Can vitamin deficiencies suppress tsh?
I previously had hyperthyroidism and a hemi thyroidectomy to remove a 6cm toxic nodule in late 2018. Since then I have been increasingly unwell. So I've paid for finger prick blood tests with thriva. And my results are interesting. My ferritin is borderline at 17.5 ug/l (13-150) My iron is also pretty

Moving need help finding a new oncologist
I have been reading this site for a while, but this is my first post. I was diagnosed with BC in 2013, had a mastectomy and reconstruction in 2014. I did not have any chemo or radiation. In June of 2019 I found a lump on my head that was diagnosed as metastatic breast cancer. A scan showed a few spots
