Iron lab values, how to interprete?
Hi everyone, Checking my iron is not part of the regular treatment I receive from the internist for my hypothyroidism. Many years ago a former internist checked my ferritin once per few years and it always seemed at the bottom of the range. He never mentioned it as problematic. I have now asked my GP

Update on inconsistent ferritin results NHS vs Medichecks
Following on from this post (which links to lots of others - apologies) I have now taken another medichecks test (thanks to all the tips to attaining a "bloodbath" earlier this week - which worked perfectly i may add). This was to send the blood to a different medichecks lab that uses the same platform

Advice welcomed pls.
I’ve had all the classic signs of low b12 for about 18 months had 6 different drs involved and none really paid close enough attention to my symptoms which I think is typical of b12 deficiency diagnosis. Anyway I had privet and nhs blood work done , My b12 came back low at 35.1 pmol/L I was wondering

Partially Self-medicating?
Had GP telephone apptment recently. AWFUL. Initially asked about recent Iron Panel test result. He said it was fine. I asked about the Transferrin Stn result of 59% as note below the result saying consider haemochromatosis if over 50%. He dismissed that completely - saying it looked absolutely

Struggling with my weight

Hashimoto’s and raised liver enzymes. Anyone know anything about it or have themselves raised enzymes?
GGT and ALT are sometimes too high, sometimes they’re normal. Three scans have shown they’re are no liver abnormalities. No enlargement or fattiness but something is obviously wrong because it’s accompanied by tenderness in the liver region upon waking. As soon as I either intake a few sharp breaths

So the doc did some bloods....
Hi all. You may or may not recall I had some bloods carried out privately. The doctor wasn’t keen on them so order these. Luckily my endo accepted blue horizons tests and upped my levo to 100mg anyway. That was two weeks ago however I have waited on adding any vits etc until I got these back. Haven’

I am a PhD researcher at the University of Strathclyde, and I research the history of vasectomy in Britain, looking at things like why it became more popular, how attitudes towards it changed

Cystectomy Advice
Hi all, I finally have a surgery date to get rid of my ovarian cyst! I’m very pleased, as it’s 8.6cm and making daily life painful to navigate. They’ve also said they’ll look for and treat any endo they find (still hoping to be diagnosed) while they’re in there. I’ve got two weeks to prepare, any advice
