I had a endometrioma cystectomy, endo was found in other areas including pouch of Douglas. This was ablated not

Pred Tablets or Depo Injection?
I have had uncontrolled RA for nearly 3 years since switching to a biosimilar of enbrel. I've tried 2 rounds of rituximab and have really only been managing through a series of steroid treatments. I'm currently managing on 5mg daily and have been for 8 weeks. I'm due to start tocilizumab shortly but

Breast cancer survivor of 32 years
I just wanted to offer hope to others after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer. I was diagnosed 32 years ago when I was 39. I had a mastectomy and have been lopsided ever since!! But I'm here. I've seen my children grow up and watched then have children of their own. I even delivered my grandson.

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

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’
