Implications of positive if ‘weak ANA test’?
I have dry-eye confirmed by Moorfield’s. I also have dry mouth and my dentist said she suspected I had Sjorgren’s. When tested I proved to have a ‘weak positive ANA test’. What, if anything does that mean?

What tests are needed?
Hi, My husband is on Lithium and his regular bloods from that clinic showed his thyroid results were off so he was sent to the GP for testing. The nurse said his results were fine. We haven’t been able to access the results and I imagine they only did TSH or basic tests. I want to get our own tests

Liver, hyperthyroidism, carbimazole
I have been on 15mg of carbimazole for a month to treat my Graves relapse. I started on 30mg and felt worse than being hyper so my endo said I could take half. It has taken me about a month to feel slightly better. I am improving although my insomnia is still challenging. I had a blood test this

Systemic Inflammation Score [SIS] & PCa Survival
New paper below [1]. Over the years, I have posted PCa studies on inflammation markers. The Systemic Inflammation Score [SIS] hasn't been used in a PCa study until now. In essence, almost any marker of inflammation, or combination thereof, can be used to determine how bad one's subclinical inflammation

Low ferritin again
Unsurprisingly my ferritin has fallen back to the very bottom of the range yet again after i ceased iron supplements back in march. Raised a call with the surgery this morning and within 6 minutes of raising the call online it had been closed by the enhanced care practitioner as saying no action required

Still on 50mcgs Levo and symptoms returning…
Morning everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but I’m still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning. My GP refuses to increase because my last blood test done in January showed my FT4 at 19.4 and he said he doesn’t want it to get any higher than that

How do you work out your percentage through the range please?
0.27 - 4.2 R 2.4 mIU/L FREE T3 3.1 - 6.8 R 3.7 pmol/L FREE THYROXINE 12 - 22 R 12.6 pmol/L How do you convert your results into a percentage of the total range please? I thought you took the top of the range figure as 100% then worked out 1% then multiplied by the result but I don’t think
