I need a rant!
WARNING: MAY STRAY INTO MELODRAMATIC SELF PITY So.....after very recently being rejected for a referral to NHS endo I have now been told that my ultrasound has been rejected too. I asked for this as I can now see a visible swelling on my neck and it would help me get a NHS diagnosis for my Hashi's.

Optimal testing regimen
With a PCa with aggressive features (GS9,low-PSA,intraductal,BRCA2+) apparently senescent for the time being, I need an aggressive monitoring regimen. Shortly meeting a doctor at an oncology department, I will as the most important tests ask for the following four, preferably every two months (CTC

Where to next with throat issues?
I had the results of my barium swallow and nothing abnormal was found. Despite that my swallowing problems are getting worse and I can’t bear anything around my neck because of the discomfort it causes. The ENT doctor won’t carry out any further tests, is there anything I can do to help myself?

Calcium supplements - continued
I have been reading the replies to Narwhal with interest, and note that calcium carbonate is not a good idea. I avoid any supplements generally, but I have wondered about taking a little calcium, vitamin D, and Vitamin K. I have just looked at the ones for sale on the Boots website, and found that the

Phosphorus - ALT Phos!?
Hi! I was wondering if your alt phos is high, would taking MCHC calcium, which has phosphorus in it, be okay? I wasn’t sure if phosphorus and alt phosphate are related. Thanks!

Change in plans - looks like neuroendocrine
From my last post, I had an allergic reaction 15 minutes into my first dose of Docetaxel - part of a clinical trial combining Docetaxel and Xofigo (Radium-223). Two weeks later, I had a second reaction despite additional precautions (oral decadron 3 days prior, IV Benadryl and Decadron immediately prior

Options after Zytiga fails
I've been on the Magnitude clinical trial for 8 months and now Zytiga has failed. I have extensive bone mets (greater than 30). The most recent bone scan shows 5 new mets so I'll be off the trial. I'm in Canada and think my next options are either Radium 223 or chemo. I've had genetic testing and

Priorities for achalasia research
One of the exercises we have been undertaking in Achalasia Action is trying to work out what research would gain most support from those with achalasia. After all, people with achalasia are the ones most affected! So this is a brief summary of our work so far, and we would value any comments, suggestions

Taking Levothyroxine at night
Hi. Just a quick question, I’m taking various supplements, including calcium, as prescribed by my Naturopath, and my GP has agreed to prescribe me Levothyroxine liquid rather than the tablets as I couldn’t tolerate them (because of the starch that’s in them). So I was just wondering if anybody takes

eGFR after stone problems
Hello. I’m new here and would like to talk. I have kidney stones (2 in each kidney) and my eGFR is poor at 41 which puts me at 3b. Creatinine 1.46 (nr 0.51 - 0.95), Urea 44 (nr 17 - 43). I have kidney stones because of a medical condition which requires a medication which pushes a lot of Calcium through

The Summary letter says: RESULTS: With the lowest T-score of 1.5 in the Neck of Femur and Lumbar Spine (L1-L4) this examination confirms the diagnosis of Normal BMD as per WHO classification including ISCD recommendations. RECOMMENDATIONS

LBBB
I went to the primary dr to check up annual. They found out that I have abnormal LBBB. Again, I went to Cardiologist to explain to me. The calcium test showed 0. My heart is good because the wall and perfusion is good. But I don’t understand why I do have LBBB? Please explain.

Hashimotos/hypothyroidism low calcium?
Hi, I just did a private blood test to check calcium as I am so exhausted a lot of the time and I do get pain in my throat a lot (not swallowing) around my thyroid area. I know my friend had hyperparathyroidism and had adenomas removed. So I was expecting my calcium level to be high but it came back

Magnesium Supplements
I'm taking 350mg soluble magnesium carbonate every other day, as suggested by my GP before I was diagnosed. However, I have read that Magnesium Glycinate is specifically recommended for absorption and also as a sleep aid of sorts. Would welcome any feedback - i.e. what dose should be taken daily

Blood tests = Can of Worms. Anaemia or Hyperthyroidism? B12 & Serum Folate too low or OK? Other results all over the place! Any ideas?
Hi All, I have no idea what any of this means, but even I know some of it looks skewiffy! A couple of the results were flagged by the test itself; these are RDW and MCHC which may relate to thyroid function. Also the Serum Folate and B12 look a bit low so may be affecting my thyroid too. Are you able
