Second opinion for my daughter (ruling out thyroid, opinion on vitamins)
17 year old daughter has complained of headaches and fatigue for years. Chalked it up to teenager, pandemic, and irregular sleeping patterns. As all those things resolved, and the headaches and fatigue didn't, I ordered bloodwork to rule out Hashis and Hypo; and hopefully pinpoint a treatment to get

Hello. I posted on here last week looking some advice on my latest blood tests.

Monitor My Health iron test - lack of ranges
I spent a bit more money on my MMH test this year as I’ve never had an iron panel done but have always had low iron indicators on a full blood test. I didn’t get complete results as ferritin failed (posting the kit back took 48 hours when it was tracked to take 24) but the results I did get, I can’

Worried and confused
New dexa scan (10/10/23) reveals some "good" news and other not so good news. Left femoral neck is -2.6, right femoral neck is -2.6, Lumbar spine from L2 thru L4 T score is -3.2. Compared with 2021, there is a 4% decrease in density in lumbar spine, 5% INCREASE density in left hip, 3% INCREASE density

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Calcium, vitamin D and protein
Hello, I am just posting this for information. I follow a couple of forums on osteoporosis as I have osteoporosis and want to keep as informed as possible. Recently someone posted about an article on the benefit of taking extra protein alongside calcium and vitamin D supplements. I am going to check

Update following GP appointment re DEXA scan
Just back from seeing the GP who isn’t the one who sent the text. He says he’ll have to consult someone as the result of the scan and advice are “a bit confusing” He printed the DEXA report off for me but I can’t make head nor tail of it so am attaching it to this message in the hope that someone can

GP disagrees with diagnosis of osteoporosis
I had a Dexa scan 2 weeks ago and the lady who did the scan told me I had osteoporosis and gave me a leaflet about it and an information sheet about Alendronic acid. She said GP would contact me when he got the results to start me on AA. Last week I got a text from GP saying “your bone thickness is

Yet another mess...
I am coming to the end of my B12 pills and being on the lower pension and every penny counts, wondered if I needed to reorder. So I phoned the surgery to request a blood test, and was told the GP would phone me back. So far, so good. A GP phoned, introduced herself as the new GP at the surgery. I

Lupus re-diagnosis UCTD
Hello All, so when I last posted I had been to the rheumatologist Prof X and told my bloods were not suggestive of lupus but he did not suggest want condition could be the underlying cause of my symptoms. This morning he chose not to see me, instead I saw a very nice female doctor in clinical research

So frustrated
I'm happy on 20 mcg lio and 50 mcg levo - but each year it's a battle to get the blood tests done.

Four years ago, the GP did the
