Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
Hello all. My apologies for the title of this post, but I didn’t know how to phrase it. I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on Prednisone ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt

Since December 23 , he lowered my thyroxine dose which was then 125 /150 alternate days but I was having most of the typical hypo symptoms

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

Iron study results help please
HiI had a ferritin test in November and posted my results here and got some help. My result then was low at 10.2ug/l I have since persuaded the doctor to do further tests for iron. Unfortunately she did not repeat ferritin but did an iron study results as follows Serum iron level 19 umol/L [9.0 - 30.4

anyone with AIT and Lichen Sclerosis?
hi there, does anyone on this wonderful forum also have Lichen Sclerosis? My Mum (85) is really suffering, she has followed all guidelines for 20+ years, had biopsies, used steroids as directed and special non soap washes. She isn’t diagnosed with AIT, but I inherited it from somewhere and she had

Serum Ferritin levels
I had a blood test last week and my serum ferritin level is 24 ug/L. It says the normal range is 10 to 291. As I have restless legs is this level ok or should I be taking iron tablets? It doesn’t mention my transferrin saturation numbers. Maybe if I call in at the doctors I could ask if they have

Update re: Total Confusion about Ferritin (Medichecks) Results!
As promised to Seaside Susie, and 6 months later, please see below response I've had from Medichecks. I'm just sad it didn't come in time for Seaside Susie to see that they had eventually listened to us! It is an improvement on the previous reference range for over 60yrs females but it raises more questions

vitamin deficiencies
I had most of my sigmoid removed because of diverticulitis five years ago. My question is my surgeon said that it should not affect my vitamin or mineral intake because the sigmoid doesn’t involve that. Got on finding that it most certainly does I get a B12 injection because I’m a vegetarian so that

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can
