Medichecks results, please advise
Hi Everyone, posting my 1st ever private blood tests. Please can anyone comment, I'm quite new to this. The results came with a Dr's overview, so I'll be taking Vit D supplements but the other results appeared 'normal'. What do you think? And do the autoimmunity antibodies indicate Hashimoto's or am

Vitamin B1
I read that if you have RLS you might be short of vitamin B1. Has anyone knowledge of this.

How do I defeat extreme tiredness?
Waking up tired and most days feeling exhausted. My brilliant haematologist checked bloods and has given me an infusion of iron plus daily folic acid. But still tired. Is this a symptom of CLL and/or Avalabrutinib?

Vitamin K2
Trying to find best vitamin K2 supplement. I can’t take calcium but lots of dairy and take D3 on its own daily. I take methotrexate, steroids and other meds so I don’t want the strongest K2 but one I can absorb without a problem. I have been on risedronate for two years but dexa scan had not improved

I’ve been trying to get stable on t3/4 combination, still a way to go as last results after increasing to 10 mcg liothyronine in 2 doses were the worst yet, t3 and t4 both at bottom of range, vitamin D draining away again despite supplements.

Needles for B12 self injection
Hi I used to purchase my B12 and syringes & needles from Rotexmedica which I believe no longer exist. I have now found another company in Germany to order B12 from but they do not supply the needles. Does anybody have a good supplier in Europe? I can't order from the UK as I now in France and there

B12 supplementation query
My active B12 level in 2022 was 66.1 pmol/L and following advice on our wonderful forum I began taking Thorne basic B complex. This raised my levels to 78.6 pmol/L in 2023. This year my B12 level is 76.3 pmol/L. So it hasn't continued to increase to the recommended 100 pmol/L. For the past ten days

Vital Role of B12 and Folate
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0193953X12001001?via%3Dihub This article focuses on the role of b12 and folate in the synthesis of methionine and one of the side effects of improper synthesis is depression and cognitive impairment. However, I want to emphasise that poor synthesis

CBC test anemia: high MCV, MCH, low RBC and leukocytes?
Writing for my partner, who is exhausted and down after 5 months ADT and 28x radiation. Returning home he went for CBC, and it came back high MCV MCH, low RBC and leukocytes. His primary w/0 knowledge of cancer tx says nothing. I'm not content with this, I hate to see my partner so tired and unenthused

Folate when SI?
Hi everyone, How much folate is recommended when injecting B12? The folate tablets I have are 400µg. Also, can anyone kindly comment on my sudden lip problems? I awoke 4 mornings ago to blistered lips, they were slightly worse the next morning. The blistering seems to have stopped but my lips are

is this a sign my meds are struggling or just how it is now?
Sorry for the long message but would appreciate knowing if this is typical or if I am being a little dramatic and unrealistic. diagnosed with RA nearly 2 years ago. Took a while but pretty much back to normal after moving to injecting 20mg MTX, 200g hydroxy and folic acid 6 days a week. Took just over

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

Getting myself in a hell of a muddle!
I have been on levothyroxine for 10+ years and never had a problem (well not since the early years) - I have been getting along nicely on a dose of 75 for the last few years. I was at the GP's a few weeks ago about something not related to my thyroid and happened to mention in the conversation that

Early signs of PA
I've been giving some thought to how long I've had PA. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. BUT, when i look back at old photos of myself, my skin colour changed to be quite yellowy (my mum says my dad and his mum both had the yellowy skin tone). This yellowy colour has faded out and I'm much more "white
