Fatty Liver disease and Triglyceride levels
There's also a particular type of cholesterol associated with the liver called
VLDL
: Is this a
test
that an NHS GP can do or is it a specialist test?

Following LeoPa's “On CLL, diet and possible connections.”
I am also curious about the preferred energy source of CLL cells. Particularly the cholesterol role. If the CLL cells use cholesterol do they use whatever is present, or is there a signaling going on telling/initiating production—that causes cholesterol to rise? Below are a few articles I found on

VLDL results - confusing
I read somewhere that a
VLDL
test
was more worthwhile so went for that. The result is just one number (<5mg/dL). Apparently, anything below 30mg/dL is good. It’s clearly a different system and units from the HDL and LDL tests.

Post Colonoscopy Result - what could it be?
Hi all, I posted previously about stomach issues I was experiencing. What I could only describe as flare ups - stomach pain, inflamed feeling and sometimes vomiting. Had a stool test done and the calprotectin levels were 500+ I had my colonoscopy today and was so sure they’d say that I had very obvious

My dose now is 2 grains ndt am with 10mcg T3 pm 1 grain. So far good but I am experiencing a head pulse and so not sure I should

I stay up as long as I can and about an hr before bedtime take 1mg Noctamid n sleep right thru. I don't want to become dependent

Dad’s NGS ( genetic) reports
Had posted this earlier but am reposting. These is the summary from dad’s genetic testing report. The detailed numbers report is attached in the reply section below As of now he is on hormone therapy. Does the report indicate more options for him in the future Thanks 😊

Low Ferritin
In May of this year my Ferritin level was 11 (range 15-200) and I was given Ferrous Fumarate and told to have bloods done again in a few months. My recent results were 19. I know Ferritin levels are notoriously slow to rise but I was surprised at the very slow progress....Does this seem right?

Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism: an Analysis of Eleven Randomized Controlled Trials
I have only read this abstract - once, and very quickly - hence no real comments. But patients preferring combination treatment is hardly a surprise. We'd probably prefer our own nicely working thyroid - which would be producing T4 and T3. Wouldn't it? [i]Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism

Blood sugar levels
I've read that Prednisolone can spike blood sugar levels. I have a strong family history of late onset type 2 diabetes through the generations. I have ordered a blood glucose monitor, I thought it might be a good idea, like I monitor my blood pressure too.

am I pregnant? Is it my period starting?? Or is it implantation bleeding?
Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex a bunch of times and usually we are fine. We did it recently. I just got on birth control I think for almost 3 weeks I’ve been on it? And suddenly my discharge has started to change it was a bit of a yellowish color at first so I thought maybe it was an infection

Severe RLS Augmentation on Pramipexole
I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles. When officially diagnosed in my 20’s, I was prescribed clonazepam which helped for a few years. I then was referred to a neurologist and
