High blood pressure
As well as Tzc, I am taking 5mg pred, 10mg amitryptiline, naproxen, lanzoprazole, risendronate sodium, calcium and vit D. Could any of these be the culprit for high blood pressure rather than Tocilizumab injections?

Saw Dr Klein at the Cambridge blood clinic.
So I finally saw Dr Klein, He says 100% I have pernicious anaemia and it’s quite bad. I have to inject ever other day for a year. Apparently my folate and ferritin is good. My vitamin D is also a tad low. My bladder issue could be to do with the Anaemia. Likewise it could be reversing out. He seemed

osteopenia
I’m currently on 2.5. First diagnosed 2018. My dexa scan shows osteopenia, I guess it was inevitable. I am going gym regularly now and can manage an hour Pilates. Anyone got any diet tips, am taking vit D.

Vit D
Last weeks test 177 range 50-150 said to be abnormal. I remember some posts about newer thoughts on higher levels being better. Is this too high?

Very rapid weight gain, dose increase
Hi all, I first posted a few weeks ago as a new GP prescribed T3 but didn't tell me to start low and slow so I just started with 20mg of Thybon for 2 weeks and felt horrendous (so exhausted). TiggerMe suggested that my T4 wasn't optimal (neither was Vit D, Folate, Ferritin) so I stopped the T3 and

Test results - can anyone help?
Hi all, Can anyone help interpret my test results and advise on whether I need to work on any of my vitamin levels. Would also be grateful for any advise on thyroid meds so I know what to push for at endo appointment. Results from March (on no medication): Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 1.930 mIU

Blood test help - trial T3 or get vitamins up first?
Please bear with the first part of this it is relevant: In late 2021 I was in a job which had become very stressful and was suffering some odd symptoms – in particular I tended to spike a fever for 12-24 hours with no obvious illness, low resting heart rate, very dry skin, extreme tiredness.

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Big Ferritin Drop in a Year (over 50%)
Not a thyroid question, but a ferritin question if anyone is able to advise? Apologies in advance that this is long, just trying to set the scene. Brief background - I have Hashimoto's and after many years am on T3 monotherapy. I am vegetarian, and take various supplements as recommended on here, and

Advice please- should I increase T3 a little now, as advised by prescriber or do bloods first?
Looking for some advice. I’m a few weeks into an increase of levo, back up to 100mcg from 75mcg. I was advised by my prescriber to do this and then to increase my T3 v slowly to get to 20mcg from my current 10mcg. I take both meds together overnight and don’t split my T3. The increase in levo has made

Update on Labs - What is Going On? :-)
Labs done ~7AM - 24 hours after T4 and 12 hours after T3, having stopped biotin 4 days prior. My endo has been good about letting me have needed T3 after being deficient for over a decade with other doctors. I am not sure what to make of the labs since she upped my T3 back in December. I started dosage

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness? I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and often wake up with brain fog. I often wake up during the night to pee. I often feel the need to fall asleep in the afternoon
