Finally blood results
So finally got my blood results as follow: Ferritin: 145 (expected as I take Ferrous sulphate every day for months) Folate: 15.3 VitB12: 444, which I understand is good from a UK perspective, but a bit on the low in other places. However; MCV: 93.9, so in range but on the high side MCH: 34.8 which was

Acute fever after having warm bath or shower
Hi everyone I'm feeling quite desperate as we all do from time to time for answers or people to understand us or just support. Lately I've noticed after a bath or shower I experience the onset of acute fever and my body temperature spikes to anywhere between 38.3c to 39.1c. I don't allow it to get higher

Recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and scared
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and have started on 50mg of levothyroxine. Originally went to the docs for anxiety and what I thought were panic attacks and so doctor prescribed anti depressants. Luckily they sent me to have blood tests and results came back that I had a low thyroid
