Yes - all I did was have all symptoms written down along with questions and we spent some time going through them and previous bloods tests. It’s the only way to get him to really look at what’s going on. I hate being off work so I have to be active in getting well. X
I listed all symptoms then asked which ones matched to previous blood results and what stood out as abnormal then asked what the treatment plan would be. In order to know the treatment plan trying to find the cause as well as treating symptoms is important. X
See your GP and ask about the Bicarbonate result as that is HIGH, above range (as Clutter already mentioned).
Could you be a little dehydrated? Have you had any recent diarrhoea or vomitting? Or - with feeling so unwell recently, have you not been eating properly?
Ask GP if this high result needs further investigation or advice?
Also I notice your sodium is at bottom of the range. This could be because you are not eating enough, or not get getting enough salt in your food? We switched to Fine Sea Salt and add to desired taste - after my husband collapsed due to low sodium.
There is so much said about salt being 'bad' for us. As far as I am aware you only need to be careful if you have high blood pressure. Otherwise - your taste tells you what's needed.
Also:
Have you ever had any test to check your Adrenal Function? Would it be worthwhile asking GP about this?
Funnily enough I have ate almost triple the amount of salt on my meals that a normal person would have I use pink himilayan salt, I was constantly getting told off about it by everyone, but my food didn't taste salty at all and about a year ago I paid for cortisol saliva test and it was high, I feel much better now I think it's lowered but I didn't pay for retest but yet I'm still eating lots of salt, the only time I didn't crave it was when I got my boost dose of d3 off doc??
Right I didn't find much info on it, I was taking vit d3 and its didn't even cross my mind there was no salt on my food I just ate it and thought that was a bit weird, I won't eat anything unless it's loaded with extra salt, lol
Your B12 is very low, Mrs, although that range is wider than I usually see. It really should be higher in range and of course your tsh should be lower. That could affect your period and cause heavy bleeding. I didn't see a D3 which definitely has to be addressed so it's winter and you might as well assume you are low. It protects against infections and even cancer. Ferritin actually looks high, do you have any idea? If it is, it could represent inflammation.
Thanks both Heloise and Mary-intusseception I seem to be struggling with ferritin (that’s dropped by 117ng since previous test whereas haemoglobin has risen to an all time high of 13.9 and RCDW had also increased to 19.8%
I’m taking B12 supplements as well as loading doses for Vit D with cofactors and Betertain with HCL.
I’ll try and ask about bicarbonate and sodium too. I don’t have much of an appetite especially having difficulties swallowing but have forced myself to drink and eat.
My results at the bottom, on another post don't want to re-write
My folate and D3 low and sodium only just in range even though I smother my food in himilayan salt, doc only did my Tsh said it was in range so didn't need to do T3 or T4 but he failed to see that I'm on thyroid s and all need to me checked
