Lab Cut Backs (blood testing)!
I've read on here numerous times about people being refused T3 tests because "we're not allowed to test that any more" etc etc. Clearly appalling when trying to get a full picture of what's going on with your thyroid. I've just spoken to the GP about some other blood tests I'm having done tomorrow (

Just like to put my latest results here, I’ve been totally worn out lately and I have an appointment tomorrow with my Gp, my fatigue is now off the scale, all I want to do is sleep. I’m really struggling with my Ferritin levels even though I take an Iron supplement and I eat well, I would be really

Advice re first blood tests after adding in T3
How long should I wait before taking my first blood test after adding in T3 and reducing thyroxine? What timings should I follow re taking my meds? I'm currently 5/6 weeks in of adding 5mcg of Roma T3 in hard capsule, which I take at 7am. I take my thyroxine at 11pm. I was taking 6 x125/1x100. Endo

Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Post Menopausal Dizziness & Anxiety
I'm 67. I went through menopause at 50 using herbal supplements-not too many problems with hot sweats but noticed an increase in anxiety but managed a stressful job . Fast forward to now, I feel light headed and off balance nearly all the time-pollen season is worse due to histamine so I have to watch

Blood test units different
For years my thyroid blood test results have used the same units so, Free T4 pmol/L range 12 - 22 Free T3 pmol/L range 3.1 - 6.8 I have just received results with different units, so they won't fit into my spreadsheet. Free T4 ng/dL range 0.93 - 1.71 Free

To Trial or not to Trial?
I have decided not to trial. Going to just do the Venetaclax & Obin protocol. I’m just not in the mood for the extra appointments and brain damage that invariably comes with them. I’m waiting for a start date. Had the bone marrow biopsy and endless other tests this week - decided not to peek at the

Would I be on thin ice if I tried adaptive ADT this soon?
After 6 weeks on Lupron and 9 days on abiraterone, my PSA was .1, and my testosterone was <1. This is within the criteria being used to start people on adaptive in this MCSPC Moffitt study with Jingsong Yang - (he says I can just follow the protocol without being in the study)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Interesting article about the effects of Covid19 on your blood
Having caught Covid19 a short time after my allo SCT and with my anaemia ongoing, I was interested to see this article. This is not CLL specific but worth a read. "[i]Several studies have reported, in COVID-19 patients, hematological abnormalities. Most of these alterations are associated with a higher

Pluvicto Update: Second Treatment Coming up
Will be getting my second treatment on Tuesday. Unfortunately, my PSA has not dropped a whole lot. It went from 248 to 222. My Alk Phos shot up from the mid 300s to almost 600 now. Hoping things improve after the next infusion. Hope it's just dying cancer cells affecting the PSA. I still feel better

Natural remedies. Essential oils.
Have any of you used essential oils to help with PBC. I have been researching the use of oils to help detox and dilate the ducts to help with releasing the bile. I want to take info to my Dr for discussion. Medication side effects have been so severe that I only take milk thistle. My ALT and AST are

T4/T3 Combi Overmedicated Help Please
I posted yesterday about my recent feelings of overmedication but didnt get many replies. Its just symptoms, not blood tests, but had palpitations, fatigue, fast heart beat, shortness of breath. Was on 150mcg Levo and 12.5 T3 daily. Also added daily selenium which might have complicated things. Cut

Early morning blood tests
I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have
