Puffy eyes
Hello everyone, I just joined this site. I have been diagnosed with overactive thyroid on the 11.01.21 since then I'm talking daily 20mg carbimazole. On the 11.02.21 will be exactly 1 month since I've started to use carbimazole. I dont have side affect, but my eyes are so puffy! This horror appeared

Pregabalin
I just read an article in "Nightwalker" RLS Publication by Dr. Winkleman and he spoke about symptoms from being on pregabalin......weight gain, fluid retention, cognitive fuzziness and maybe mood disorder. I'm on 300mg and 2mg ropinirole. I'm having these symptoms and for too long now still experiencing

How do I interpret my Iron test results?
I just want to go back to basics and figure out for myself what the results of my blood tests mean? Can my good friends help? It's all Greek to me. Here we go: Serum iron level: 13 umol/L [5.0 - 33.0] . Serum transferrin level: 2.61 g/L [1.9 - 3.75]. Serum TIBC 59 umol/L [36.0 - 77.0]. Saturation

WHO authorizes AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine for emergency use.
The World Health Organization has granted an emergency authorization to AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine, a move that should allow the U.N. agency's partners to ship millions of doses to countries as part of a U.N.-backed program to tame the pandemic. In a statement Monday, the WHO said it was clearing

Best B12IM for self injection?
I’m relatively new here although I recognise that I had non-dietary B12 deficiency symptoms for years. Finally had pathology confirm IF and parietal cell ABs. Had loading dose series of B12 IM injections which were fantastic. Have been taking sublingual B12 between extended shots now, but think I’ll

Liver kidneys, iron ferritin serum transferrin and hair loss
Can anyone help me understand my blood tests. A private dermatologist recently took some bloods after prescribing finasteride. I took the drug four months and discontinued as it shrunk my hair follicles. My scalp now looks dramatically worse, thanks to this drug. It didn't increase hair loss but didn't

High blood levels of B12
Hi everyone, Not new here but just a little background - I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency back in 2014, I managed to produce enough evidence to satisfy my GP that I could not manage on 2 - 3 monthly injections and so I am able (currently) to access enough B12 for my needs, but this could soon change

Does B12 deficiency deplete iron levels?
Hi everyone ! I’m a bit stumped regarding my newest iron panel results (below). First of all, I’ve been supplementing with 60 mg every other day and having an iron rich diet with vitamin C. Even so, my levels have been dropping quite dramatically: 09/29/2020 Total Iron 92 ug/dL (50-212) Iron Binding

Raised Liver Enzymes
Hi, im hoping that someone can give me some advice? Following a routine blood test I was informed that my liver enzymes are raised to 50 & advised to stop taking methotrexate for 2 weeks and repeat the blood test. I’m not sure if it’s connected but I’ve got a dull ache in my lower back right hand side

Thalassemia beta trait and elevated platelets
I was referred to a haematologist last year as the blood test results from my annual health screen came back with some abnormal results. I have thalassemia trait so my blood results are never normal but my GP noted that my platelets were elevated at 489. I looked back at some older blood tests and

B12 Face symptoms?
Hello, I've been doing some research and it seems like my symptoms tend to be a more rare result of B12 deficiency and was wondering if anyone else has experienced these. I have had the common symptoms of pins and needles and burning in my hands and feet, however, these occur less frequently. My face
