Endometriosis?
Hi everyone My journey is quite a lengthy one so I’ll attempt to shorten it by containing the most important info… when I was a teenager I had awfully painful, extremely heavy periods at times they would bring me to tears, this improved after having children but was still far from “normal” whatever

Advice re recovery - please!
He is very breathless still but had a

Any recent experiences of AIHA developing in progressive CLL - particularly in those treated with or awaiting Venetoclax treatment?
Cross matched and
Blood
transfusion
booked. Further tests showed (unsurprisingly I guess) that I was haemolyzing.
Blood
transfusion
cancelled. Venetoclax ramp up put on hold. High dose corticosteroid, folic acid anticoagulants prescribed. Back next week to assess blood changes.

Low Haemoglobin- at what level might a transfusion be necessary- any thoughts?
Blood Tests show my haemoglobin to be 89-- does anyone know if it is likely they might want to give me a
blood
transfusion
? I just want to be prepared if that might be the case.... Any thought gratefully received. Thanks all Taar

Fatigue and me.
After a year of proper supplementation I became all but pain free and and only had slight numbness in my toes. I turned my focus to fatigue. This is the understanding and solution that I came up with. Acknowledging it may just be the supplementation taking effect. I surmised that I had become very

Saline Solution Drip
I know it is unlikely. Can I get a saline solution transfusion in the UK with out a prescription? I can get one in some states in the USA. In Ecuador you can have a RPN come to your house and administer a saline solution once a month for $20.00 Note: As far as I know this may be the end of my rash

Is this subclinical hyperthyroidism?
I recently had a blood test which showed that my TSH was 0.27mU/L (0.35.5.5) and T4 was 11.3pmol (10-20). I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor, but does this show that there's potentially an issue with my thyroid? This is all new to me so I would appreciate some help, thank you.

Hypocellular bone marrow. Can anyone tell me more?
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency ("low serum B12") over 15 years ago when debilitating exhaustion was putting my job at risk.

Should I stop Ferrous Fumarate before Blood Test?
Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in ferritin levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine blood test for thyroid levels and ferritin / iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much

Medicheck results – help please

Macrocytic Anemia?
Hi, I am posting here for my Mom. She had blood work every year with perfect results until last year in September when the Hemoglobin/RBC/Hemocrit started dropping. She never had anemia before. In March of this year MCV and MCH started going up and be higher then normal. I took her to a hematologist

Low Red Blood Cell count and GFR kidney count blamed on PMR. Is this true?
I have just had some blood test results. There are several results which need looking at but someone has added "Normal for this patient". When I have asked before PMR or Pred have been blamed. I took your advice once over breathlessness for example and the GP did further tests. Now the Red Blood
