Worrisome DEXA results
I had 3 doctors tell me not to worry about a 12% decrease in my spine since the DEXA scans are not accurate when bone mass is very low. In addition in my case my spine has twisted and is not in the same position as in the last DEXA. On top of that the X-ray technician mislabeled the scan. For example

blood tests
haven’t posted in a while. Coping on 2 mg a day for a few years. I haven’t had a blood test since before covid. I have requested from time to time but been refused - I guess if I’m feeling ok then don’t worry. Is this usual when on long term steroids? As I get my pension this year I’m sure the general

Acute Angle Glaucoma and statins
Hi everyone!I was shocked today to find out that my 6 monthly blood test coverning liver function(I've been taking 3g of vitb3 for a year now and regular liver tests are recommended?) cholesterol etc, results showed an increase in my LDL from 5.5 to 6.1 in the last 6 months! I have monitored my sat fat

hyperthyroidism
Hi I had blood tests 3 weeks ago which show an overactive thyroid. I started carbimazole 30mg daily and propranolol 20mg daily. I am due to be having surgery in 2 weeks to remove the right side of my thyroid. However, today I have been informed my FT4 has jumped to 28.2 and TSH is undetectable. Carbimazole

Help with blood test results please
Hi All I've recently had 2 blood tests - one was a private finger prick test through monitormyhealth.com. The reason I took the tests was because I've not felt 'right' for quite some months. Insomnia (but then falling asleep at my desk during the day), constant aches and pains, headaches, unable

How's Remission?
Hi friends, it's been awhile since I've posted here. I've been in remission for 3 and a half years. First treatment was Ibrutinib for one year then Obintuzimab and Veneteclax for 2 years. Just to give you an idea of what my treatment was. So my question is, if you too have been in remission, besides

Blood tests whilst pregnant
This is a question after reading posts+research. I understand there is a Def link between underactive thyroid/Hashimotos kicking off whilst pregnant+a link between Hashimotos+pre-eclampsia. Speaking from experience many years ago, for me this seems clear. So, just as mother's are checked re diabetes

Loss of weight and appetite
Hi All, as you know I have now been on buprenorphine tablets (low dose) for 10 months with HUGE success.I have recently flown 11 hours from Heathrow to Arizona with NO RLS. My legs did go crazy for my first few days in the US until I worked out the time difference. My question is has anyone lost weight

Time to heal
It is now 9 months since I started LT4 being titrated up and last weeks blood test show I have finally hit optimal levels. My GP has agreed to test again in 3 months to check I remain stable (on 125mcg.) Now, I am sure that because of various symptoms etc; my thyroid had struggled for at least 20 years

Advice on latest blood tests
Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on bloods following my latest tests. Just wondered if it's worth increasing the T4 as it's a bit lower since putting on a little bit of weight. I'm happy with my Vit D, B12, Folate and Iron and hence have not included those results. Thanks in advance

Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Next steps advice, B12D
After completing all relevant blood tests (everything fine apart from low iron and 165 ng/L) I have completed my 6 loading doses 2 weeks ago and generally do feel some improvements, especially on the faster heart rate, that has subsided significantly. Since 2003 this has been my 3rd loading dose program
