blood test accuracy
Hi All, I order blood tests through Medichecks and have a blood draw at the hospital but also intermittently get blood tests through the NHS. According to the NHS my vitamin levels have gone down considerably but according to Medichecks they’re fine! Which one should I trust?! Thanks 😊

Metabolic changes from prednisone
I have been on prednisone since July of 2021. Several failed attempts to taper but am presently at 3 mgs after changing diet dramatically. Had blood tests a month ago and cholesterol is one third higher than normal range. GP tells me that prednisone can cause metabolic changes by increasing blood

Blood tests to track MS progression
I have heard about a specific blood test, in US, that allows doctors to measure key biomarkers and evaluate a person's response to particular therapies targeting MS. This is the Octave MS Disease Activity (MSDA) blood test that analyzes levels of 18 key biomarkers that help doctors measure the level

update re post holiday symptoms.
further to my last post I increased to 17.5mg on Tuesday as I didn’t have any improvement in symptoms. I felt slightly better today and was able to do some food shopping without feeling ill afterwards. Had my GP telephone appointment tonight. She was not happy with my self medicating although I explained

Feeling poorly after eating
Hi everyone. I'm really struggling recently. My last flare up was absolutely awful to the point I thought I was dying (I know that seems dramatic)Everytime I ate 30 minutes later I would feel so poorly. It was like I had inflammation everywhere and had the worst pain in my calves, wrists, feet. Also

PSA spiked from .6 to 8.0 in 3 months
The blood test corroborates the MRI that shows spread. I am talking with Dr Goodman in the AM. Am I doomed? My PSA has never been 8. before

Bitter/sweet diagnosis, I feel 'seen' in some aspect, having had blood tests etc for years without any suggestion of a reason for feeling widespread pain & low mood/energy. So to get a possible reason, was weirdly somewhat of a validation
