Retested: low D & B12, high ferritin
I have retested with medicheck because I'm in the queue to see a private endocrinologist about my symptoms. I was hoping that treating my vitamins and minerals may give a different thyroid hormone picture. Iron 239ug/L (range 30-150) I am under haematology, treated for iron deficiency anaemia. Tested

The most prominent example was 4 years ago I was running a 3 mile race and a girl who I didn’t know was overtaking me and as she went past said ‘are you ok, do you have

Covid or chest infection?
I started with covid at the weekend. The last few days I've had a chesty cough, and today it's producing thick yellow mucus.My peak flow is low, I have on and off tightness, especially after coughing & SoB. Before covid, my asthma hadn't be that controlled, but I hadn't got so far as seeing the GP.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February and prescribed Levothyroxine 50mg per day. My February blood tests resulted in a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Disease and an increase to 100mg per day. My GP told me that my latest test results (18.04.23) show that my thyroid is normal and I'm negative for

Diet and Exercise Regimen, Vitamins, while taking Orgovyx
While taking this medication for 4 to 6 months, should I be on a certain type of
diet
, e.g., high
protein
or
low
carbs? I naturally have a high metabolism. I am thin, I've never had a weight problem.

Potential underactive thyroid
hi, I’ve had to go private for fertility investigations after loss and have had some more intensive thyroid testing done after the NHS advised no concerns. I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance based on my results as I’m quite lost with what to do/where to go next. TSH levels Oct 2019:

Maca Root Supplement
I finished Proton Therapy for Gleason 9 Prostate cancer on December 2, 2022. This included six months of androgen deprivation therapy that ended December 15, 2022. Is there any danger to my prostate if I begin taking Maca Root supplement?

Gallstones Newbie here seeking menu ideas 😁
My GP diagnosed gallstones 4 weeks ago after I suffered an attack and referred me for a scan at my local hospital for confirmation. She told me to go to A&E if the attacks get unbearable. I am yet to heard from the hospital with a date for the scan. I'm getting 3 or 4 attacks a week. Shoulder blade

Exhausted
I’ve had a particularly rough time recently with asthma attacks. I’ve currently got no infections, and my peak flow and vitals are fine the last few days, but I feel absolutely exhausted from an asthma attack last week. It’s to the point where I have to lie down after even going down the stairs. How

Provisional diagnosis...does it sound like allergic asthma?
Is daily, chronic phlegm a feature that many people here experience with asthma? I have a provisional asthma diagnosis from GP, and have been on the lowest dose of reliever and preventer inhalers for three months. I am also taking an antihistamine (allergic to pet dander- I have two pets and have done

Quick update on bloods - happy with analysis but posting for interest/comparison - also CRP info?
I did manage to get the bloods done and thought it worth a quick before and after. I'm mostly happy now with how to analyse but don't know if anyone is interested in efficacy of different approaches. I've mostly followed advice I was given here, except that I could no longer get Thorn basic b's so

Asthma Flare-up
My asthma has been flaring up over the last week with the usual symptoms of coughing, feeling tight-chested and breathless, so I started my rescue pack of steroids. I saw the nurse at my GP practice on Wednesday, who was less than helpful, she basically told me that because my chest was clear, they wouldn't
