How long can Asthma flares last?
Hi I’m in to my 5th week now with a tight chest and struggling to breathe. A&E couldn’t find anything untoward and GP could only offer stronger antihistamines and Montelukast which I have reluctantly started a few days ago. The worrying thing is that my peak flow isn’t too bad but I still have the tightness

Help with blood test results and symptoms please
Hi, I have hashimotos, and had a hemithyroidectomy just before Xmas. Before the operation I had been described as sub-clinical hypothyroid, with a TSH of around 2. Since the operation I been suffering from pins and needles and a feeling of slight breathlessness, which mostly comes on in the evening

Thyroid scan advice and recommendations please
Good Afternoon everyone 😊 Thyroid UK recommends London Private Ultrasound Clinic. Please could anyone who has used them private message me with your experiences, good or bad, or anything I should be aware of beforehand? I'm thinking of having a scan with them as I will be in London for another reason

Chronic pain , degenerative spinal disease
I am at the end of my tether with chronic pain and more recently, peripheral neuropathy. Every 8 weeks I have a B12 injection for management of Pernicious Anaemia diagnosed in 1985. However, the pains shooting into my toes and burning sensation around week 6, drives me crazy. The GP is nice but does

The results are in, over to the judges.
I am a 59 year old, 74Kg male, with no other comorbidities except mild lifelong well controlled Asthma. The tests on 10/01/2024 where all taken using the guidance given here, of no levy for 24 hours prior and no food/drink ETC before the test. The previous tests may not have been in full compliance

Sense of smell affected?
Just wondering if my fluctuating sense of taste and smell is related to untreated hypothyroidism. I'm bumping along the very bottom of the T4 range on every blood test and have had an abnormal thyroid ultrasound scan. I can go weeks and months with a very poor sense of smell (and taste). On occasions

Indigestion
I have a dull ache down my breastbone which comes and goes. Although I have a mild heart murmur it has been diagnosed as gastric related and I’ve been given Lansoprazole to try. I’m concerned as one of the side effects is osteoporosis of the hip - I already have osteopenia. Is this type of issue linked

New blood test results
Hi all, Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite me reducing my levo and introducing T3. TSH 0.007

IGE Blood test results in severe asthma?
Does anyone know if it’s ok to have normal full count IGE levels in severe asthma? Do they shoot up in exacerbations? What tests you need to prove severe asthma in tertiary centres?I believe Synacthen is one of them to check steroid resistance is there any other specific to check once having exacerbation

Low Iron
Hi everyone, Wondered if anyone has had experience with SVT and low iron? I’ve just found out that I have extremely low iron stores which explains a lot of my symptoms, including a fast heart rate and wondering whether anyone knows whether it could cause atrial tachycardia? I am really hoping once
