Colonoscopy prep and low weight - anyone?
Hello folks, So I’m going to be having a colonoscopy at some point soon (still on waiting list) because of an enlarged liver, high calprotectin and IBD symptoms. I am extremely underweight at 43kg (I’m 5’4”) and extremely nervous about doing the prep for the procedure. My consultant muttered something

Blood test results
please can I have your advice on my blood test results. I take 75 mcg thyroxine for 4 days a week and 100 for 3 days. Have been on it since July 2023. I am not sure whether I am on the correct dosage as I have now started suffering from palpitations and high blood pressure. I would be grateful for any

Symptoms fluctuating
I am positive for Trab, TPO and Tg antibodies. I had Graves, was treated with carbi (didn't need high doses), went into remission and stopped carbi as per endo advice about 7 months ago (after 14 months of treatment), was ok for a few months and now, instead of suffering a hyper relapse as I thought

Ruxolitinib & raised cholesterol
I have been on Ruxolitinib for nearly 9 years now managing my primary myelofibrosis. I have been advised today that I now have a very high cholesterol level of 9.4. We went through my family history and diet but it seems that Rux seems to be the main contributory factor. The sheet does say this is

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

child with dyslexia
My daughter has recently been diagnosed with dyslexic tendencies. She is almost 7yrs old in year 2 of primary school. I had her B12 tested last year due to recurrent mouth ulcers. I’m just concerned that while displaying the characteristics of dyslexia in reading & writing etc she does not experience

Accord batch problems
I take 50 mcg of Accord (75/100 dose). I have not been well for a good while and I am not sure if this brand is always optimal. I have had feelings of being quite well and that I have absorbed the hormone, but I query the batches and expiry dates and if this brand or tablet (50 mcg) is substandard.

CARDIAC COUGH
I have had a cough since going into heart failure. It is getting worse all the time. I knew it was to do with my heart but my g.p. sent me for a chest x-ray which is clear and l did a sputum test which showed no infection. I have been trying to get referred to the cardiologist which my g.p. seems

Advice please
Hello, hypothyroid here, currently taking 225mg levothyroxine daily. Visited the Dr (NHS) last week for a few ongoing issues, including a lump in my neck (just right of neck centre) and was seen primarily by a student Dr who’s findings were then discussed/assessed with GP. Very convinced it’s a goitre
