Was the urine collected within 24 hours of intense exercise?

Have platelets ever been low in your blood work?
-
Thanks, this is the first time neutrophils has been low, usually average 3.5 but I’ll get that checked out!
Has iron and transferrin saturation been elevated in past blood work?
-
You should follow up with a doctor. Highly elevated transferrin saturation is suggestive of hereditary hemochromatosis. I assume you are of British ancestry? The neutropenia (i.e. low neutrophils) may have several underlying causes.
-
Could also be viral hepatitis. Don’t take meds (yes TUDCA is a medication) without telling your doctors. It may mask some symptoms, making it harder to make the correct diagnosis.
-
Do you seriously expect useful feedback while telling us nothing but the fact that your ggt is elevated?? Post complete bloodwork, report findings of ultrasound, share the conclusions of your doctor?!

I’m 28 my physio said I need to do some rehabilitation exercises to strengthen my knee tendons. He didn’t say anything about mobility but I’ll bring it up next time. The pain is in both knees in the same place (under the patella) from hammering the leg press a lot but now it’s painful on any sort of quad exercise
Sounds like garden-variety patellar tendonitis. For now, rest, ice, take some low-dose ibuprofen for a week. Then, start stretching your quads, do foam-rolling or get sports massages weekly. Do only very low-weight, high-rep rehab exercises for your legs, all of them should be pain free. Once you are pain-free, start slowly increasing the weight again. You can for example start with high rep body-weight squats with slow execution. All in all, recovery may take months. It sucks, but tendon overstrain takes a long time to resolve. Supplements mentioned above will help a little.

What does the physio say? How old are you? Where exactly in the knee is the pain? Is it the same spot and intensity on both sides? Any pain in other joints?
-
My crystal ball says you will get blood work.
-
I assume it is high? A couple of steps to take:
1) Avoid high-purine foods: i.e. Alcoholic beverages (all types). Some fish, seafood and shellfish, including anchovies, sardines, herring, mussels, codfish, scallops, trout and haddock. Some meats, such as bacon, turkey, veal, venison and organ meats like liver
2) Improve insulin sensitivity: Lower body fat, do more cardio.
3) Take supplemental VitC

Sounds a load of hassle. Plenty good other sources around
Very subtle…

The manufacturer’s official site has an URL that contains the words “basic” and “stero”. Anything you get from there is legit. Shipping is from an EU country, from EU to EU it takes about a week. There are pretty good fakes out there, so if you buy from a reseller, be sure to check the code. If the codes work it’s most likely legit.

Insulinoma ?
Not consistent with you high FBG. Most likely reactive hypoglycemia, or possibly adrenergic postprandial syndrome. To get properly diagnosed, you’d have to see a doctor. He will likely order additional blood work (HbA1c, thyroid function, fasting insulin and BG, etc.) and do specific glucose tolerance tests.
Steps to take until a diagnosis is obtained: 1) Eat only carbs with low glycemic index, 2) Make sure your meals contain a good mix of protein carbs AND FATS, 3) Ensure sufficient fiber intake, 4) Do more cardio, 5) Lower your body fat, 6) lower stress/anxiety.

ive come off now anyway not worth risk at all rarther have spots using sunbeds and melanotan now
So you decided to disregard the feedback from the other thread you made and instead went for the “remedy” that absolutely no one suggested? Good job.

Wouldn’t have any objections, blood work looks good. Unless I overlooked something due to the atrocious format.
