    @Bernadette_Abraham  However, there was something a bit confusing. Although they said the hemochromatosis test result was negative, there was one more test had come positive. I have attached here the  MTHFR C677T test results. The doc had mentioned this was  for blood clotting tho.  We were a bit confused at the time to be honest. Would you mind clarifying this for us??

    and
    I actually forgot to mention that I am also due for my yearly mammogram check up since I am over 40. I haven’t had a chance to explore the other options over the years like thermography along with Dutch test I think recommended. What is your view on this alternative route which is less invasive; and if so, is it available in dubai? Thanks again

    thanks a lot Bernadette. Whilst we are on the topic, I was actually going to ask if we can have a ‘save’ function in the forum? It would be really helpful to save some of the discussions for our future reference

    Thanks for the fast response Bernadette. I am still trying to learn how to navigate within the B Better database, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The link is very helpful; I would probably ask the doctor to run tests from a few different sections of this list. I will share the results for your interpretation when available. 
    Wishing you a lovely week ahead

    Such a relief that my precious pressure cooker is still a thumbs up
    Ok noted. I will look for a steel container for the instant pot. Thanks so much Bernedette

    thanks for the great topic. If you don’t mind, I will jump in here and ask a question to
    too. I have recently bought an instant pot mainly for the pressure cooker function which also came with air fryer option. It is unfortunately not steel container for the air fryer but I am planning to use parchment paper for
    that. Will this be sufficient? Or shall I look for steel containers compatible with instant pot?

    But re your notes for ‘the longer cooking times at lower temp”; this is the complete opposite of what pressure cookers do. I had read in so many reports before that pressure cookers are actually quite a healthy way cooking as the cooking time is short so nutritions are preserved. And I am a huge fan of them due to their practicality as well.
    that would be great if you can share your view on pressure cookers as well? Thanks

     It feels like survival every day against the big pharma! Ok fair enough, I will make my appointment and see what Dr.Suaad has to say. Thanks so much again Bernadette. I will keep you guys posted.

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience and the information about the prolotheraphy. It would have been a lot harder to access these alternative medicine options without your and Daniel’s help.

    I believe it is worth having a consultation with Dr. Suaad soon. But when do you think it is the best time for me to consider prolotheraphy ? Shall I continue the physio a bit more and see how it progresses?

    Also, curious to know where you did your MRI for our future use.

    I studied landscape architecture, the disc bulging might have started back then by bending down continuously on the drawing boards ‍♀️

    Many thanks again

    @Bernadette_Abraham  I have attached the fasting insulin result too. I understand the thyroid levels may not be at the optimum levels; however being a thyroid patient for 20 years, I am struggling to comprehend how that would lead to an extreme ferritin levels?

    @Bernadette_Abraham  Yes the genetic condition was tested and ruled out. Thyroid and sugar levels are normal.

    It was diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver.

    I have attached here the results for HBA1C, thyroid and transferring ferritin levels.
