Very sore and swollen hands. Is it possible I now have rheumatoid arthritis?
Hello 👋 😊 I have really sore hands. Particularly thumb/wrist joint on both hands and swollen little finger on right hand. Three or four finger joint too. My GP has done blood tests over several years and said it Osteoarthritis, not rheumatoid. Over the past 3 months I have had a couple of episodes

Can anyone help with Coeliac disease test results.
Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with my test results. My IGa came back slightly low, 0.63 range 0.7 - 4.0 And my Ttg came back normal, 0.1 range 01 - 10.0 I know a deficiency in Iga can create a false negative coeliac test but would it be this low? I was wondering if anyone

Stage 4 fibrosis of the Liver
I contracted Hepatitis A in 2020, undiagnosed for 2 months. Six months later I was told I had NALD and last year I was sent for ultrasound scans and blood tests to check for cancer. In March this year, I was told I had Stage 4 Fibrosis of the liver. Does anyone know if this can be reversed, any treatments

Thyroid causing problems?
I have an underactive thyroid-diagnosed 2018. recently I have been experiencing bad anxiety and depression (also diagnosed for many years). Had anti depressants upped a couple of months ago but notice no difference. Just noticed t3 and t4 haven’t been tested since 2021. Do GPs just tend to check TSH

Under Active Thyroid since 2006
Hi All I was diagnosed back in 2006 with Underactive thyroid. I was put on Thyroxine but it never really agreed with me so weaned myself off of it in 2013 after a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul. I pretty much felt ok until September 2020 when I was completely exhausted and blood results showed

I also have other

, but they were stable on Besremi aside from the hair loss. Alopecia areata. See my mpn specialist tomorrow. Thinking I should take a break from Meds and then work on med for depression/anxiety.

Hi All. Thank you for adding me to your forum. I've been on a bit of a health journey this last few years, with very unhelpful GP's. I had lots of symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, aches, numbness and tingling (peripheral neuropathy), low mood, which have had a very debilitating effect. I joined

I’m 74 yrs old and have some other autoimmune conditions with arthritis. I have Kyphosis and thoracic spine degeneration. Up until a year ago I didn’t have much pain or much restriction. That has changed and now my right side of chest aches a lot up into my shoulder. I am restricted in what I can do
