HiI found out I had APS during my 8th pregnancy in 2006. I had PEs. Fast forward to 2024. One of my adult daughters had PEs in pregnancy, horrific treatment from hospital, which was minutes from losing both my daughter and her baby (at 39 weeks) I'm now waiting to have a genetic test for APs as I

Shingles Jab
I noted that Lupus sufferers over 50 were supposed to be eligible for the Shingrix jab. However, after requesting one from the Surgery the receptionist said no. I did recently get the over 75s Covid booster without asking, courtesy of my immune system, , which I thought over the top. However, as rashes

Does this look like lupus rash?
Hi everyone. I started with a flat purple rash last Tuesday. It’s spread across my stomach and down the front of my thighs. Then a more sporadic raised rash started on shoulders, back, and then my hands and arms on Friday evening. The first marks on upper body looked like I’d scratched the skin. Yesterday

Don't know what's real anymore...
Some know my story so far, but briefly, rheumatologist diagnosed sjogren's after several years of UCTD and has now referred but to a sjogren's specialist. I saw him about a month ago and he's not convinced it's sjogren's and is running more tests and told me to stop taking Amitryptiline as tris can

Biomarkers to Assess Multiple Sclerosis
Some review and maybe something new.
Recent research on fluid biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS) frames an emerging picture of two aspects of the disease: inflammatory activity measured with
neurofilament light chain
(NfL), and disease progression independent of relapses, with promising

Hi all, Feeling somewhat relived that my latest medichecks test shows my TSH has increased since Jan (same dose - 75mcg) from 0.9 - 3.38. T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

In case anyone is interested, registration appears to be open - both in they are accepting registrations AND it is open to the public. It would be interesting to find out about how useful it is. The time makes it somewhat awkward for many in the UK. I think it works out to be 01:00 in the morning

Intrinsic Factor result
bit disappointing it didn’t come back positive., but I know they don’t always accurately reflect the underlying condition.It also means my pernicious anaemia could be due to long term use of PPIs rather than autoimmune gastritis. (By the way stopped PPIs in December last year) .
