New diagnosis of RA
I was diagnosed with RA approx 4 wks ago & started taking Methotrexate 15mg for past 2 wks followed by a blood test 4 days ago, my question is, am I supposed to receive the results of my blood test the same day as I have increased my dose (now on wk 3) without knowing whether my bloods are abnormal.

High Urate Levels Symptoms?
I've just turned 50, and been having a few symptoms of generally unwellness. Pain in the back / Kidney area. GP thinks I may have pulled this, but I wasn't so sure. Also intense Brain Fog, confusion, memory lapse now and again, with fatigue and tiredness. It feels like my head is being squeezed and

US Senator Joe Lieberman died from MF
Just read this in Wall St Journal. Reproduced below from: https://www.yale64.org/remembrances/lieberman.htm since the WSJ version is in a paywall. -- His son calls the prior condition old fashioned MPD. I assume it was PV, suggests his Dr may have been likewise old fashioned and maybe he didn't

Prescribed levothyroxine at last!
After a long struggle, you know how it goes... I have finally been offered a trial of levothyroxine by a GP. My Medichecks results in 2020 were ignored by my GP (serum TSH 6 range 0.7-4.2) plus presence of large amount of antibodies. NHS ones kept coming back 'normal'. A different GP agreed to

Charlatan or science?
hi folks, I am awaiting diagnosis of Grave’s disease and during the last 3 months since my blood tests via the NHS and the waiting game to see an endocrinologist, I have been researching hyperthyroidism. The internet is FULL of people claiming there is a link between micro biome and leaky gut and Graves
