St John’s Wort and Levothyroxine????
I’m considering taking St. John’s to alleviate some anxiety and low mood symptoms. Has anyone any fixed experience in taking it when also dependant on levothyroxine? I take 100 mic g a day.

Anyone with spinal cord stimulator?
I'm considering one for neuropathy in my feet. Not diagnosed with MS yet (going to MS clinic on Thursday, yay!). My pain doc said it might be hard to get insurance to cover it for MS related pain. Curious if anyone else has one?

Alk phos level and ezetimibe
I have just been told that at 285 my alk phos is too high and I should start another drug called ezetimibe on top of the urso. I have to stop breastfeeding my 15 week old as a result so I just wanted any thoughts on this prior to taking this step which I'm quite upset about.

Positive ANA and clots
I just turned 25 years old and let me tell you I feel way older than that. I just gave birth to my third child. I got several extensive and severe blood clots. My iliac and femoral was completely clotted (no blood flow at all) from groin to ankle. It's now been 10 months on blood thinners and I still

Cause of liver enzymes continuing to rise? ALT and AST

Do I Need to be referred back to a Rheumatologist?
I'm 46 and have been having spells of unwellness throughout my life. At 18 I was in hospital for weeks with HSP & ongoing kidney issues (iga nephritis) which got better in time. I was told that it was quite rare to get HSP as an adult & I would never get it again. I've had many bouts throughout my adulthood

Pudental Neuralgia
Prior to having a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted I had another lumbar MRI. I knew from an earlier MRI I had a bulging L5S1 disc This MRI showed the L5S1 disc had ruptured. I have read on line this can lead to Caudal Equina Syndrome as well as cause compression of Pudental nerve via the Piriformis

Blood clots and blood in urine (no radiation)
My husband had a TURP 8/4/17 (in history below) but has not had any other surgery. Had second round of taxotere last week...next one in two weeks.

ANA test
Hello. I looked at my lab work and noticed that my anti-nuclear antibody pattern is positive but my anti-nuclear antibody (hep2) is negative. How can that be? My AMA is positive but it's the two ANAs that are different that puzzles me. Does anyone know the difference?

So frustrated
I was really hoping today would be the day that I got some answers but no such luck. My doctor referred me on to a gynea as while my scan came back consistent with polycistic ovaries again, my testosterone is low (actually close to under normal levels, despite being high in the past - I wondered though

Liver Enzymes up
My profile info is below... In our visit for chemo yesterday his bloodwork came back with elevated ALT/AST/BUN-Creatinine ratio- you can see numbers below. Thankfully PSA is going in the right direction. The oncologist wants us to go off of all supplements to get a baseline. We both take some herbal

Confused by Rheumy appointment and everything else. Please advise? At my wits end 😓
Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted last. Alot has went on so I'll recap quickly: - Positive Ana, Ena, C reactive protein, Ro and elevated platelets in Dec 16. Referral to Rheumatology. 33 weeks wait until appointment. - Overactive thyroid discovered in June 17 when I got viral meningitis.
