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

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

I also have other
autoimmune
diseases
, 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.

Next steps in diagnosis and coeliac disease.
Hi I have a couple of questions if anyone could help please. First I'm being test for celiac disease as well as hypothyroidism. I've had one test thats has come back today saying im deficient in IGa, which I know can create a false negative coeliac test result. My question is can it affect thyroid

Autoimmune gastritis
I came across an abstract of an article called "Autoimmune gastritis". https://www.nature.com/articles/s41572-020-0187-8 Unfortunately, the actual article is behind a paywall. But a helpful illustration from the article can be downloaded, and is available here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41572

my story
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

Emotional
Hey Everyone 👋 I am new here but not new to multiple sclerosis. My issue is that the disorder seems to mostly target my cognitive functions which has been hard because no one can see the issues I have but my huge thing is I can't seem to regulate my emotions. I am just angry all the time. I feel so

Statins - get informed and know the risks
This is my take on things - my personal experience and that of people I have met, known and loved (family members). If you are being pushed to take statins I would advise people to read up and consider risks before deciding to go on statins.. AND IT IS your decision. There’s loads of literature,
