Can adrenals heal?
I was diagnosed with Hashi's 15 years ago, I'm now 62 and retired. I'm also in stage 3 adrenal fatigue syndrome (virtually no cortisol in June 2016). I've been self-navigating for the past 6 months, and have seen a LITTLE improvement in the fatigue and depression. I am able to take care of myself and

Waiting for diagnosis
I'm 39 and just had my first appointment with a rheumatologist yesterday. She did x rays and ultrasound on my joints and says she does not think it's RA and now doing more blood tests which may indicate lupus I have had a positive ANA along with pretty much every symptom of RA except swollen, red joints

Pleased with myself then .....
I've been under the care of a really good pain consultant for nearly a year now. One of the things he explained to me is how too much medication can in fact amplify your pain instead of stopping it. So I stopped my oramorph and have been steadily decreasing my dose of MST (morphine sulphate tablets)

Hello thyroid fans! I have been to a new haematologist who has carried out a swathe of tests to get a baseline, including some thyroid related ones that I hadn't been able to convince the previous 8 doctors to do! She said she would get I touch if there were any problems - she hasn't but has referred

Positive dsdna, then negative and my rheumatologist says I don't have lupus...
I would like to hear some opinion from people who might went through the same thing as me because my diagnosis has been very confusing. Back in July I had knee and wrist pain for a couple of weeks and I visited my GP, she run blood work and I was Ana positive and dsdna positive also, it was very low

Rheumy appt and blood results
Hi everybody, I've posted a few times but quick recap - finally got an appt with a rheumy after only 25 years of ill health, although the letter says they will review my referral and cancel the appt if they don't think it is needed, which is a little concerning - I've waited a long time for this! I got

MYSTERY and MISERY
Hello, I'm new to this and just wanted to share my story to see if anyone suffers with any similar symptoms? :) I'm currently waiting to see the rheumatologist for my first appointment which is next week.

ANA POSITIVE
My ANA was positive. C-Reactive Protein and Sed rate are high. Hemoglobin is low. I've felt like I have the flu for 3 weeks straight now with no relief. I don't see a Rheumatologist until January and my Doctor is not wanting to give any meds. I'm so miserable I cannot function during the day. The exhaustion

New tests results
So you may remember I posted test results from 2014 the other day, saying I was due new blood tests. Well I've now got the results back and finally got some results!! It's a long list so any comments on any of it is much appreciated... I've summarised at the end for those short on time/energy! TSH 6.2

Slowly reducing pred..not good this week.
Hi, I'll try to keep this short. I'm new to the forum. Got my diagnosis of Temporal Arteritis about 20months ago now. Rheumatology have struggled to reduce my pred, I'd get down to 20mg then the symptoms would start again, headache, headsore and jaw ache. They tried me on Azathioprine but my liver enzymes

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Medicinal Fungi - Button mushroom - Agaricus bisporus

WBMs are also a source of conjugated linoleic acid [CLA]. Surely, not a whole lot - but [1c] describes it as "an important component". & "WBM was

Good news not so great...and I'm really angry.
Hey.... So, if you didn't see me last post, I was excited to share with you all that the rehumy said that I didn't have lupus, (after a year of going back and forth) and that it was probably my APS mimicking the symptoms of lupus. Naturally, I told all my family and friends the good news, only to receive
