Lupus or Lyme?
I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2012 with strongly positive ANA results. I have the fatigue, joint pain, mouth ulcers etc. I am on Hydroxychloroquine. The onset was quite sudden and followed menopause. However, I had also been working in long grass for some time-a place likely to contain ticks. My question

Hi, I'm new on here, so please bear with me
I have had Psoriasis on my scalp for coming up 2 years now, and nothing my doc has prescribed has worked. Lately, I have had a few (initially) small very dry patches come upon my face. They have got bigger slowly, and my doc has said that it's Impetigo, and he's given me some cream for it (Fucidin).

Night Time
Morning Everyone, I've been going through a fairly 'quiet' period after having my skin graft and being off work for 5 weeks over the festive period and I think the rest did me a world of good. One symptom I have in varying degrees which is quite bothersome is very stiff and clicking joints of a night

Ridged nails - dermatologist diagnosis
Dermatologist said my nail condition was washboard nails also known as fungal paronychia, but looking at the images for each of these shows a different type of effect on the nails. Mine resembles the washboard images which is due to picking at the cuticles, which I do. The fungal paronychia is due to

Spot the difference: harmless mole or potential skin cancer?
Back to the normal program after my indulgence on Australian birds, here's a valuable article on how to identify suspicious moles with a great deal of information on melanomas, the really scary skin cancers. Given our much higher risk of developing skin cancers, this is a topic we should all take very

Post Op
Hi All, Had my skin graft on Wednesday and all appears to be going well with little pain from the graft or donor site.. I do think the surgery has brought on a flare tho as I'm having hot flushes back / kidney pains along with fuzzy head / slight dizziness. I am off work on total rest anyway so hopefully

Are you ever free of Thyroid cancer?
I was discharged from my oncologist a few weeks ago. Big celebration and relief. I then got to thinking,theoretically, if my thyroglobulin begins to rise, my thyroid beds begin to grow,that could be it back. I know my Thyroxine is keeping my metabolism ticking over, but as its a suppression med too

Cold climate is a risk factor for thyroid cancer
BACKGROUND The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased between 1988 and 2005. Some of this increase is likely due to an increase in diagnostic imaging studies, which would pick up small thyroid cancers that are not otherwise apparent. While the number of small thyroid cancers is increasing, so are

Lysine/Herpes(Cold sores) and RA
I was wondering if anyone has tried Lysine supplements for their RA? I came across a website (search David W Gregg and Rheumatoid arthritis) in which he gives a theory that RA is somehow related to the herpes/cold sore virus and he gives details of patients who took lysine which made their symptoms better

LDN - has anyone here used it?
Hi Everyone....Remember me? I am the one on 360-450 mcg of T3 and still severely hypo. So I came across an article on Lyme disease; it stated that the inflammation caused by Lyme's can block or downregulate T3 receptors. Not saying that I have Lyme (although it has been suggested that I check) but rather
