However recently I have become pretty tired most times and my joints and feet started aching badly. I called the GP and she arranged

Hypericum perforatum: St. John’s Wort
Found this little beauty by a small man made pond while taking a little walk about yesterday. Hypericum is one of my herbal allies that can really help put some sunshine in my brain when it’s been days and days of cloudy or stormy. There are many ancient superstitions regarding this herb. It’s name

Diagnosis
I was wondering if I have Lupus and hoping some of you kind people might be able to help me. I'm going to do a really brief summary of my health life, that might be relevant. Late 20's Both knees suddenly stopped bending, clear up on its own. Pain in groin area, continued for 20 years. Weird headaches

Would really like some help interpreting my son’s first blood test please
Over recent times I’ve consulted this forum and got a real education with my Hashimoto’s. More recently you helped my daughter who you established is borderline hypo. This got me thinking about my son who has always been “lazy” but skinny. Lately though he has been putting on weight that is shifting

Lupus diagnosis
Hello I've been suffering with a long and multiplying list of seemingly random symptoms for a good few years now, and I'm desperate to find out what's going on so that I can feel better. GPs have been pretty dismissive although I've had some tests/treatments. GP yesterday mentioned Lupus but then said

Question regarding ANA
Does anyone know why TPO antibodies are on the ANA test if Graves disease and Hashimoto’s are not systemic autoimmune diseases?

Arm/wrist
I've got an apt 8the june with a rheumatologist. I've got a positive ana, raised esr, high rheumatoid factor and positive ccp. I'm petrified this pain is something like cancer. My right wrist started hurting and then left 2 lumps. Now I don't know if it's the lumps that are hurting or my actual wrist

All Lupus Symptoms with negative CTD scan
Hey, sorry if this comes across as insensitive as I can imagine this is an intense and stressful time for everyone. I wanted to know if you think that I might have Lupus. Or atleast could compare you first symptoms with it. See I have never ever felt like this before. I have always been extremely healthy

Follow up to positive ANA test
After posting yesterday I had a couple of lovely responses from some people with psoriatic arthritis and I thank them. I was wondering though, if anyone with RA had also tested positive or not. As many of you know I am changing meds, they are being given a month to work - if not then biologics have
