Anybody out there with lupus or shortens with vestibulitis/vulvadynia?
Hi there, I was only recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in the last couple of years although I've had a positive ANA for many. About 2-3 years ago I started having a whole range of symptoms including mouth ulcers, skin rashes, ear issues, joint pain and swelling, fatigue etc. I've been on

Ana positive but not clear about the diagnosis
Hello first time to post. I went to the rheumatologist yesterday for the second visit. And I forgot to mention I get these clear blister type bumps on my fingers and hands, they itch! My Ana 640 speckled and positive. They ran some other test too, AnTi Scl 4.0 But I left office uncertain what exactly

Long overdue diagnosis(s)
I finally found out helpful information about what has been causing many problems I'd associated my thyroid with incorrectly. I'm so fortunate to have been referred to a Rheumatologist who noticed many things wrong at first glance that my other doctors either didn't notice, or more likely couldn't have

Help! TSH 'normal' on new bloods
Hi all I have no idea what is the best course of action to take. I was raised onto 100mg of levo 7 weeks ago when my TSH had crept up to 5.6. I didn't get a copy of my bloods. It is worth noting that I was put onto a different brand of tablets for the 100s too. Anyway, I've felt totally rubbish since

St John's Wort?
Today was a pretty rough day for me... Was wondering if anyone has experience with St John's Wort? I'm strongly considering trying it before an SSRI... Any help is appreciated! Thanks

In desperate need of help - symptoms baffling everybody.
I am new here and looking for help and answers. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I’ve not been diagnosed with coeliac but I do wonder if it's the cause of all my issues. I have myriad life altering symptoms and I'm desperately trying to get to my root cause. I’ve been really quite sick since

Not the worst thing I've had to live with....
I was diagnosed ten years ago and had a biopsy to diagnose PBC and have had two more, five year intervals, to stay on top of things. Also have upper endoscopies to check for varices (varicose veins in the throat and esophagus) every two years. My Alk-phos progressively got worse as time passed and pretty

Struggling to get diagnosed!
Hi, everyone! I'm new here, to the lupus community. Like many before me, I've been struggling to get an accurate diagnosis. It's been a long process so far. My symptoms started back in October, with random swelling of my right forearm. I went to the ER, where the doctors agree it was probably tendinitis

I'm confused
I'm still not sure if I have lupus or not because I still haven't gotten results back. I only have a positive ANA of 1:40... my hair has been falling since July 2015, now I'm noticing eye brow loss too. But when my hair started falling in July up until now I had ZER0 other symptoms... just now I started

Rheumatologist Update
I've been trying to catch up IRL with everything that happened during my appointment and I wanted to thank all of you for your help and guidance. Dr. Collins has started me on Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day and written a recommendation as well as reasoning for my hematologist to raise my target

A long death update .the results are in guys. Any advice greatly appreciated.
I waited a bit longer for the results so I could have the doctors input. I'm a bit apprehensive about returning to the Gp as he has dismissed every request. He's done the run of the mill tests and over the space of 6 months of infections I have come back with Vit d deficient , low folate , crp raised

Letter from Respiratory clinic & some test results.
Would appreciate opinions on the following. Last summer GP referred me to Respiratory clinic ( due to shortness of breath that was obviously part of the B12 def he ignored) Waited 8 months for an appointment by which time no breathlessness, walking 2 miles with no problems thanks to S.i . Letter arrived

Thoughts on CRPS compensation
So I've had negligence upon negligence and then some more...! I originally fell down the stairs and broke my leg in 3 places. They put 6 screws in my leg. One was in the wrong place (but could be argued with that it was acceptable) the other was slightly too long - confirmed by CT scan, and needed replacing

Spinal Cord Stimulation for PD Pain
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with electrical spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of pain related to PD. Meds have become ineffective and the pain disabling many days. I already have had dbs surgery so I figure at least I could keep some appliances running during a power outage

Boarderline positive on ANA test. 1:40... does this mean I have lupus?? My doc said he is 100% I don't.
I can't help but wonder if that positive is going to turn into something... the only symptoms I have are hair shed and some fatigue... I'm confused. I read somewhere that if you have a positive, regardless of no symptoms, then there is definitely something wrong with your immune system:(

Will I ever start feeling better?
Hi everyone I can't tell you how relieved I am to have found this forum. Long story short, I have been filling ill since I was 30. I am 35 on Friday and may be slowly getting somewhere but that's down to the fact I have been fighting for help from my GP and various hospital departments. When I was 30
