Diagnosis
I have Bronchiectasis, MAC,Tia's, AT3, and Barretts disease, excuse the spelling..I have been very sick on the right side and thought it was a lung discomfort. My liver panel has been elevated for a long time. Now that I have the right Dr's in place they decided to do a series of blood work. Results

Spinal Cord Stimulator
Hi Folks, My PM doc seems to be nearly at the end if the road with me - I've been a chronic pain patient for nearly 40 years now - I'm 60 this month. He's listed me for one more procedure but after that the only option is for referral on for assessment for a SPS. He is not very optimistic about this

My story
Following Ivonnepf's message to me I shall tell you all my story: I had been suffering a lot of stress at work and woke up one night with my heart pounding. My GP referred me to a cardiologist, who subsequently diagnosed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and prescribed flecainide, which controlled

Positive ANA doesn't necessarily mean I have lupus?
Is this possible? My rheumatologist looked at me and said he doesn't think I have lupus even with a positive ANA. Has anyone heard of this? I would love to not have lupus, but seem to have a lot of the symptoms and have to wait 6 weeks for results...ugh!

Rheumatoid arthritis, pain is back with new symptoms
Hello. I've been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since 2006, after a long ordeal through doctors, drugs without any effect such as Cortisone, Chloroquine and Arava or too many side effects like Methotrexate plus strong pain that lead me to pass a long time stuck in bed, finally in 2011, I was given

Low Calcium and B12
I am hypothyroid (3 years and adequately replaced on levo 125mcg). I have just got my latest blood test results back and although the GP hasn't contacted me I've looked at the results and think that treatment is required. I'm not sure if low calcium and low B12 are related but if I can understand

Is St Johns wort ok to take with NDT? Feeling quite depressed :(
Feeling somewhat down right now - I think it's just a combo of the Thyroid symptoms (esp the weight gain and hair loss, and obviously the fatigue) and also sick to death of my aching ribs, still not sorted despite numerous doctors visits. Some days I wonder what on earth I'm getting up for - and struggle

The Liver Function Test (LFT) If you've just undertaken your very first LFT, this brief note may help you to understand it a little better..
This test usually consists of up to six separate elements – the results of which will assist in diagnosis. However, the term "liver function test" is misleading, because it can measure possible hepatocellular damage (temporary or permanent), rather than liver function. The LFT should consist of all

Hello everyone I currently have hypothyroidism diagnosed several years ago. In 2010 I went to my GP with overall joint pain, muscle aches,
tired. I felt like I couldn't do anything nor did I want too. Working my job was hard enough. The GP ran blood test, it came back with a positive ANA. I was sent to a rheumatologist that Dr ran a serious of test. She informed me that no arthritis and I would think she tested for lupus as well just not

Can a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis be made on bloods alone?
Hi. I had a hepatic episode just over a year ago where my liver function bloods were abnormal for approx 6-8 weeks. I was mildly jaundiced and very itchy. I had a significantly positive ANA and was seen by a gastroenterologist who felt certain that I was displaying a typical picture of autoimmune hepatitis
