I think I now have to act based on latest results. But am confused what my next step should be. Help!!
Okay. So you will see from my posts I am going back and forth, round and round. But now I think I need to take action regarding my latest thyroid results. Long story short, I have been diagnosed with Fibro but believe there is an underlying cause. I have had two positive ANA results so been looking

Hi! 6 years ago I came down with a mystery illness. So far no doctors had been able to give me a diagnosis, could it be lupus? More details:
I was just wondering whether if I posted a fairly detailed history of my case, symptoms and test results would you be able to offer any ideas about whether it might be Lupus or Lupus related/autoimmune? Or just any ideas at all really? The illness began in November and completely out of the blue. I

Parathyroid Help? :-(
Hi all, I had my long awaited Endo appointment yesterday, it didn't go as well as expected :-( I had to push for the referral as I have had elevated calcium levels for a long time and fluctuating PTH ranges. My hope was to be able to get to see an Endo and get him to look at all my blood tests over

Could I have Lupus?
I have had joint pain in my knees since I was 10. Now the pain is in my hips/knees, elbows, and sometimes toes and fingers. I have bad headaches and dizziness. I am constantly getting cold sores in my mouth. I have a positive ANA test of 1:40 and my ESR was 32 mm/hr. My other tests came back negative

Anyone ever used St. John's Wort?
Hi everyone, so my therapist recommended St. John's Wort to me for mild anxiety. I was just wondering if anyone has used this?

More information on diagnosis trickling in....
I called my doctor, while I wait for my tests this week to see how strong my AMA titre was. It was 1:160. I googled and it said anything over 1:40 is considered high and strongly indicates, with my ALK phos and GGT levels PBC. No surprise there, I guess. I really don't want to have a biopsy, but

Could this be Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Hi, I've just joined today and this is my story. Well, I've always been very bendy. Not to the point of doing the splits - I've never, EVER managed to do that. But my problems started in 2002 when I injured my hip. From that moment on, it would click and snap whenever I moved. I saw an osteopath who
