Going round in circles! Help with blood tests please.
Hi there Sorry is this is a little long, I appreciate anyone who reads on. Hard to know where to begin but have been feeling ill for around 4 years with lots of varied symptoms some of which come and go, some which hang around. But they include severe fatigue, muscle weakness/pain, hair loss on head

Hi to everyone I don't think I have posted before but regularly read comments and info on this site. It is very comforting and supportive
to realise that there are people out there that have similar if not exactly the same health issues and that I am not a hypochondriac as suggested by a lady consultant years ago. I was wondering if anyone can as i am now very confused. Years ago I was diagnosed with RA then about 7 years ago I was diagnosed

ANA Test
Just got off the phone to my GP my blood test were abnormal, and the doctor has accepted my telephone request for the ANA test, form awaiting me at the local hospital! I have an appointment then to see GP on 24th April. I'm hoping this is going to result in a referral to a specialist, not bad considering

Blood tests
Anyone have an idea how long I'm likely to wait for my results, I understand that some tests take time to "culture" or something like that, but I just asked the doctor to add on a ANA test as I've read it's result is a good indicator of Lupus,I've not heard back from him yet with an answer. Fingers crossed

It's Saturday and I have survived so far, my parents were ok about me not staying for easter, so that anxiety has passed. Stepdaughter has been and gone without any teenage mood swings and no noise from next door all week. I am sure saturday night will bring some noise but I don't mind too much as the

St Johns Wort and knitting
Just wondering if any takes St Johns Wort, I took it years ago but can't remember if it made any difference. I have started taking them again and wonder how long it takes before you notice any difference. I have noticed the brand I buy has been repackaged with 'help with low mood' not mentioning depression

Just want to say hello
