Dukoral - Cholera Vaccine
I just took my first dose of Dukoral. I will wait a week to take the second dose. A friend of mine who lives outside of Detroit Michigan went over to Windsor and made the purchase and had no problem crossing the border with it. He declared it as an over the counter diarrhea med. The agent laughed

Awaiting diagnosis
I went to the doctors following a range of different symptoms, bloods came back showing positive ANA. Got referred to a musculoskeletal Doctor, who did some tests and suspects Lupus, and has referred me for an MRI on my spine. Had some pains in my hand and various aches across my body, but no pain in

Positive RF test but negative CRP?
Hello everyone! Ice just had my blood tests back. The doctor says this is 100% RA. RF came back 163 and ANA positive. Everything else came back negative such as CRP. Anyone in a similar situation? Thank you!

Negative ANA - but lots of lupus symptoms and rash?

I just want to get back to living!!
Almost 3 years ago, when I was 32, I suddenly started losing weight at an excessive rate with no explanation. I dropped from 130 lbs to around 90 lbs in a matter of just under a month and continued to loose weight over the next 6 months with my lowest weight hitting 72 lbs. I was sent from one doctor

Can NHS GP's order an ENA Panel?
Hi, I have an, as yet, undiagnosed autoimmune issue (I believe). I am waiting for a rheumatology appointment (been waiting since September last year) and have suspected psoriatic arthritis then dermatomyositis. But recently I've been wondering if I don't just have plain old Sjogren's Syndrome. Because

Raynauds Disease, Positive ANA, normal complement levels, I'm lost.
Hello :) I was just diagnosed with Raynauds and tested positive for elevated ANA titer. I don't know by how much because I was not given the results. My doctor emailed me and told me to get more blood drawn. All of my CBC bloodwork came back normal. Glucose, magnesium, sodium, all normal range. ESR perfect

More blood tests before being referred to rheumatologist?
Hi all The reason I'm mentioning this is because I had a whole lot of tests late November - one of which was a positive ANA and was asked to speak to the GP in a non-urgent way. For one reason and another (Xmas and appointments being booked up several weeks in advance), I finally got to see GP last week

Possible causes of Ataxia
🙂 This is a ‘long read’ and may be difficult to interpret, but never the less it’s interesting. What processes can cause ataxia? The pathophysiology of cerebellar ataxias is as diverse as the various neurological and systemic diseases affecting the cerebellum. Broadly classifying ataxias into genetic

Hi everyone, I’m new here and wonder if someone could offer advice pls. I’m female, 48 years old and have always been in good health. In December 2018 I suffered with, what I can only describe as a “chronic mental health” episode - 4 separate “life changing” things happened within 3 months and I got

How long for ANA test results?
hi all, went to GP with a persistent rash on my face and she's done an ANA as is concerned about possibility of Lupus (as she says I'm "rather autoimmuney" - I've got coeliac and hashimotos). I have achey joints and recurrent mouth sores and thrush but really nothing major, I feel like I'm just not ill

Do I accept this is only Primary Raynauds?
Struggling to accept diagnosis is only ‘likely raynauds’. My feet don’t bother me however my arms legs and hands look and feel dead.. they ache and they burn around my elbows knees and knuckles with a visible bright red patchy rashes. My knees click crunch and creak every time I bend as do most of my

Excessive Sweating/Hyperhidrosis
Hi all. I'm from the UK. Can excessive sweating be a symptom of SS? I have heard it can be a part of the Autonomic Nervous System becoming dysfunctional. My thyroids and other hormones seem fine. I'm not diagnosed with SS but had ANA positive a few weeks ago and waiting to see GP but fear he will dismiss

Cns symptoms.
I am diagnosed officially as uctd, with positive ana (1:1280) and anti ro. They call it lupus mainly, the last few years I've been getting progressive Cns type symptoms. I was diagnosed with dystonic tremor in my left hand, but the tremor is progressing. I also have muscle weakness, early muscle failure

Been told probably false positive ANA
Hi I had a positive result for ANA and the ANA pattern was described as pattern 1 - normal - no action needed. I asked my GP to explain in an email and to give me values. I just phoned my GP reception as hadn't received the email so she read it out and said there is a high degree of false positive for

Still searching for answers
Hi, I posted here a few years ago about my symptoms and that I'd seen a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with hypermobility syndrome. I remain convinced I have another underlying condition in the autoimmune family. I have recently been diagnosed with erythema nodosum (painful lumps on my left leg) by
