Diagnosis - What to expect?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Sjogren's and auto immune hypothyroidism in 2017, currently taking 10mg methotrexate, I have suspected I have lupus too for a while, but lack of doctor appointments due to Covid and their general disinterest when I did have an appointment meant I carried on with no formal tests

Erythritol has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death
Purified stevia leaf extracts (Truvia, PureVia, others) use this artificial sweetener and I was wondering how this would affect those on blood thinners, like Warfarin, who must maintain a certain pro time level. There was a study done in Cleveland and reported widely with some unexpected results. I

Chest 'pain' and anxiety - it's back and I hate it!
Hello crew, and hope those that watched the Crowning business enjoyed the ceremony today. Since about 6pm last night (after a day sitting quietly at my desk at home) I've noticed a return of what I've called the 'biting' in my left chest - a little nagging 'pain' that branches to my left armpit and

Darn and other expletives - back in Afib after CV lasted just a week!
And what a lovely week it has been! All my energy back, no bubbly heart beats, feeling top of the world. I know most everyone here has been through this so please bear with me while I swear. Silently, I promise. I knew CV was just to ascertain the next step, but one always hopes you'll be one of the

ET-The mental aspect
M52, diagnosed with ET/JAK2+ (confirmed by a BMB) a few years back as my platelet count spiked over 600k. In fact I had a change from "normal" to over 450k at some point in 2013 and counts were between 430k-530k for a good 8 years, without any concern expressed by my GP. With the spike I was referred
