Thyroid Antibodies
Just read a post from Thyroid UK about antibodies. The raised TPO connection seems clear, but then It says “The next group is the TG Ab. These levels rise as well as the TPO Ab levels in autoimmune thyroiditis, but to a lesser degree...” I don’t understand what this is saying…does it mean that BOTH

hi there, I have just had a positive ana result and suspected lupus so I am being referred to a rheumatologist. I have a slight red rash on both cheeks but nothing on my nose. Can a lupus facial rash be just mildly on both cheeks and not on your nose? thanks in advance for any replies? Pinkyerin

Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

Watching House
I am off on a long weekend (tomorrow I go back to work), and watching House on Netflix. Funny how they focus on positive ANA for lupus on this. Of course it is never lupus, but the irony is, when you don’t tests positive on ANA - it can’t be lupus. BUT, if people test positive for ANA, you are told

What other tests
Hi all. Other than ANA which obviously indicates an autoimmune condition (I'm highly positive) And I have many symptoms of what I feel is Lupus. I'm just wondering what tests are available once referred to rheumatology. So I am armed with Knowledge and don't get fobbed off. Is there anything further

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Australian research - possible cure?
I don’t like raising false hope among our community about ‘cures’ toted in the media, but I found this article interesting. It’s about the T-cells, which many of us already know is involved in autoimmune activity: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast-episode/australian-researchers-develop-world-first-method-of-treating-lupus

Putting on weight
I have under thyroid and have posted a few questions so sorry for another one. Do any if you find if you put on the slightest but of weight it triggers you to go more underactive? For example at Xmas like most people I put on a bit of weight then I feel I go underactive and then put on more weight.
