Coeliac test
Hi All, Just looking for some advise. i have been having issues with my eating and stomach for years. I went to the doctors for years and and an investigative surgery done to see if i had Endo and that was causing the problem but that came back negative. The advise from my doctor was to change my diet

Are there any holistic remedies for LUPUS?
My wife has recently been diagnosed with LUPUS. She had been in an accident in Florida back in March. She was treated poorly by the police/ handcuffed/ spent two nights in jail with low lives. She became a nervous wreck, and couldn't sleep lost appetite and became extremely reclusive. I'm hoping that

Hives on scalp
I haven't posted for a while but I developed Hives on my scalp, few itchy spots on my upper body and itchy ears in February. Was given fexofenadine and lotion which calmed the itching down but never went away, every time I've tried to stop the antihistamine I have to start it again. I've got oral lichen

Hashimotos - inflammatory arthritis - hydroxychloroquine
But I think I’m still going to look for a clued up Rheumatology dept, that’s got more idea about
autoimmune
diseases
. I have dry eyes and basement cell dystrophy and as hydroxychloroquine can affect your eyes I don’t that it’s really good for me to have at all.

Can anyone explain about soy please
Can someone please explain if it is fermented or unfermented soy that is ok to eat if you have an underactive thyroid. I have to make adjustments to what I eat and have been looking at tofu and tempeh but am not sure if they are ok to eat. Apologies I am a bit forgetful at the moment after long surgery

RA OR LUPUS
Morning, sorry for the long post :) I am new on here and awaiting an appointment from Rheumatology after some blood results. My doctor suggested Rheumatoid arthritis however indicated it could possibly be Lupus. Also bloods showed kidney function is abnormal but not too concerning. So for context

sharing a Hot Tub ok with Lupus
Hi I’ve had Lupus for 30+ years now diagnosed with Hasimoto 6yrs ago. Read somewhere a long time ago thatLupus suffered should avoid a shared Hot tub due to our immune system compromised. Is that correct do you think?

my daughter has Underactive thyroid she is taking 50mg Levothyroxine. She is extremely tired all the time, she has put a lot of weight on even though she has a healthy diet, I thought that she would benefit from seeing a private endocrinologist instead of her own doctor who will not increase her dosage

How much T3 to take for underactive thyroid
am looking for some advice. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago and put on levothyroxin by the GP, gradually going up to 150mg. I found myself still exhausted and putting on weight despite a strict diet and exercise regime. So after some research, I bought T3 from an Internet Pharmacy and

Just diagnosed
Hi all. I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia along with Tendinopathy(bit like tendonitis) having previously been suspected to have Rheumatoid Arthritis. This new diagnosis makes more sense. Would the Fibromyalgia have come on recently, or could I have had it for years and not realised? I've always

anyone else UCTD?
hey all! So I’ve almost arrived at the final diagnosis after spending a week in the hospital surrounded by specialists and looks like it’ll be UCTD. The reason is my labs all point towards Scleroderma but my symptoms say Lupus and they assumed Lupus for a year now, but never popped positive on AntiDsDna
