Is this a lupus rash?
Does anyone think that this is a lupus rash. It keeps flaring up. This year I’ve had 2 courses of steroids. I am also on hydroxychloroquine which I’ve been on for 10 years now. In June I started on methotrexate. I have a phone call tomorrow with the rheumatologist nurse. Is it worth asking to see

Amalgam fillings
Hi I’m just putting this question out there out of curiosity. I’ve not posted for a while so here goes… My cousin came to stay with me from Canada. He’s been concerned about my diagnosis for what I was originally told was rheumatoid arthritis. However they’re now calling it Undifferentiated inflammatory

Endocrinologist recommendations in/near West Sussex for Addison's / adrenals
Can anybody recommend an endocrinologist in West Sussex or nearby please who knows about adrenals and Addison's? It comes as no surprise to me, but a private blood screen has just shown very low cortisol levels and a couple of other bits, that suggest an adrenal problem, possibly Addison's. I've not

I read some time ago about a list of local Dr's who will treat underactive thyroid. My Dr says i do not need to be treated as my level is 4.5 and it needs to be 5. Can anybody help with where i can find it. Thank you in advance.

underactive thyroid
hi there I’ve had an under active thyroid for 8 years and recently gained weight and losing iron. My doctor has said my neck thyroid reading is ok but my “brain reading is slower” Does this make sense to anyone? Also, how do people take iron and vitamin d as I have read not to take it near medication

Gluten: Links Between Celiac Disease and Multiple Sclerosis
Interesting read. It's harder and harder to ignore diet as part of the MS path. But there are still so many unanswered questions. The bottom line, eat healthy, and exercise... this will always bend your long-term health outcome towards more positives... https://www.verywellhealth.com/celiac-disease-and-multiple-sclerosis

It was my understanding that if you had an underlying health condition like Lupus you could be prescribed anti viral medication if you tested positive with COVID. I contacted my doctor today and he said lupus wasn’t on the list of serious underlying health conditions and that GPs don’t prescribe the

Seeking a good travel insurance company for rheumatoid arthritis
Just wondered if anyone has any advise on travel companies they have used that covers rheumatoid arthritis. Also I noticed that for Corona virus cover you have to be up to date with COVID vaccines and unfortunately I missed the spring booster so any advise for cover would be gratefully received. Many

Omentin-1 Levels in Hypothyroid Patients with Autoimmune Thyroiditis
The number of things related to thyroid function just keeps growing. I have no criticism of the authors - who are simply reporting what they saw. But if Omentin-1 is relevant, then let us see more research! No - I have zero understanding of Omentin-1 - none at all! This is just a search - which found
