sulfasalazine side effects
Hi. I am on sulfasalazine for mixed connective tissue disease (similar to rheumatoid arthritis and lupus), which I started taking again after many years of my disease being in remission. I was initially on sulfasalazine 10 years ago and it is a horrid medication. Was, and am again, terribly dizzy

Hi everyone, I’m looking for any information about bloods and Thyroid please. I was diagnosed in 2017 with chronic pain, chronic fatigue and osteoarthritis. I have tried all pain medications the NHS has, and nothing touches the pain. I have had horrendous pain in my feet, left one for over a year,

I’m getting so frustrated with this underactive thyroid. My only symptom before I was diagnosed again was unexplained weight gain. I had put on half a stone but hadn’t changed any habits. After starting on levothyroxine I put on another 2 stone. This may have been made worse due to all my joints seizing

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

facial rash
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

I have hypothyroidism…have I got autoimmune pancreatitis?
Thanks in advance to all you good people, who’ve already been so helpful. Since 2012, when diagnosed with Hypothyroidism after years of illness, I was never referred to an Endo. I assume I have Hashimoto’s… From childhood, I’ve had recurrent GI symptoms to alcohol and fatty foods. Last August, I had

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
