Sleep issues and melatonin
Hi everyone, has anyone sound information regarding the use of melatonin with autoimmune disease. I am reading conflicting advice about using it with certain autoimmune issues, although it doesn't mention PA or Hashimoto's specifically. Any advice would be helpful as my sleep or should I say lack of

PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
I supposedly have psoriatic arthritis/tendinopathy however there is no evidence in my blood. My tendons attaching to elbows and feet become extremely painful. I was put on MTX 15ml injections for 8 months but stopped as my blood cells were slightly enlarged and the jury is out if it was even working

How long does a coeliacs blood test take to come back?
Exactly that! I had bloods done on Friday lunch time, including a FBC, B12, folate, and ferritin. Also Coeliac screen (TTG). All the others are back but not the coeliac screen yet. Is that usual?

Breakthrough with the cause of IBD - may lead to similar discoveries with other autoimmune diseases?
Just spotted this on my BBC News notifications. BBC News - Major cause of inflammatory bowel disease found https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1wwdd6v2wjo It's written in layman's language, but seems to say they have found that there is a genetic link and that they have drugs already that might treat

self-inject intramuscular vitamin B12
Hi all,I often read these posts but not very often write in. I was diagnosed with PA in 2000 using the schillings test. I have been having IM injections every 3 months ever since. However since COVID I have been self injecting. My surgery does not really support that, so I just buy supplies from Germany

B12 deficiency and night sweats query
Hi - I don't have a diagnosis but I hope you don't mind if I pick your expert brains 🙏 I (Female, 45) have fairly regular blood tests due to medication I take for inflammatory arthritis. My MCV has been a little bit high for years (up to 102). Early on doctors would question it and because of a family

IVF - After a Miscarriage
Hi All I’ve had SLE since 2014, and I had a miscarriage in my first trimester in Jan 24. Since, I’ve been referred for IVF and in parallel I am trying to get a referral to a Lupus In Pregnancy clinic so both the fertility and lupus clinic that specialises in pregnancy can help build a plan for me.
