When should I tell me manager I'm pregnant
I want to wait until 12 weeks before telling anybody I am pregnant, but I work with complex, vulnerable individuals, often lone-working, and am not sure whether I should tell my manager earlier than 12 weeks. We have had a lot of ups and downs with IVF and so I am feeling anxious about sharing the news

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Update - pinning all our hopes on one embryo
Thanks for all your well wishes. We started with 5 eggs, which dwindled down to 2 embryos by day 3. As you know, we requested for a day 3 single embryo transfer against clinic advice. Well, it looks like my remaining embryo did not make it to blastocyst. We just got the call. My clinic feels that

Pegasys side effects
I was switched from 500 Hydroxyurea/day to 90mg Pegasys every two weeks. The pain in hips and thighs is substantial - headache also, but not as bothersome as the muscle pain. Has anyone else experience this on Pegasys. Also, has anyone tried CoQ10 for muscle pain and has it work? Thanks

distortion on Amsler grid
Hi, I’m 44 years old and developed eye pain a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty intense and mostly in the outer corner of my left eye though a little in my right eye too.

Were you given physical instructions for how to give the injection? I have written instructions that were sent to me with the approval

Coffee-drinker?
I've had glaucoma since 1988, many ops and drops. Have noticed that my eyes get very misty from time to time, which is a pain when you are having tests to get your driving licence back etc. Thought, blood sugar? That's all I need... Nope. Turns out it's COFFEE that's affecting me! No coffee, no

Nailfold infection
I have my second nailfold infection in 2 months - it is proving difficult to resolve and a few days ago a telangectasia bled profusely for no reason. Is this connected to my Systemic Sclerosis or just a coincident. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Advice about hair loss please
Hi, so diagnosed with sub hypo 2 months ago with very raised antibodies. I've been on 50mg levo which was raised due to symptoms after a few weeks so now on 75mg. But while I have seen an improvement in other symptoms my hair is shedding even more. Can anyone advise how long does it take to calm down
