Has anyone had their diagnosis taken away?
I have just made another post about my reduced mobility so apologies for that. I was diagnosed with SLE in January 2018. In the time from diagnosis until now I have had the following antibodies: ANA, dsDNA, Mi2b, Ro52, Rheumatoid Factor and anti-cardiolipin. For some reason UCTD was the diagnosis put

Latest labs look good?
Here's the deal. I've felt terrible since June 2017 when I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis. I likely had Hashimotos for many years prior but wasn't ever diagnosed. At the time of dx, my TSH was over 100 and free levels were tanked. Symptoms flooded in over the following months including crushing

Low ferritin and high transferrin saturation
Hi all, sorry if this is a bit off topic but I know there are some experts in vitamins and minerals out there. I haven’t been diagnosed with a thyroid condition but, with the help of this lovely group, I discovered my thyroid is sluggish (TSH hovers between 2.5 & 3 and FT3 has been at the lower end of

State of the art testing for PA?
I've been pursuing PA as a possible explanation for my numerous long term health issues, beginning injections on 6/3. As many here report, results have been mixed; apparent initial improvement followed by some issues worsening. I understand the mechanism of PA is presence of an antibody against Intrinsic

Thyroid blood tests
I had my thyroid removed 3 years ago but have never managed to have satisfactory results since and it was found I needed T3 which I was given but taken off last September because it costs too much. I had tests which proved I needed it and was given it back in April. I have consistently had a suppressed

NHS website states
The NHS website states " PA is the most common cause of b12 deficiency in the UK". So why do NHS doctors not read that? It goes on to say "Some people can experience problems related to a vitamin B12 deficiency, despite appearing to have normal levels of vitamin B12 in their blood. This can happen as

Low ferritin, normal hb , has anyone had infusions
Hi I currently have a ferritin level of 8 and feel terrible. I have a history of low ferritin and it hasn’t been higher than 25 for 4 years. I’m no longer able to take iron tablets because of side effects. My gp Has recommended iron infusions and from the research I’ve done could greatly improve my quality

B12 and iron deficiency link?
Just found this article. It suggests a link between B12 and iron deficiency. I thought it may be interesting. (I had B12 deficiency and iron deficiency at the same time, the iron deficiency corrected itself mysteriously after 2 weeks of B12 loading doses) Extracted quote to save you reading the whole

Blood results
Would be grateful it you could double check my results for me. Doctor who commented said everything is ‘normal’ except iron was a little high, but that could be because of the spinach I eat as I don’t take any iron supplements. I’m on 175mcg levothyroxine. Thank you

Thank You
I am blown away by the lovely responses to my first post yesterday, thank you so much. I was diagnosed as having mild COPD four years ago by a gastro oncologist following a CT scan. Since then I have had problems getting the doctors to take it seriously despite raising it several times. Last year

Should I be worried?
Had a cough since last Tuesday, got worse by the weekend and found I was using my inhalers a lot more due to chest tightness. Woke up at 1am this morning with a harsh, sharp pain in my chest when breathing in and out. Went down to a&e, Chest x Ray was clear, peak flow was okay and was given steroids

Pneumonia Vaccine
Morning all, after a chest X-ray and a spirometer test, I have been diagnosed with mild COPD. Last week the nurses suggested I have the pneumonia vaccine. I asked her if there are any side effects, she said only a pain in my arm 😃 Has anyone here had any other side effects from the vaccine. I ask

PA and Epilepsy and intrinsic factor
I have had Epilepsy for over 40 years, I was pretty much controlled, then I started falling over indoors, ok I'm used to that, but this was no fit, I thought it was my balance, after a couple of blood tests, I was told I had PA, one of the doctors in the practice, not my Dr, she wouldn't bother, she

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish
Well, yesterday was the appointment with my Rheumy which because of my first consultation going so badly, I held out no great hope for as he had talked over me, ignored me and generally treated me like c**p. So off I drove, after having the worst fortnight of flares for months. I still had 5 active

Any Costochondritis sufferers on here?
A couple of years ago this condition was question marked as my GP had sent me to hospital by ambulance suffering with a really bad chest pain, like I'd been kicked in the sternum. I had a chest x-ray, ECG and Bloods taken then an home. I have had RA for 15 years and have latent TB found 25 years ago
