Confused
My consultant phoned yesterday and said she didn't have all the results from my blood test on the 13th but my anti ana was fairly strongly positive. My inflammation levels were normal and I've previously had a positive rheumatoid factor. She mentioned a connective tissue disease.. What could I have?

Feeling Lost. Why is there no medical help?
Hi. You all seem so knowledgeable and helpful. I am hoping you can help me feel a bit more hopeful about things.

New diagnosis B12 deficiency
I am new to this group despite following Thyroid UK comunity for a year or two now. I have been concerned over the last few years about the potential of thyroid issues due to nodules growing in both sides of my thyroid. Investigations last year found nodules were benign with normal TSH 0.9 (range 0.2

My P.A. Story
Although my P.A. journey started “officially” on 10th May 1972 events from 13 years before may well have been the true beginning. Around Christmas time in 1958 I started to get “indigestion” pains in my left chest area and these got progressively worse until the Tuesday morning of 28th April 1959 when
