Laryngitis and lupus
Hi, I am having my 2nd bout of laryngitis in 10 weeks, having never having had it before. I have just looked on Doctor Google and it says that my laryngitis can be caused by my lupus. Is this correct? Is this something I need to mention to my lupus specialist? I am due to start on methotrexate next

New diagnosis
Hi there, I got I'll from glandular fever in my late teens and have been given different diagnosis over the years and now I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis. I'm hopefully going to start sulfasalazine and just wondered has this been successful for people? I've been so fatigued for so long,

Belimumab treatment
Hi I have lurked on this site for years but now after reoccurring pericarditis my treatment for lupus will change. I need advice and have questions I've been in Plaqunail and methotrexate for years and tapering off prendsisone at the moment. The pericarditis comes back when I taper off the steriod

Advice needed on thyroxine management
I am hoping someone can advise me about my thyroxine dose. Here's a little background: In September 2023, I was underweight and having trouble gaining weight and suffering from anxiety. I had been on 75mcg of levothyroxine daily for an underactive thyroid. I had recently developed pins and needles

Prednisone for treatment of AIG
I've just been started on Prednisone or Prednisolone, immunosuppressant steroids, for treatment of Autoimmune Gastritis/autoimmune PA. This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure. It is also used to prevention immune system rejection of organ

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

updated journey
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

another CT scan with contrast
hello, I did eventually go to the ER because of my stomach pains. A CT scan with contrast was conducted on my chest, abdomen and pelvis but no serious emergency was detected and I was sent home. The build up of stool remains unrelenting despite low food intake and mostly liquid. This is a summary
