MCTD diagnosis, finally!
Hi everyone. If you've been following my posts, you probably know I've been very frustrated with the NHS. I decided to go to India and get all my tests done and see a doctor as well.

fibromyalgia or lupus
hi has anyone else been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but you think it’s more likely to be Lupus. I am constantly tired and just don’t have any energy, hate direct sunlight and have constant pain in my joints. How do I get my GP to actually come to a conclusion it’s so frustrating not knowing.

Does fear play a role with pernicious anemia?
Hey guys, I hope this message finds you well. It's good to have a place to come that someone has some understanding of what you're going through! I messaged here before about having fear of a lot of things that I didn't have before this PA/B12 deficiency and sometimes I think of myself as a wimp because

Spider Nevis, does anyone else have these?
Short story, hospitalised over a year ago with jaundice and ascites due to alcoholism, considered de compensated cirrhosis, original fibro scan read 22.2kpa, now it’s 9 and I’m considered to have fibrosis and not cirrhosis although my liver is obviously scarred and my doctor is quite honest when he said

Blood tests whilst pregnant
This is a question after reading posts+research. I understand there is a Def link between underactive thyroid/Hashimotos kicking off whilst pregnant+a link between Hashimotos+pre-eclampsia. Speaking from experience many years ago, for me this seems clear. So, just as mother's are checked re diabetes

Anyone know about Dr's or consultants prescribing metformin for endometriosis?
I recently got access to ALL my medical records from the consultants I had been referred to over the years and saw that in the past I had been prescribed metformin, altavita and amitryptaline at the same time by an endocrinologist. I presumed at the time it was for my underactive Thyroid and wasn't on

Shingles Jab
I noted that Lupus sufferers over 50 were supposed to be eligible for the Shingrix jab. However, after requesting one from the Surgery the receptionist said no. I did recently get the over 75s Covid booster without asking, courtesy of my immune system, , which I thought over the top. However, as rashes
