I now have more results Serum folate 14.3 (3.1-17.5) Ferritin 138 (13-150) Iron 14 (5-28) B12 280 (200-940) Since they are in the range ‘everything is normal’! The coeliac one was clear so I can now try gluten free for 3 months to see if it makes any changes. But I am still tired, muscle aches

Atrial Fibrillation
Hi, I have suffered with AF since 2018 resulting in 4 cardioversions and 3 ablations (the last was on Friday 17th May and was an AV node ablation linked with connection of a previously implanted Pacemaker. I had hoped that I would be feeling great, no breathlessness. Unfortunately that is not the case

Exercise induced AF
I’ve had a great 4 years since my AF diagnosis, able to live pretty normally in terms of my choice of exercise with 3 years AF free following my cardioversion and just a few increasing episodes of paroxysmal AF in the last year. Recently I felt that a triathlon bike/run training session set off my AF

Statins
I had a call from my GP surgery about taking statins.Apparently my cholesterol is okay but I have a 38% risk of having a stroke or heart attack. Even though I take anticoagulant statins work in a different way and are recommended for me as I am in persistent afib I do not want to take statins but wondered

Lupus re-diagnosis UCTD
Hello All, so when I last posted I had been to the rheumatologist Prof X and told my bloods were not suggestive of lupus but he did not suggest want condition could be the underlying cause of my symptoms. This morning he chose not to see me, instead I saw a very nice female doctor in clinical research

digoxin
Have been on Digoxin now for 6/12 and it has had a profound effect. Unable to take more modern drugs because I have Asthma. I am certainly much better than I was. I think it’s probably your hypotension drug causing your problems and have a consultation with your Gp.

"Failed" exercise stress test
I have AF, gradually worsening, with chest and throat pain during episodes. Cardiologist did an exercise stress test on Tuesday and stopped the test after 3 minutes. He told me I have ischaemic heart disease - which is a bit galling as I have never smoked and do not eat red meat, cheese, eggs etc. -

Bisoprolol
Hello, The cardiologist has swapped my medication from Verapamil to Bisoprolol, 2.5mg/day. So far so good as far as side effects go 👍 but there is one thing. I can't seem to get warm since the swap. The temperature here in the north east has dropped since our couple of days of summer but it's more than

I have just been diagnosed with a fib, after years of suspecting something was amiss, but never having episodes when a doctor, and even a cardiologist, was seeing me. I bought a Kardia6L, which showed many afib episodes. I took that to my GP of 13 years, and he immediately swung into impressive action

Permanent AFib
Started on Digoxin .25 daily for past six days and cut Lopressor down to 25 twice a day. Am going to try to wean off. HR 80-110. Generally do not feel well and am going to revisit ablation. I had blurring of vision and dizziness on higher doses of Lopressor alone. Last cardioversion only lasted

Study: Depression is largely prevalent, but undiagnosed in SLEResearchers in Pakistan surveyed 40 people with SLE using PHQ-9 scale
Depression is highly prevalent among people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but often goes undiagnosed, according to a single center study in Pakistan. The “treatment of depression is a vital component in the management of these patients and should be offered where appropriate,” the researchers

I wonder how many of us have this gene snip?It seems responsible for some autoimmune Thyroid disease and is quite rare
I have my nebula genomics results and this snip in particular seems relevant . Does anyone else have their results? Snip rs2476601 it says in snpedia.com that it is bad to have an A and very rare to have 2 AA Can cause lots of other autoimmune diseases too Best wishes Manjushri

Vasculitis Specialist Advice/Direction Please
Hi,I was diagnosed with IGA Vasculitis mid -December. This was diagnosed after a hospital stay and kidney biopsy. Upon reflection I think I have had this for some time and am trying to piece everything together. Have started a 6 month treatment course in a bid to get it to remission stage at which point

Hi.....again
Hi everyone, My partners liver cirrhosis had disappeared - to look at him you wouldn't know anything was wrong, he's on medication and for a while everything was good. Now he's developing a hard tummy again, I'm now worried that something is very wrong as he hasn't drank since he went to hospital back

T3 when to take it
have been put on a T3 trial by a private doctor who specialises in thyroid conditions, just wondered what time of day morning and evening is best to take it, as have been told to take it twice a day. Been on thyroid medication for over 70 years. For a underactive thyroid. As members say the thyroid
