Why am I being tested for Hep B?
I have had Budd Chiari for nearly 14 years, I have a shunt and luckily everything has been going fine since then. I have an app every 6 months for an ultrasound scan, then my outpatient app and bloods taken. I had an appointment yesterday and like normal I was in and out quite quickly as the scan showed

HEP B TREATMENTS
Hi, I saw my doctor today. I have had HEP B for many years. My doctor was only monitoring it. Today he told me that he is very concerned about my ALT levels. He recommend to start antiviral medications now as he is concerned about the cancer risk. I asked him if I will be taking them for the rest of

USP or API sources for different NDT thyroid brands
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has information about which NDT brands use which Desiccated Thyroid Extract (USP or API) sources and where these USP/API sources are manufactured? I am particularly interested to know about Armour, NP and Erfa and even the new brand Adthyza.

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab). I’ve been scratching my head to find out why this could be, as my diet hasn’t changed. https://amzn.eu/d/bTWoF2o The only change I’ve made is to increase my usual turmeric dose (which

MTHFR and Lupus
I noticed that some members have both of these diagnosis as well as Sjogrens. No one ever checked my homocysteine level until after I had Complete Heart Block and was implanted with a Pacemaker/defibulator. I have always felt that if the MTHFR was diagnosed before all the other autoimmune diseases, I

Sadly Not Just Thyroid Patients
I've been following the infected blood scandal with interest, basically thousands of patients in the 70's, 80's and early 90's were given blood transfusions/ products that were cheaply imported, often from USA, and not screened for Hep C. This was to save the NHS money. Unfortunately many people became

hello there, I’m Steve. I have been living with auto immune liver disease for 20+ years now and I was recommended to join by a social prescriber at my local doctors surgery today! I’m just looking for support from people with autoimmune hepatitis and other liver conditions, who have found it difficult

ANA Negative
My gp sent me for a ANA blood test which came back negative. She has referred me for a rheumatology appointment before the results came back, but I don't want to waste the rheumatology appointment. Has anyone else been diagnosed with a negative blood test?

possible hep c infection
I wonder if anyone can advise me please. My wonderful 76 year old mum was given a blood transfusion after the birth of me 48 years ago. Over the years her blood test has shown slightly elevated bilirubin but no further action was taken, I think we hoped it would be Gilbert’s syndrome. I know she knows

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Back again !!
On 8th April 2024 I had a blood test as I was feeling tired and generally under par, tested my TSH 3.7 ( 0.27-4.2) T4 12.6 (12-22) so my dr increased my Levothyroxin to 75mcg. I felt a little bit better but had another blood test on 5th June and my result was TSH 3.01 and my T4 13.7 I'm feeling tired

My RLS has settled for the time being. Thank you for the information and support!
For the past six months, I've been RLS free! I'm so happy about this and it has made such a difference to my sleep and wellbeing. I have the wonderful, supportive people on here to thank, and especially SueJohnson. Because I received such a good amount of information last year, I was able to check

New test results. Comments?
Hi everyone! Sharing my last test results!My levels all seem to be better, Antibodies are still high though, do you think is still worth keeping a GF and DF diet? I had the idea that removing gluten and dairy would magically reduce antibodies 😅 My symptoms have improved a bit, but I cannot say I'm

Treating Parkinson’s by targeting the gut-brain axis with B vitamins
A study by Nagoya University in Japan found a link between gut bacteria and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers discovered fewer gut bacteria genes that make B vitamins B2 and B7 in PD patients. They also found that low levels of these vitamins are linked to poor intestinal barrier function, allowing
