Watching House
I am off on a long weekend (tomorrow I go back to work), and watching House on Netflix. Funny how they focus on positive ANA for lupus on this. Of course it is never lupus, but the irony is, when you don’t tests positive on ANA - it can’t be lupus. BUT, if people test positive for ANA, you are told

Liver disease, mast cells and antihistamine
I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://

Hello all, I have just received the above thyroid test results and would appreciate some advice. I am feeling a bit underactive and wondered if I should increase my levothyroxine slightly? Thanks in advance

Sjogren's Syndrome
Was diagnosed with PMR 3 years ago. Under control at moment and injections down to monthly. Has anyone on this site gone on to develop Sjogren's Syndrone with PMR?

What other tests
Hi all. Other than ANA which obviously indicates an autoimmune condition (I'm highly positive) And I have many symptoms of what I feel is Lupus. I'm just wondering what tests are available once referred to rheumatology. So I am armed with Knowledge and don't get fobbed off. Is there anything further

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Australian research - possible cure?
I don’t like raising false hope among our community about ‘cures’ toted in the media, but I found this article interesting. It’s about the T-cells, which many of us already know is involved in autoimmune activity: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast-episode/australian-researchers-develop-world-first-method-of-treating-lupus

I am waiting to find out if I have Lupus but I haven’t got my ANA result back yet and I want to know if people think this could be lupus
Hi, I have been having concerns for over a year about me having Lupus. I had a blood test last year which everything came back normal and the ANA was negative however I am experiencing more symptoms this year and I have taken another blood test and so far the bloods again are normal but I have currently

Low BP preventing transplantation
My husband had kidney cancer in each kidney 5 years apart roughly 20 years ago. He had partial nephrectomies on each kidney. In November 2022 he progressed to Stage 5 CKD and had to start dialysis. He has low BP and is medicated to keep it up. The transplant team reviewed his case and said they cannot

Putting on weight
I have under thyroid and have posted a few questions so sorry for another one. Do any if you find if you put on the slightest but of weight it triggers you to go more underactive? For example at Xmas like most people I put on a bit of weight then I feel I go underactive and then put on more weight.

RO 52 Positive
I have tested positive for isolated RO52 antibodies. ANA negative. I have Raynaud's, rashes, splinter hemorrages, tiredness, breathlessness on exertion, (ground glass opacities in lungs, waiting on a second CT) joint aches, mild gastro issues. Am I likely to have Lupus primarily, or some other autoimmune

not PA, next steps
Hi all. I am now SI EOD and have had my iron infusion which is great. I’ve had my autoimmune blood tests back which show I don’t have an autoimmune disease or Pernicious Anaemia (results attached). I’ve been advised that means I have a gut issue which is blocking absorption, I’m keen to get this looked
