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

cardioversion
hi, I had my first Cardioversion at St Richards Chichester on 11th March. (First diagnosed early January but probably been in AF since Sept) It worked initially but reverted to AF very shortly after. Since watching the very helpful video interview on this site with Prof Gupta, now realise that most revert

misdiagnosed cirrhosis?
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis approximately a year ago. Had all the classic symptoms with ascites being the worst. Every time the gastroenterologist sent me for an MRI, the ascites has interfered with the test. He reluctantly gave me a diagnosis of cirrhosis when pushed but didn’t seem confident. Been

hashimotos and cortisol testing
Hi there because of the fatigue I am experiencing, I am thinking of having some tests done to see if my cortisol is ok. I am aware of the short synachten test, the straight forwards blood test for cortisol or the 4x a day saliva test. Not really sure where to start or if this will be useful to my healing

PSA Doubled in 2 Months
PSA end of August was 0.12 now 0.24. I met with 2 ROs to discuss treatment when my PSA was 0.20 a week ago . One suggested ADT 18-24 months and prostate bed radiation. Second RO says we can avoid ADT for now as he sees 0.70 as the value he believes requires ADT. I'm scheduled for F18 PSMA scan in early

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
