Is there a difference between Barrett’s tongue and barretts oesophagus ?
I have been trying to research this since my endoscopy showed “possible Barrett’s tongue” Biopsy has been taken to rule this out which I hope is a positive sign , but does anyone have experience of this term? I understand that it is associated with hiatal hernia although my reflux issues aren’t too

Confused
Still not diagnosed was initially put on naproxen but still pain persisted , both doctor and I then assumed I had polymyalgia so he tried me on predisnolone which seemed to calm my symptoms a little but after taking bloods for a second time my results came bk clear ! So now I'm being put on Duloxetine

Update to anyone interested
Hello, still in pain and still struggling to get a correct diagnosis. My long awaited referral with a specialist Rheumatologist in Oxford lead to yet more insistence that I have fibromyalgia. I don't have fatigue, brain fog, depression, any stomach disorders...just pain in the neck, girdles and legs

Advice please
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to this group and was worried about posting but I’m feeling so lost. I am waiting on a diagnostic laparoscopy for potential endo. Pelvic pain started around a year and a half ago. I have had an internal ultrasound which only showed a small intramural fibroid but I was told

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

Tapering - have I overshot?
As per my bio. I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023 and started on 15mg of Pred. Have been tapering at 4 week intervals from 15 to 12.5, then to 10 then 9 and then 8. So far so good. However, about 5 weeks ago I strained my back quite badly. Two telephone consultations with GP. At first, he prescribed

High Gamma GT results due to medication?
I recently had a health check via my insurance company and my Gamma GT levels came back high (105 U/L). I have a very balanced diet and excercise 3-4 times a week. I drink alcohol, but not everyday (a couple of drinks during the week and at the weekend perhaps 3-4 drinks) but I understand high levels

Hip Pain
Hi, I am 21 years old and have been suffering with Endometriosis for 10 years now (although I was diagnosed in 2021).

hi everyone I came across this group and joined in hopes I can find some solace with others who may be going through the same thing, if not similar. I broke my leg in 5 places a few years ago and I’ve never had a day pain free. The pain became widespread and has become worse as time has gone on. I

High Blood Pressure and Lupus
Hi, I currently have high blood pressure and I'm taking Ramipril but I'm also having a flare which is playing havoc with my joints. Everything I read says don't take ibuprofen or naproxen if you have high blood pressure and that these NSAI's reduce the effectiveness of Ramipril. Problem is that at

My story
Given the start of my Seropositive RA in 2005. I had bad experiences with most of the traditional RA meds prescribed. I never really understood why doctors only seemed to give medication which would suppress the immune system. Generally I felt this approach was making me feel much worse. So for many
