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

TSH/T3/T4/Vit B & D results
My previous Endo (private) retired last October and the new one (private) that I was suggested to see immediately reduced my Lio from 100 to 75 & the T3 from 20 to 10. Originally I had wanted to see an NHS Endo 3 years ago but none were available, hence the private route. My readings are T4 18.8 -

Vitamin D Result
Hi, I’ve been supplementing with 4,000 iu Vit D and here’s my latest result. I take co factors of Vit K2-MK7 and magnesium. I have 2 queries I hope you can help me: 1) Is 127nmol/l sufficient (I have hypothyroidism and I have a poor conversion) 2) Should I be adding Vit A? I’ve read that Vit D

Vitamin D Deficiency
4 years ago my husband was admitted urgently to A&E following a limb fracture and was subsequently diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis.
