RF, RA, Rayos & Pain
I had a great first visit with my rheumatologist this week. She was validating and knowledgeable and respectful. She is also pretty confident I have RA (tons of tests ordered and I go back in a couple of weeks). Two things: (1) my original labs that got me referred to a rheumatologist showed a rheumatoid

Seeking a good travel insurance company for rheumatoid arthritis
Just wondered if anyone has any advise on travel companies they have used that covers rheumatoid arthritis. Also I noticed that for Corona virus cover you have to be up to date with COVID vaccines and unfortunately I missed the spring booster so any advise for cover would be gratefully received. Many

Hello, I have different types of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and arthritis in the rest of my joints, ankles, hands and such. I also have crepitus in my right shoulder due to an accident which has also damaged my back. Yes, I know, need a new body but until medical science catches

Hello, I'm 70 years old. Last week I had a vitamin B12 shot on Monday, and then on Tuesday I saw a hematologist because I wanted to rule out that I'm anemic. He ordered labs (they did them right there on site). A few minutes later, he said I was not anemic and was also probably not B12 deficient. (so

Weight loss on intermittent fasting even better than my last post 3 years ago!
Hi all, I haven’t been on here for 3 years now but the reason we are all members of this site is because we want help with our thyroid issues, so I decided to log back on and share my progress with you. I took up intermittent fasting a few years ago and was blown away with the results as I was at

Tiredness - can anyone suggest ways to help with tiredness caused by rheumatoid arthritis?
My drugs are controlling the inflamation caused by RA, but I am still very tired, not able to do the amount I used to do. Any ideas other than pacing myself? Any good vitamins etc? thanks

What to expect?
Finger pain and swelling ongoing several months. No functional deficit. Rheumatoid factor mildly elevated and anti-CCP off the scale at >340. No rheumatology appointment yet - only just referred. Am I likely to be prescribed Methotrexate?

High B12 - more tests needed?
My SO has several anaemia symptoms - pallor, breathlessness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea etc. GP says the bloodwork is OK despite family history of PA. Blood tests (GP & Medichecks) so far show haemoglobin & MCH a bit below range, haematocrit & MCH low but in range. Serum B12 is consistently high (latest

GP says results are fine
Fatigue, brainfog, muscle aches, joint pain, and other various symptoms. Below are my blood test results. The GP stated there is nothing of concern. He seemed more focused on mental health issues. Is there anything obvious below? Someone said to post here. Rheumatoid factor 8 Range: Below 12.5

Am I really lacking B12?
I was diagnosed with PA around 2018, I had the camera down which confirmed atrophic gastritis, I had positive tests for anti parietal cells and intrinsic factor; so classic PA. My B12 levels were around 300 at the time and not considered low but i was given loading doses and monthly injections. However

10yo daughters results…HELP!
Hello, I have posted before regarding my daughter who is 10yo but we have just had some very unusual and worrying results which may explain her health issues. She has a long term history of low platelets and I’ve been trying to solve this for her as it has been unexplained. We have strong family history
