New to CMT
After two years bouncing from 1doctor/specialist my primary care doctor sent me to the University of Florida. There a wonderful neurologist quickly diagnosed me with CMT. That was my beginning of knowing what I was dealing with. I have been bed-ridden for over 2 years using a walker or wheel chair. A

VM Meningitis 21 days diagnosed
After cat scans and
spinal
tap
I was diagnosed as having viral meningitis. I didn’t have a traumatic head injury since I was 5 years old, I do have an auto immune disorder and am assuming it is the reason I was susceptible via breathing in the virus bug from somewhere.

Viral Meningitis from HSV
What I thought was a normal migraine one day had me in the ER getting a
spinal
tap
2 days later. (Which I had to ask for, I was going to be sent home with ‘migraines’).

Blood Results
Good Morning All, I have enjoyed reading all the Posts that members have made but never written anything myself; I am hoping someone can help me better understand my blood results from medichecks. A little history- I was diagnosed with Graves in 1999, after 4 years of an overactive thyroid and on maximum

Feeling so down after months of trying everything. Would really appreciate advice on latest bloods.
Apologies for a long post. As some of you may know, I have tried so hard to help myself since Hashis diagnosis last March. I’ve been gluten free and mainly also grain free (which I find such hard work) since April, I’ve followed numerous protocols on the advice of a functional nutritionist to heal my

Bit Puzzled By Latest Blood Test Results
Just received my latest MediChecks results - previous ones in brackets at the end of each line. Most were Sept 17. rT3 was July 17 as was B12 of 194.8. My lowest Vit D was in April 2016. I am now on 100 mcg Thyroxine (reduced from 200 after previous results in Sept) and 40 mcg Liothyronine (increased

Second Opinion?
So far I've had an MRI (back in July) and a
spinal
tap
(back in October), both ordered by my Neuro. The diagnosis was possible MS, several small lesions on my brain and no O-bands showed up in my spinal fluid, but had high levels of proteins. I also had seriously low levels of vitamin D and B12.

Good morning to everyone. I've recently had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and whilst the spinal site is healing really well and I am getting pain relief, the battery unit implanted on my left side on my lower ribs is driving me mad!. It is extremely painful, sticks out quite considerably and precludes

I have viral meningitis. Please help
Well he sent me to do a
spinal
tap
. ( that was awful). The results came back viral meningitis. I have been off work for 2 weeks now. This has been going on for 6 weeks now. I don’t know if I’m ready to go back yet.

Normalise the TSH to keep doctors happy?
I have had a
spinal
fluid
tap
and the results will take +/10 days. However, they also had my thyroid tested as they suspect a connection between Hashimoto’s and AE. This morning, I was told that I am hyperthyroid and will be put on Euthyrox (100 mcg daily) until my TSH is between 1-2.
