After 4 years I still don't really know what I have.Initially diagnosed with Undifferentiated Inflammatory Arthritis, then discovered by accident that it had changed to Connective Tissue Disease and Lupus. I also discovered only yesterday that at some point I tested positive for ANA which I've never

Running low on iron
I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate but I can’t use it. My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me. Anyhow

Not believed
I was sent to Rheumatology last year as my hand keeps swelling and I can’t bend my fingers. This was after many years of other issues but I never put the puzzle together and thought I could have been suffering with an autoimmune disease. I have suffered with Angioedema since 2017, with my face blowing

Aristo out of stock 😨
Finally it’s happened here too…. I’ve worked my way through the small stock of Aristo T4 the pharmacist had stashed for me. They had 17 tablets available in a broken box 😲 As recommended, I’ve gone back to the GP asking for them to specify Vencamil/Aristo on the script and reissue. Luckily I’ve squirrelled

Bleeding after embryo transfer to positive test but low HCG increase
Following from my last post - the saga continues! I was bleeding heavily the week of my OTD. From there I continued to bleed on and off for another 2 weeks. The pregnancy tests were initially getting fainter so we assumed a chemical pregnancy from the transfer. Then I did a pregnancy test and it was

Maltofer
Hi -- just curious if anyone is using Maltofer to raise their ferritin? It's chief benefit is that it has fewer gastrointestinal side effects than the ferrous iron salts. Thanks.

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant
