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

Serum folate 7,(3.1-20.1) completed loading dose, being retested in 8 wks, is it best to take folic acid now, or wait for re-test please?
Hi My folate is lower in range and I was discussing red cell folate test (thank you FlipperTD!)as a way of checking folate privately. I am now wondering whatās best to do if anyone has any advice please. Is it important I wait to see how b12 settles in and see what happens with folate result in 8 wks

Charlatan or science?
hi folks, I am awaiting diagnosis of Graveās disease and during the last 3 months since my blood tests via the NHS and the waiting game to see an endocrinologist, I have been researching hyperthyroidism. The internet is FULL of people claiming there is a link between micro biome and leaky gut and Graves

Injections
Hello everyone. I'm waiting for NHS appt with endo which is 20th May. I don't know how much longer I can stay in work feeling like i do atm. I'm exhausted all the time. I cant afford private treatment for B12. I already pay private consultants for menopause care so I just can't add on anymore.

Feeling rather blue
So I've been at a fairly useless clinic for the past 5 years - managed 2xICI and 1 egg collection with 2 embryos at the end. All chemicals/ failures. I had a consultation with one of the consultants about my treatment. He dismissed any supplements other than folic acid and vitamin D. Said my AMH (12.07
