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 what’s 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

Would an iodine supplement help?
I still don't feel well (very tired and the most dreadful brain fog which has stopped me driving) and wondered how I would know if an iodine supplement might help? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Latest Medichecks results - stopped taking b12 liquid 2 weeks before test. Taking Spatone, VitaminD

Charlatan or science?
hi folks, I am awaiting diagnosis of Grave’s 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

aches and pains when I exercise.
In the last year I have noticed I hurt and get stabbing pains in my ankle and lower back and hip after any form of exercise. Makes it difficult to keep in shape. I had horrible body aches all the time until I found out I was vitamin D deficient and have been on a prescription of 50,000 units for 6

High thyroid hormone link to low estrogen
Hi all, does anyone know if going through an early menopause which is causing estrogen levels to fall create a higher blood concentration of thyroid hormone levels. Please include links, no guessing please. Also after a few months on thyroid lowering drugs, folic acid levels have dropped below range

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 -

b12 deficiency and MRI scanner...
Hi everyone, Weird question... Did anyone else who has had an MRI, find that it upset your nerves for a while after? (Like weeks) I cannot tell if it was that, or the heightened stress of awaiting my results... So, thought I'd ask on here? It was 2 weeks after my first one that my whole body crashed
