Pain with swallowing
I suffer from health anxiety and depression. After being on an antibiotic for possible tick bite, I began having pain about four inches under left armpit every time I swallow something solid. This has been going on for 7weeks now. Not worsening and no other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this

I need a rant!
WARNING: MAY STRAY INTO MELODRAMATIC SELF PITY So.....after very recently being rejected for a referral to NHS endo I have now been told that my ultrasound has been rejected too. I asked for this as I can now see a visible swelling on my neck and it would help me get a NHS diagnosis for my Hashi's.

Where to next with throat issues?
I had the results of my barium swallow and nothing abnormal was found. Despite that my swallowing problems are getting worse and I can’t bear anything around my neck because of the discomfort it causes. The ENT doctor won’t carry out any further tests, is there anything I can do to help myself?

Worrying upper abdomen pain
Hello, this is my first post and I am a little nervous about it. Where do I begin? I was diagnosed with Diverticular problems 20 years ago. I had upper abdomen pain and urgent diarrhoea at the time. It settled down and I got used to it and carried on as best I could. 8 years ago it changed and saw the

Onset of T
I had moderate T for about 3 months, apparently triggered by SSNHL. Then, 2 weeks ago out of the blue the T exploded in my head. I now have a very loud high frequency tone continuously in my right ear and more irregular noises in my left ear. When I say loud, I mean on a par with sitting in a car

Firstly why do my legs feel like jelly, (now on 11mg) and secondly what is the threshold for referral to a rheumatologist?
I was first diagnosed with PMR at the start of lockdown and the euphoria triggered by pred was amazing but since then 3 attempts to get below 7mg haven’t succeeded. I walk my dog daily for about 1 hour so I don’t understand why my legs feel so weak. I am in a constant battle with tiredness but I don’

Is it worth doing 'internal stretch' or muscle exercises?
Hi - a strange question perhaps. When diagnosed with Limited Systemic Scleroderma a year ago, I was sent info sheets with hand stretching/ flexing exercises and the need to do them often was reinforced in verbal advice. I am now aware I am finding it hard to swallow some things more often so I wondered

Feeling low after docs appointment - questioning myself again
Hi all, just had a telephone appointment with doctors to discuss my Medichecks results as shown below. I don't know why being dismissed AGAIN has upset me so much but it really has. According to him this can't possibly be a thyroid problem and my high antibodies don't indicate much and certainly not

REFINING MY PREVIOUS QUESTION (,,, food for thought): should it be preferable in PSP to take phenylalanine instead of tyrosin supplements?
REFINING MY QUESTION (,,, food for thought...) Tyrosine is a dopamine percursor and as such appears to be a good option for supplementation in PSP. “Tyrosine hydroxylase” is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L- tyrosine to L-DOPA. Tyrosine can also be made of phenylalanine

Greater Understanding of PV, ET Drives Potential New Treatment Options
“Continued high-impact research may soon foster the development of disease-modifying therapies for PV and ET and satisfy this need for the optimal management of patients with these MPNs,” they said. Researchers are also determining how to best optimize current treatment options, including JAK inhibitors

Been dealing with an issue for 14 months and can’t get diagnosed!! Opinions and thoughts needed!
Hi all, thought I’d reach out and share what I assume is a gastro-related issue that I’ve been dealing with for a while (approx 2 years), in hope to get some ideas and direction on how to get this diagnosed and treated within the NHS - because so far, with all the visits to the GP, trips to the hospital

Undiagnosed and positive ANA
