Finally! Am so relieved and oddly excited! I know it will take a while yet but feel like I am at least on the road to recovery!

Well done, MiniMum97. I hope you'll be feeling somewhat better in a few weeks.

Hello day 3 for me. Have a bug I think giving me swollen glands and awful headache but do not think it's related to the levo. Seems to be passing now. How about you? 😊

Day two on 12 lol. Couldn't keep eyes open and had a sleep, woke in a start and in panic, haven't had this for a long time, unsure why?

Watching awards and had a boo boo, awful as think I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, it's just that it's been such an ongoing long winded epic battle to get right! (Good cry does help ).

Onwards and up xx

I know, I've been feeling really tearful too. I think it's the relief at finally being diagnosed and starting treatment. Would be interested in keeping in touch and hearing how you are getting on if you would like to?

Yes you're right! I was very emotional at the end of the week when I got blood results back and got really approachable female doc

And it's awful that in Feb the doc said that I had not got antibodies?? How can this be?

It is a relief because at times I thought I was bonkers lol. How old are you

I think the antibodies tests have to be done a few times as the antibodies can fluctuate. So you need to test a few times to be sure that you dont have any.

Hi k2 is a vitamin you should take with vitamin D3. D3 promotes calcium absorption and K2 ensures that the calcium is directed to your bones and doesn't build up in your veins or soft tissue. If you need to take D3 it's generally recommended you take it with K2 MK7. I take this one...

D3 should be taken with a dietary fat
