Blood results help
Hi I have had blood test tsh is one (range 0.4 to 5) and T4 is 14 ( range is 9 to 19). Also had an ultrasound which showed altered echotexture but no enlargement of thyroid. Are these results OK? Have symptoms of underactive thyroid but results all in range. Thanks

Other blood results
I now have more results Serum folate 14.3 (3.1-17.5) Ferritin 138 (13-150) Iron 14 (5-28) B12 280 (200-940) Since they are in the range ‘everything is normal’! The coeliac one was clear so I can now try gluten free for 3 months to see if it makes any changes. But I am still tired, muscle aches

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

Study: Depression is largely prevalent, but undiagnosed in SLEResearchers in Pakistan surveyed 40 people with SLE using PHQ-9 scale
Depression is highly prevalent among people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but often goes undiagnosed, according to a single center study in Pakistan. The “treatment of depression is a vital component in the management of these patients and should be offered where appropriate,” the researchers

I wonder how many of us have this gene snip?It seems responsible for some autoimmune Thyroid disease and is quite rare
I have my nebula genomics results and this snip in particular seems relevant . Does anyone else have their results? Snip rs2476601 it says in snpedia.com that it is bad to have an A and very rare to have 2 AA Can cause lots of other autoimmune diseases too Best wishes Manjushri

T3 when to take it
have been put on a T3 trial by a private doctor who specialises in thyroid conditions, just wondered what time of day morning and evening is best to take it, as have been told to take it twice a day. Been on thyroid medication for over 70 years. For a underactive thyroid. As members say the thyroid

Does anyone with LUPUS get reoccurring Shingles/ Herpes Zoster infections?

Severing from fatigue, mouth ulcers really bad migraines. My body gets swollen and holds a lot of fluid. Joint pain as well as stomach issues.

Could thyroid be causing the issues ?
I have enclosed my daughters ( age 22 ) last thyroid result panel. Her TSH in June last year was over 6 then swung down to under 2 in September but is on the rise again. Her T3/ T4 are always just above minimum. Her father has Hashimoto’s as did her Grandfather and so does her male cousin. Grandad unfortunately

Underactive thyroid
Hi, my thyroid levels have been up and down recently. I've been on 125mcg and felt fine until the GP decided, after a blood test, to lower the dose. The dosage I need isn't available so I'm now on 100mcg for 5 days and then 112mcg for 2 days. Is this an ok thing to do? Thanks.

Suspect I have Addison's
I had a blood test yesterday and my serum cortisol was 330 nm/l.I have some hyperpigmentation & vitaligo. I think my GP was checking for Addison's. Hopefully now I can see an endocrinologist

Stomach issues
Morning all, So I am just about at my wits end with chronic gastric reflux and chronic wind up and down without much smell. Sometimes I vomit with it, and now I can only eat jasmine rice and even struggle to get water down at the moment. My stomach feels like I have been beat up from the inside

Can anyone help please?
Hi everyone. I am 9 years undiagnosed 🙄 my Rheumatologist thought I was a possible for Lupus but wasn't prepared to diagnose me there and then, this was 2015. I had had a positive Cryoglobulinemia blood test which was negative for Hep C, he said this was an indication of Lupus? Has anyone else got
