Does this look like lupus rash?
Hi everyone. I started with a flat purple rash last Tuesday. It’s spread across my stomach and down the front of my thighs. Then a more sporadic raised rash started on shoulders, back, and then my hands and arms on Friday evening. The first marks on upper body looked like I’d scratched the skin. Yesterday

Don't know what's real anymore...
Some know my story so far, but briefly, rheumatologist diagnosed sjogren's after several years of UCTD and has now referred but to a sjogren's specialist. I saw him about a month ago and he's not convinced it's sjogren's and is running more tests and told me to stop taking Amitryptiline as tris can

Biomarkers to Assess Multiple Sclerosis
Some review and maybe something new.
Recent research on fluid biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS) frames an emerging picture of two aspects of the disease: inflammatory activity measured with
neurofilament light chain
(NfL), and disease progression independent of relapses, with promising

Hi all, Feeling somewhat relived that my latest medichecks test shows my TSH has increased since Jan (same dose - 75mcg) from 0.9 - 3.38. T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

ATA Virtual Patient Forum: International Thyroid Awareness Week - Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 8pm - 9:15pm EDT
In case anyone is interested, registration appears to be open - both in they are accepting registrations AND it is open to the public. It would be interesting to find out about how useful it is. The time makes it somewhat awkward for many in the UK. I think it works out to be 01:00 in the morning

Intrinsic Factor result
bit disappointing it didn’t come back positive., but I know they don’t always accurately reflect the underlying condition.It also means my pernicious anaemia could be due to long term use of PPIs rather than autoimmune gastritis. (By the way stopped PPIs in December last year) .

NAFLD 1 year on
What I am doing wrong. Diagnosed with NAFLD a year ago. Changed my diet, lost weight and eat healthier. Had scan last week and still have mild fatty liver. My doctor is of no help and support to me. I’m getting upset and anxious.

Autoimmune condition
Hi everyone. The results from my ANA and ENA came back with a broad diagnosis of connective tissue disease. They've ruled out lupus. This plus the thyroid stuff is going to be fun to deal with 😅. The Coeliac disease test was inconclusive because my GP forgot to advise me to have bread for at least 4

Change in PSA
My PSA has been <.064 for a couple years. This time it was <.05. The test is always done by the same lab. Does this mean anything?
