Thank you both for your caring words, I have got a lot of support at home although I am trying to be strong and not let on the amount of pain I am in, I don't want everyone else to feel as bad as I do. My son is wonderful (hard work though) and my husband is also a star! I am going to continue gluten free as I've noticed some major relief in my symptoms....

Yes navigator, I'm sure you're right regarding postcode lottery! I just don't know where to go from here, just been left high n dry1 no support from anyone in the nhs. As far as they're concerned the case is closed for me. I can't believe that all my out of range or borderline thyroid, adrenal, antinuclear, IgA, ferritin, estrogen, pituitary, prolactin, LH...

I can't even express how angry I am after seeing this immunologist! I really am at breaking point with doctors! Cab anyone figure out these recent blood results for me please? IgG- 11.94 (6.0-16.0) IgA- 3.4 (0.8-2.8) IgM - 1.05 (0.5-1.9) ANA Anti nuclear Antibody- Hep 2 Positive homogeneous I went to see this immunologist thinking that my endo might...

I do think the NHS can be wonderful and I truely believe this country would be worse off without it, but my personal experience recently has been far from good. Scotland seems to be getting it right though don't they as does Wales! England (where I am) seems not so together. I don't mean to sound ungrateful in my posts when I've had a pop at the NHS but my...

Thanks for that its a great help I will mention it to him tomorrow and post my results on here. Thanks again x

Hi diandliam, yes my name is Katie! Thanks for your reply. The heat bump type rash is always on my feet, knuckles, knees, elbows and chest. This recent skin issue between my fingers does look like a contact dermatitis type rash but I have not been in contact with any irritants that I know of. The cracking on my finger tips is getting worse now and I also...

Thank you all so much for your replies. I'll try to answer some of your questions! The rash that I get tends to be like heat rash nothing seems to ease it then all of a sudden it goes for months! recently however I have started to get all sorts of skin issues, I have like a dermatitis type rash in between my fingers and cracks on the tips of my fingers which...

Thanks for that skylark. I really struggling to get copies of the results as the dr secretary says she wont release them before the dr has spoken to me which will be in a months time due to NHS waiting lists grrrr! I am due to see an immunologist on thursday and he should be able to access the results for me. Do you know whether an immunologist would be the...

Thanks for your reply captaincrab! What is a stress test? I am seeing an immunologist on thursday but again with it being the NHS have no clue as to what expect from the consultation. I eat out today for the first time since going gluten free and chose a jacket potato with cheese and a coffee, withim 10 minutes my hands were tingling and went red and blotchy...

Thank you so much for replying! Yes this is my first time trying gluten free. Its been very strange to say the least, I've been in so much pain for so long its strange to feel movements in my abdomen without the burning type pain. The most major improvement has been my joints, its shocking how after only two days off gluten I woke up and my joints felt lovely...

Hi all! Before I start I'll just say what a great supportive site this is! I'll try and make my history as short as I can but as I'm sure you've all experienced I've been ill for a long time with no conclusive diagnosis! I basically want to know what you all think about my medical history and whether you think I may be celiac. Stomach, bowel pains...

Thanks for your post ravenwoodglass. I have not seen my consultant yet just had the results told over the phone by a nurse who had no clue what they meant just that the IGA was out of the reference range- 3.8 (0.8-2.8)Do you know whether this is a positive result for celiac? I didn't even know he was doing these tests, he just said he was going to test...

Thanks for your post guys, I don't like to think that others are going through what I am but its comforting to know that there are people to share this stuff with. I'm in the UK and the NHS seems to be falling apart at the moment, its been a nightmare trying to get to see specialists and get tests performed! I even decided to go private which has drained...
