    Thanks Bartie. Your message literally made me cry. Thank you for being positive for me. I really thought I prepared myself for anything until today. I was just concentrating on looking up anti-inflammatory foods. Dealing with different doctors in different countries, insurance, etc., took a toll on me. This doctor that I got to see today last time told me...

    Thank you Kareng and Cyclinglady. Also, thank you for the ideas Cyclinglady. Sorry I was not clear. I was freaking out. I noticed there are a few amazing people on this forum who also have lupus and they are able to live their lives. I though I was prepared even if that ends up being diagnosis. However, after reading about chest and especially heart...

    Hi, Some of you probably have noticed my posts inquiring about different things. I am still waiting for my results for Lupus and RA but I really need advice and support. For a week, I have unexplained horrible chest pain. Like something heavy pressing on my chest and sometimes difficult to take deep breaths. When I eat, I get pain and what it seems...

    Hey, I have been taking Solgar's. I recommend them because it states on the bottle that there are gluten, wheat and dairy free. I found it on Amazon for you. Check it out: Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks Colleen. I did not even know about this. I am trying (not doing very well) to be positive but I am so scared of the unknown. So, I really appreciate having you guys on here to hear me out.

    Fiveoaks, it sucks being diagnosed but you will do everything you can to adopt to this lifestyle. I am sorry that you have to go through this as well but it is better that you know now. While it must be difficult to also know that your husband has diabetes, you two have each other to support and lean on. If anyone will be able to understand what you are...

    Hi, I really do not have a medical advice to offer. However, since your husband cannot go to a doctor now and he does have to eat, concentrate on plain food. Since he can handle rice, just plain rice (unsalted) might help him. They usually give it to patients after surgeries, I think. Also, I might sound silly since I already told someone else to eat bananas...

    Thanks Maddi.

    Hey, Earlier this month, the mri of my neck revealed enlarged lymph nodes on both sides of my neck and one lymph node in my armpit area. Previous ultrasound of neck did not show anything. I got an MRI done because I insisted to check my neck thinking it would show atlas, c1,c2 thinking any problems with those would explain my headaches. I did not know...

    Hi Maddi, I am confident that you will figure it out! I really hope that you will start gaining weight soon. It may sound silly but if you like bananas, make sure to eat them daily, at least one a day. I read some article about a doctor who in the early 1920s prescribed it to some kids for stomach problems, which turned out to be most likely celiac (based...

    Hi Maddi, I had a bunch of weird neurological symptoms that made me worry about MS. I had random muscle twitches all over the body but I was freaking out especially when I felt them on my face and lip. I think I even somehow messed up one of my facial nerves ( can recover without any treatment but it can take up to 2-3 months) where I felt that the muscle...

    I do not know anything about the issue you are having but it is great that your blood work improved so much so quickly!!! Hope you figure out this other issue soon. Good luck!

    Thanks LauraTX. I decided not to go but just pay attention to it. These days, I take photos of everything that is questionable for me in case something similar shows up but also so I can show it to doctors if they do not believe me. I read that was helpful somewhere on this forum. I blame myself for not paying a closer attention to my body before so...

    Hi MommaBear, sorry that you are feeling this way. I really do not know nearly as much as some people on here and I am sure that they will give you a great advice. Inability to loose weight, vitamin D deficiency, feeling tired could be connected with thyroid. If I am not mistaken people with Hashimoto may feel this way. Look it up and see if your symptoms...

    Hi, unfortunately, I have to keep asking you questions. I hope you do not mind. A few minutes ago, I accidentally touched the back of my t-shirt and I felt something underneath it. I looked at it and it looked like a bigger pimple on my back. I have never had acne or any rashes on my back before so I am not sure if it is possibly a bug bite or a sebaceous...

    Thanks Christina! The ultrasound originally did not show anything. I wanted to do an MRI of my neck, thinking it would show atlas, c1,c2 to see if that was causing my headaches. Did not know and the doctor did not tell me that is completely a different MRI. The MRI I had showed these lymph nodes and I was told by the doctor who looked at my MRI to go...

    Hi Cyclinglady, I have been tested for thyroid but someone suggested making sure that I also have FT3 and FT4 (I think) tested to make it more accurate. So, I am planning on getting it done. My eye pain is just like you described it, with the muscles around it hurting. Would an MRI of my neck show my thyroid and whether it is ok? I hope this is not...

    Hi Raven, yes, I have done it a couple of times. I think it is called a tear test or something like that because they use tear test strips to see how many tears you produce and I was producing plenty. I honestly saw 2 doctors at one hospital. They gave me some corticosteroids eye drops telling me that if they worked I would know it is related to the...

    Yes, I have been to three ophthalmologists. The last appointment was in August, at that time my left eye was not tearing or hurting, but he said that he can see chronic inflammation and he kept saying how weird all this seemed to him. The only reason why i went to see him then is because I mentioned to the neurologist that i sometimes have this eye pain so...

    Hi all, once again I need some help. Since September/October of last year, I have had (on and off), what appeared to be an eye infection in my left eye. It was constantly tearing and at some point it would start hurting. I went to see different doctors multiple times, just kept giving me eye drops and saying that it makes no sense and it is possibly connected...

    Thanks Bartie and Raven! I looked up my B12 again and it said: B12-Cobalamin: 347 (normal range being 211-911). I was tested on August 3rd. My other test from April 2015: B12.S.P.-195 (normal range 141-489). I really do not get why the doctor that diagnosed me would not tell me to take any supplements. I should have immediately started taking...

    Awesome news and thank you for sharing the recipe with us (plus clarifying gluten-free brands for me).
  23. LookingforAnswers15
    Hi Bartfull, I will. Thanks! I just need to find gluten-free raisins first =). Since I have been diagnosed, I only occasionally drink wine. This may sound as a very dumb question but is there a particular brand of gin to look for or they are all gluten-free?

    Hi, nvsmom- I agree with you! It is easier for doctors to assume that we are just unhappy than to actually look at us. When you tell them that you have no reason to be unhappy (yeah, I have this disease but I accepted it and don't even think about all the food that I cannot eat). Not once have I cheated since I have been diagnosed.Then their answer is: well...

    Hi all, First of all, Celiacandme and Nvsmom, I am sorry for not responding sooner. Celiacandme: it has been awhile since you posted and I actually wrote you a long message and instead of posting it immediately, I got distracted and wanted to look up something and instead accidentally closed the window. I was so mad at myself. Since then I have dealt...
