    My ( very limited ) understanding of this makes me wonder if the damage at T11 and T 12 is from the osteoporosis and the damage from L2 through S1 is from the osteoarthritis,, This is a conversation I will have with my PC .Something tells me it will be a long conversation , The Pain Management Clinic I am going to does acupuncture and I am hoping it is...

    I have not seen my PC yet ,, I see him the middle of March. My ortho read the report said the disc herniation is mild and not currently needing surgery . and asked if I would go to see a back surgeon about the herniated dics ( for a second opinion) , I said no it would be a waste of time since I will not currently consider surgery . I was sent to the...

    I am in the US Any doctor can order the test ,,, but chances are a GP is not going to ,nor will they know the correct test to order. TG AB & TPO AB are the testing for thyroid autoantibodies that my endocrinologist did when she diagnosed my hashmotos . Mine were so high it made my ANA come back with a moderate positive .

    I got a copy of the MRI report in the mail today While the DEXA scan results are not that bad , my MRI report is BAD. I need to decide which of the osteoporosis meds I am willing to take.

    Most medications use corn/corn starch . To totally eliminate corn is nearly imposable but doable if you are extremely strict .When I eliminated corn I did not eliminate my medications and was lucky enough that I did not have to . Bartfull is correct that soy is one of the big 8 allergens so listed on packaging EXCEPT soy oil . There is a loophole in...

    My ( limited ) understanding of lichen sclerosus is autoimmune with a possible connection to thyroid disease where as Dermatitis Herpetiformis ( DH) is an autoimmune disease associated with celiac disease . It would be possible to have both lichen sclerosus and dermatitis herpetifomis at the same time And yes it is very possible to have DH ( celics...

    antibodies can stay active under the skin for up to 2 years after going gluten free , this is why the slightest bit of cross contamination can cause a flair in DH. The trickiest part of getting a diagnosis by skin biopsy is finding a dermatologist that has even a clue about DH. A diagnosis of DH is a diagnosis of Celiacs I would suggest thoroughly...

    gilligan, I have been told basically the same thing ,, I honestly dont know what I am going to do . I am considering the daily dose instead of the 6 month shot. If I react to something I would rather it was out of my body in a day or so not 6 months

    I have Hashimotos .I have been on thryoid meds for about the last 20 + years. I have been on name brand Synthroid since 2002 with no problems .I cannot take the generic ( I bounce around like a rubber ball ) it has to be name brand
