blood test for vitamin deficiencies? what’s important to check

rheumatologist appointment finally set for monday to hopefully get diagnosis. what should i ask and expect?

please help :( i have so much cellulite and fat accumulation on my thighs now. i’m going to discontinue spironolactone. will i be stuck like that this forever

Spironolactone- anyone else have hormonal issues on it? Weight gain?

did you gain weight on spironolactone?

after reading about all the side effects i am very scared to start… i feel like all i see are reasons not to!!

My 4 Month Rogaine Experience! (23f - more in comments)

Raynaud's disease? Any takers?

NIFEdipine starting tomorrow. anyone have any success?

why do the toes become so extremely painful and swollen too? 😭 was given steroid cream because she doesn’t want to prescribe oral ones until i see rheumatologist at the end of the month

raynauds with chilblains? help 😩

confused- TSH was 5.1 so was started on 25mcg of levothyroxine and now TSH is 9.8?! t4 and t3 in normal range

can you get positive ana from just hypo thyroid alone or is there more going on?

anyone have any success with vitamin IV drips during a flare?

help

at so much garbage over xmas and xmas eve. so inflamed i feel like i’m going to burst 😩

swollen inflamed red toes after eating unhealthy or drinking alcohol?

i have raynouds but hate when my feet or hands feel hot, i’d rather them feel cold. anyone else?

does anyone else get extremely red and swollen toes after eating inflammatory foods and drinking? not sure if this would be lupus related or more hypo thyroid (i’m suspected to have lupus and am positive for hypo thyroid)

positive ana, joint pain, fatigue/achy, raynauds. is this likely lupus or could this just all be from hypothyroid?

where to start?

Forgot to take levothyroxine for 4 days, lost 7 pounds? So levothyroxine = weight gain? Is this empirically supported?
