LISINOPRIL AND AFIB
Hello all, are there any on this forum taking lisinopril for high blood pressure? I just came across this today and it could explain why I and maybe others have more afib episodes than we should; 1. Caution: High blood pressure/heart disease meds and potassium-rich foods like bananas, potatoes and licorice

New test reliable?
Hello everyone. I hope your Saturday is going well. I spoke with my GP this morning to receive blood test results. She said my liver tests are good, my ALT only 50. She explained they did a fairly new test too, called fibrosis 4, known as fib 4 and that assessed scarring of the liver. It was really low

Gamma GT
I was previously a heavy binge drinker, i had liver function tests which were ok but slightly raised GGT. I stopped drinking completely a couple of months ago and had the blood test again, it has risen rather than going down. i am otherwise very fit, healthy BMI and a good diet. Does anyone know why

Periodontitis (Gum Disease) and the Liver
Last week I enjoyed a very interesting Zoom meeting with a presentation being given by a professor of Periodontology and head of the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham, UK. During the presentation it was stated that once the bacterial infection enters the bloodstream it can find its

Thought of the day - B12 paradox
Like many aspects of life that we're all trying to grapple with, good health comes from a very fine balance. There is no 'one way' to do things, but a sweet spot in the middle. And I believe it's the same with diet, in particular B12. B12 is a regulator of homocysteine. Low B12 is a driver for high

GP visit
I have been to see my GP today to talk about the results letter I received which I told you all about. He said it's f4 fibrosis, not cirrhosis, and it is reversible. I'm going to see a fibro nurse next Tuesday,which has been arranged through my drug worker. I'm going to ask all the same questions. I

when will i feel better?
My dad has been declining since heart attack in September. He has just been prescribed Ramipril. How long do you think it will be before he notices some benefits? We would be grateful to know of others’ experiences with ACE inhibitors

Partner out of hospital
Thank you to all the replies I've had on previous posts about my partner. He is now out of hospital but on an awful lot of medication including steroids and tablets that suppress alcohol cravings. He has been diagnosed with Alcoholic Hepatitis for the second time in 2 years. I asked the consultant

Actemra
Actemra shots, specifically the Epi-Pen....still having problems injecting...have to push hard until I feel needle pierce skin....this morning I felt medicine drip down my leg, but some went in because I had blood and a pin hole in my leg. Don't know if i should do another or just wait until next week

A cross in the sand
Does anyone else find this explanation helpful -- ? Imagine yourself sitting on the beach and you draw a cross in the sand like an 'x'. The first stroke represents your dopamine deficiency and the second stroke you draw several times as it represents an overactive adrenal response subsequent to the HABIT

Cataract surgery imminent
I have cataract surgery scheduled for next Wednesday 1st February for both eyes. It is being done privately at a hospital nearby and the opthalmic surgeon is very experienced and has a very good reputation. I have GCA and am currently taking 35 mg of prednisolone daily. The surgeon knows this and does

Drs refusing to admit there’s any need for further B12 injections. So had my loading doses in October and I’m “wishing the reference ranges” Had another telephone conversation with a different doctor and she was reading from the same script. “Take supplements until October then we’ll retest” They

Liver Disease Reversal
Seen in the Daily Mail today British designed dialysis machine can be used on liver patients and appears to reverse the disease doing away with the need for a transplant. It should be available in three years. There isn’t too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful

A week since my first cataract op.
Hello All, Not been on line a lot as not long had one cataract sorted. Next one due at the end of January. Was asked to stop apixaban 3 days before with no problems. All quite easy and no problems - apart from my wanting to rub my eyes when tired - which is quite often. Wife doing all the drops and

BEWHARE OF THESE MEDS
I have a prolapsed bladder and am using a pessary. My OBGYN felt I should use an insert to help strengthen my vagina walls. She prescribed Intrarosa 3x a week. I believe in Homeopathy and at 91 only take a mild blood pressure pill. She assured me that since this is topical there was no need to worry

I have recently been prescribed the above medication to reduce my ocular pressure due to complications during cataract surgery. My muscles have ached so much that I am glad to say I will be taking my last tablet in an hour. It did say in the patient leaflet that this could happen but fortunately none
