Problems after catheter ablation
in late 2011 I suspected I may have persistent AF. I had suddenly become fatigued climbing stairs and even got tired during the warm up for a game of tennis.This was confirmed by a consultant and I was started on Warfarin. A cardioversion was performed July 2012, my rhythm returned to normal and I felt

Perhaps Stealing Is Sometimes Good...
The sun has been shining for the entire day...it's still cold though but everything seems so much brighter with blue skies and the sun streaming through the sitting-room windows showing up all the dusty surfaces. Something I used to do when we first came home was to steal away the plaster Madonna's left

Amitriptyline withdrawl update
I thought i would update those interested in my recent post on how i suceeded in coming off amitrptyline. It is now 5 and half weeks without any and feeling much better. I would definately not recommend the cold turkey way i proceeded and I was niave in thinking a small dose of 10 mg would have little

Saw doctor today. All test were clear which is great but he also said I had a negative blood test for ApS.
He looked at my notes and i had a negative test before my son was born but I was still given asprin and fragmin. He repeated the test and will do again in 3 months. If negative again he might take me off warfarin. Im so confused !!! Anyone else had the same thing ? Xx

Is there treatment for monomer exposure?
Some months ago I had a work accident. I inhaled a lot of fumes from material called monomer. I was not given Health and Safety at start of the work and I haven't signed any documents about the harmfulness of the material so I didn't know anything about this particular monomer. I was not given first

Erythema Multiforme, skin sloughing off of inside cheeks and vagina
After being in remission for five years, I was absolutely flabbergasted to find myself in a flare a few months ago. In the past (1999 - 2008) I was never given a confirmed diagnosis of Behcet's because the majority of my skin lesions were erythema mutiforme ( mostly associated with herpes). I did

Question about long haul air travel
I had a dvt in my right leg from behind my knee to my ankle last August. Was on warfarin for 3 months and am doing fine now. Doctor says if I have another dvt will be on anticoagulant for life. Cause of my dvt was a double genetic mutation. I love to travel and especially enjoy cruises, but am nervous

dreadful itching….suggestions?
This used to happen every so often but now it is all the time. My lower legs itch until I want to draw blood scratching them. I don't know how to get relief. I have just stood with the cold shower running over them and then covered them in Lanacane but even that isn't helping these days…..it keeps me

Rivaroxaban v warfarin
Hi. My GP rang me yesterday and wondered if I would be interested in going on to Rivaroxaban. I know this is one of the new drugs but I have been on warfarin for 13 years! She said it would avoid having my INR done and I would not have to worry about testing when we went away. But to be honest that

Two weeks into Pred - then!
As I previously reported my GP started me on15mg on January 2nd which appears to be approximately the correct dose. I am having no issues but will see my doctor tomorrow to see what he has in mind for me. Any little tips on what to ask for my first visit to my doctor would be appreciated? I had meant

Off Warfarin and restarting
Came off warfarin due to having two colonoscopies two weeks apart. I'm on warfarin for afib permanent. I'm taking 75ml of heparin innohep daily to bridge. Going to have another colonoscopy again in two weeks and then restart warfarin again. Consultant said it's pointless going on and off warfarin and
