Doxazosin
I have recently been prescribed Doxazosin to help with hypertension. I was concerned because one of the minor side effects is diarrhoea. I already have chronic diarrhoea due to microscopic colitis.

Thrush but not a bird
I have been given the wrong dose of my inhaler for Asthma. Now have to use two puffs instead of one to obtain the same amount. Will this increase my sore throat and oral thrush burden ? It is something I struggle with. Nothing to be done until Monday. Any advice would be welcome.

Raised Liver Markers - Octasa/ Mesalamine?
I started taking Octasa for Crohns in October 23. Just had blood tests (for another issue) and dr called to say that my liver enzyme markers were raised (ALT 255, AST 99, ALP 239, GT 334.. all substantially above the top end of normal) and they want to do an ultrasound to check my liver. The only difference

Salofalk foam enema - should I feel it?
Thanks in advance if anyone has experience using foam enemas - in particular, Salofalk. I just had colonoscopy and endoscopy 2 days ago after suffering a UC flare up as a result of COVID with intestinal symptoms in November. Was very shocked and disappointed to learn that my ulcerative proctitis has

probiotics stomach upset
Hi, I was interested in trying probiotics, namely Kefir to help restore gut microbiome since the Lanzoprazole destroys them. The dietitian recommended this too, as did my surgeon. I already eat lots of live yoghurt with no problems. However I’ve been getting a lot of wind and diarrhoea since I started

Ct scan with contrast
Just had a ct scan with contrast. It sent my heart into a really erratic state for 1/2 hrs afterwards . Should I take my thyroid s as normal or wait 24 hrs for the stuff to clear out of my system? Any help please.
