What should I expect
Hi I have my first
vascular
surgery
clinic appointment tomorrow. Can anyone advise on what to expect. Also any questions I should ask. I had an echocardiogram and it showed some dilation of the aorta. TIA 😊

New Diagnosis
I have two appointments coming up one in March at
vascular
surgery
clinic and in April at cardiology clinic. I have to say that I am not as devastated as when I got my son's diagnosed.

Palliative care, does it still exist?
Meanwhile the nurse in
vascular
surgery
has got me Farrow wraps for my legs and I'm injecting myself daily for my bones. All this is going well but nothing from the palliative care team. I was hoping someone would contact me as I could do with some advice.

Trigeminal Neuralgia pain
Surgery has been suggested as an option but this is a big thing to think about as it's classed as brain
surgery
Has anyone has successful Mirco-

decompression (MVD )
surgery
? I am just trying to get as much information as I can before I make a decision about the surgery

Octave Blood test
I just had
vascular
bypass
surgery
in my right leg. What should have been 3 days max in the hospital turned into 6 days plus 2 weeks at a rehab facility. Just had my 2 month follow up.

Why is my RO changing from Degerelix to Lupron after a month?
my husband started ADT treatment and RO informed him that after a month he will switch to Lupron. Is there a reason why he is doing this? As Lupron I read causes depression, anxiety. And if hopefully Degerelix works why change it? Can we request he not ? TIA.

infusion
Hi, I am currently on 40mg of Adalimumab every 2 weeks but it is not working, the hospital have decided that an infusion of Rituximab is the next step, has anybody else had this treatment and did it work?

Recent PSP diagnosis
Hello everyone. My dad is 75 and for the last 4 years we have been on the understanding that he had gait apraxia. We saw a neurologist today who had been through his history over those years and has now diagnosed PSP-PAGF. I'm scared for him and what the future holds, not just for him, but for us as

Cialis blues
Severe muscle cramps nighttime in my legs have recently been wrecking my sleep. After reading up, I discovered that pain in legs can be a side effect of tadalafil/ cialis. After quitting, the cramps rapidly receeded and after less than a week no longer appear. I had been taking 5 mg daily for 4-6 months

Hydroxicarbamide for PV - UK
Diagnosed late 2018 soon after started on Hydroxycarbamide + Rivaroxyban 10mg daily. In the last year, Hydroxycarbamide has been increased slowly every few months. I am now taking 2000mg 4 days a week and 1500mg on 3 days a week because my platelet score is 640. I am feeling really poorly on this

Lupron - start with one month dose or 3 months ?
Dad , 83 , is to start with lupron soon. He has been on bicalutamide since two weeks. He is in good health generally and has not had heart issues apart from hypertension since many years , controlled by medicine. Doctor has advised 3 monthly lupron injections. But I was wondering if it would

Is it harmful to take Vitamin D & not Vitamin K?
I read that taking vitamin D while not supplementing with vitamin K also can be dangerous as it can lead to calcification of the arteries. I am on warfarin and have been told that I really need to up my Vitamin D, but what do I do about vitamin K?

Blood thinning jab that won’t cause internal bleeding
In the Health section of the Mail last November I read about a new injection Abelacimab which in a head to head trial caused 81% fewer major bleeding incidents.Warfarin is known to be a risk for bleeding in 16% of patients. I no longer attend a clinic, it was always Rheumatology, but I guess I was deemed

Pradaxa (dabigatran)
I have just started with my afib journey (trek?). My GP told me that my best blood-thinner choices were Coumadin, Xarelto, and Eliquis. I did my research, and, right or wrong, I chose Eliquis, even knowing its expense. (I have no insurance, thus I paid a lot of money to buy my first bottle of pills

Anticoagulants stopped by new consultant
I'll try to be as brief as possible! January 2019 I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in both lungs and also AF and flutter. After various unsuccessful attempts to correct heart I had a catheter ablation June 2019 . Responded well and put on Bisoprolol and anticoagulants which I was told would

Cholesterol and CLL
Hoping for some information from the wise ones here - back in January my GP said she wanted to start me on a statin as my cholesterol was high. I said I preferred to try to bring it down myself rather than with medication (and my intent here is not to start a debate on statins - I just prefer a natural

flecainide versus amiodorone
I had a successful cardioversion using flecainide before and after that lasted 2 years but now AF has returned- I will have another cardioversion but because of my age ( 80) the hospital want me to use amiodorone instead - I wasn’t happy with this suggestion due to the toxic side effects of amiodorone
