Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Discomfort
Hi all. I'm getting discomfort in my upper abdomen. It's not pain exactly but it's uncomfortable. It's like IBS, which I suffer with, but can't take peppermint oil anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? It's not bloated like I had when I was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Apart from this

Blood Pressure Tablets vs Glaucoma
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with taking blood pressure tablets after being diagnosed with Glaucoma? I have moderate glaucoma in my right eye, have had a couple of surgeries (Preserflo) and have recently been diagnosed with slightly high blood pressure. I saw the Physician Associate today

Good chilly May morning 🥶
Good morning with windchill it’s 22 degrees in Pocatello Idaho that’s at least 20 degrees below average. I’m still toughening it out in my shorts 🩳 it is supposed to warm up this week 🤞🏼. Rozy is doing better pretty much healed up from surgery and ear infection 😊 I’m just about over my cold/crud

Appointment Update
Hello. Following my recent post about my dry eyes, I had my follow-up appointment on Monday nearly 4 months post right trabeculectomy & it did not go well. Had a visual field test and eye scan. No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision. The pressure was elevated even

PA and Sjogren’s
I posted a few days ago about dry mouth and eyes, but since then my early sjogrens bloodwork has come back positive. I am terrified! Is there anyone else who has AIG/PA and also sjogrens? I feel desperately in need of some hope and guidance…in particular I’m wondering if injections have helped with SS

Eliquis for Antiphospholipid syndrome?
I had a pulmonary embolism and was prescribed Eliquis 5 mg 2xday. Does anyone else take Eliquis for pulmonary embolism? Are you experiencing any side effects?

Hi all I’m new to this group. I was diagnosed 18 months ago with tinnitus after I went the to my local Boots for hearing test and they said I had a 60% loss in my left ear, I was rather surprised. I was referred to audiologist given a hearing aid and that was that. Had two sessions of tinnitus therapy

apixiban and tumeric
I stopped taking tumeric and related supplements when I started taking apixiban on advice of Anti-Coagulation clinic. As a result of stopping tumeric, i got really bad joint pains over past four years. Is there really a possibility that I can actually take tumeric while taking apixiban? I do

Another experience proving we are all different
I had mentioned in a couple of my answers to posts in the group that I had been episode free for over a year, and suddenly I had two back to back episodes of AF. i didn’t remember doing anything different and in fact did not have any alcohol that day or for several days so not drinking anything can

Work on healing balance
My balance is no longer a major issue. I am working on improving it. I do work on my core. I consider my balance issues to be a neurological issue. I balance on both feet or one foot and focus on one point. Then I move my eyes back and forth in focus and same up and down. I also move my head to change

Urinary Issues
I have had urinary issues for a long time. Urgency, frequency, retention, pain. No "incontinence" if i can get to a toilet or get the dick out to pee on the ground fast enough. Every day is a different combination of the above and I have never been able to figure out what causes each symptom or how

Mortar and Pestle time - Ginkgo update
I was startled to wake up the other day and my mild tinnitus wasn't there. In the eleven months since I've had it, that hasn't happened before. I was left 'feeling alone' if you can imagine that. A brief recap. I've had limited success with Ginkgo and when the lower dose tablet became unavailable I

hi All, I wish I could cheer you up but unfortunately this is not a particularly happy post. I recently started suffering from pulsatile, tonal tinnitus , aural fullness and sound distortion in very quick succession. While the hearing test doesn’t show much change from previous ones, I am sure there

dry eyes and mouth?
hi again all! I am very depleted in ferritin and am awaiting an infusion. I also started b12 injections 3 months ago for PA but I don’t think they’ve been often enough (1x/month). Also just got diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos (thyroid levels are still normal). I’m grasping at straws trying to
