End of Life Memories
Thinking back to a year ago I was busy trying to turn an unused room filled with a lifetime of boxes into a habitable, useable bedroom for the arrival of a hospital bed before the hospital would allow mum to come home.

Actemra???
I am in California and was diagnosed with PMR in May of 2021 and, a month later, with GCA. I have reduced to 15 mg of prednisone (several times) and seem to be stuck there. My rheumatologist is suggesting monthly infusions of Actemra so that I can reduce the prednisone. I have read up on this drug (tocilizumab

Recent deterioration
I have an autoimmune liver disease called Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia. This is caused by a primary immune condition called Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I have deteriorated slowly over 10 years and the phrase “ advanced liver disease” was used for the first time in September. A few weeks

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in some cases may actually be alcoholic liver disease (ALD).
Perhaps this information has already been published on the forum. It seemed to me very interesting and worthy of attention. Excess fat in the liver cells can accumulate due to chronic poisoning with some substances - and most often this substance is alcohol. But fatty liver disease is very common in

Drug for post radiation fibrosis
Does anyone know anything about pentoxifylline, used to treat in post-radiation fibrosis, and it's affect in a patient with liver disease? I don't know why I'm even asking. It can't be OK? Pentoxifylline is supposed to increase blood supply and improve fibrosis. Or where to get more information? It

Giving up driving...
Hi I just needed to vent a bit and ask for advice on how to handle something. My husband has decompensated alcohol related liver disease. Cirrhosis, regularly gets new varices banded etc. He has been seen by the QE transplant team but his UKELD score is only 52 so they aren't assessing him yet and

Beta Blockers
An article in yesterday's Sunday Mail stated that Betablockers are not the first choice now for heart problems as research shows they are ineffective; in fact, they haven't been for a while and new patients would not be prescribed them and the preferred drugs are ACE inhibitors. I have been on a betablocker
