Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Feeling despondent - cataract surgery after trab
My partner developed steroid-induced glaucoma (another and long story) in his left eye and had trab surgery last December. He also developed a cataract while on this journey. Last Friday he had cataract surgery. The next day he could read the eye chart after having very little vision in that eye all

Peripapillary CNV
After 18 months without an Eylea injection, I was given an appointment for treatment. The OCT showed a leak further out from the fovea than the one I had had before, which itself was some way from the fovea. I had a second OCT (which I've not seen) taken of the optic disc. In a letter that came after

Holistic ways to manage PMR
Hello, I have been recently diagnosed with PMR, which I have been suffering from since I had Covid last December. After my second vaccine my symptoms seemed to settle down until I had an upper respiratory virus in July and the inflammation just took over. I was finally put on prednisone by my GP the

Are actemra injection weekly with prednisone have better control of GCA, compare with prednisone alone in treatment of GCA ?

PEX glaucoma and cataract surgery
I have pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and bilateral cataracts. The ophthalmologist has referred me for cataract surgery in one eye. The other, she says, does not need it yet - her opinion not mine. Slight smile from me. Ophthalmologist fully explained all the possible complications and the fact that it

Hi there, a little follow up from my last post, si my bloods came back normal and the receptionist said my Dr didn't want any follow up after my us scan so she said it's probably normal , should I book an appointment with the Dr to discuss this? I'm also on Spironolactone tablets for fluid in my stomach

Adrenaline from starting too low/ slow with cortex?
Hi, I started the nutrimeds adrenal cortex plus. I took ~1/4 capsule (so ~25mg cortex) in juice sipped on over 4h (waking, ~8am to 12pm). I am usually hypersensitive to supplements, which is why I wanted to start low and slow. My low back soreness has increased and I feel wired/ increased adrenaline

Black spots upon waking
Hi.. I have this problem also. It started around 6 months ago. Woke up one morning to see 2 black dots upon the white wall which disappeared when blinking. I contacted my gp and have had 2 eye tests including dilated pupil and both say eye health is good. I am now suffering with sleep and hallucinations

My partner's story
Hello to everyone, I've been a silent member of this group for a few weeks and I have found your posts really helpful. I have decided that now is the time to share with you the story so far with my partner and his diagnosis of alcohol related liver disease. He's 43 years old and he's been a daily drinker

Poor Circulation- does anyone else have this issue?
I have been having issues with the circulation to my hands and feet for a couple of years’ now. I only see my feet before I get dressed in the morning and after I undress in the evening but at those times they always look a very unhealthy shade of purple. My hands vary throughout the day and sometimes

Feeling a bit sad and down
I'm having one of those moments when I'd love to reach out and say I'm feeling a bit low - but reality is I don't know who to ring/don't like to bother folks/my husband hates fuss!!! Today he came home from work at 1, having only gone in at 10, he's fast asleep on the sofa again. I know we are lucky

Cataract surgery mistake
I have had PMR since October of 2019. I was down to 6mgs. of methyprednisolone when my cataract was getting to the point that I couldn’t drive any longer, because the vision in my other eye is 20/200 and cannot be corrected, so I had cataract surgery two days ago. I woke up this morning to not being
