BBC News Story, 'My mum was an alcoholic and it was a massive secret'
While I fully understand that this site isn’t an alcohol forum, alcohol has had an impact upon so many peoples lives, and this site is about support and hopefully raising awareness with others. So please forgive me as this post isn’t directly liver-related. What is often forgotten is the impact alcohol-abuse

So happy I found this place! It is a treasure trove of information. I am an 83-year-old woman from California with macular degeneration. It has been very slowly progressing for about 10 years, but recently one eye progressed to the wet form. I have had two Avastin injections and am due for a third next

My fasting Blood sugar test was repeated and found to be 77mg/dL
In continuation to my previous three posts ( which you must read ), I am pleased to post my fasting blood sugar readings. The screen also shows my vitamin B12 & vitamin D level . My sufficient D level in my blood seems to have protected me from Covid19 so far 🙏with all blessings from "SUN GOD" , though

Anyone only taking Actemra
I’ve been on Actemra injections over 3 seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I really am against using Prednisone

Red vomit - Esophageal Varices?
I'm gonna keep this as brief as possible. So, at the moment I have a lot of concerns about liver disease/cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse. I haven't drunk anything in 10 days, but decided to have a couple of light beers last night. It made me feel really bloated and gassy, so I made myself sick. The

Will I ever be off pred with GCA?
Quick question. I have been told by my rheumatologist , that I will be on Actemra and 5mg pred for the rest of my life. I visited an eye doc for some problems with my eyes, and he was very surprised to find out I was still on prednisone after 2 years of my diagnosis. I know things are different over

Private fibroscan in East midlands
Hello my first post here. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver by ultrasound and have symptoms that could be related but my GP doesn't want to look into it as my liver function test is almost normal. I was wondering if there are any private fibroscan services in Lincolnshire or nearby?

Anyone had cataract surgery while taking Flomax?
In addition to my ADT meds for my APC, I am taking tamsulosin (Flomax) for BPH. I have scheduled cataract surgery for January but have learned there may be adverse effects because of the Flomax. Have any of you had the surgery and with what results? I will speak to my opthamologist in early January

Itching and Advanced Liver Disease/Anyone without advanced liver disease?
I keep reading itching is one of the signs of advanced liver disease, how is that possible when people with just a fatty liver with mild fibrosis have itching and some without fibrosis have itching. Anyone with itching without advanced liver disease?

Cataract surgery
I am having cataract surgery in a couple of weeks and then again for the other eye two weeks after that. I've needed to schedule this for a year but have had so many appts and have been so tired I didn't see an opthamologist until two days ago. I was really surprised that I got appts so quickly....

Try and remain calm and positive
I work in the field of mental health and have a lot of client and personal experience in anxiety especially. A mentor once said to me ask this question when you are worrying. ' Is it of any use?' The answer of course is always 'No'. Worrying about something does not change it, and yes I do realise we

Scaring myself silly and pretty ashamed too.
I’ve been lurking on here not posting for a long time. I have a really toxic relationship with alcohol and while I found I have always managed to get it under control, this year has seen my drinking spiral. Over the past nearly 9 months I’ve drank around 2 bottles of wine a day, sometimes less, sometimes

Blue toe syndrome
Re Blue Toe Syndrome. I have been on Apixaban for 4 years now and only had 2 bouts of AF , fingers crossed. I have however had a terrible week, 2 of my toes have gone blue with a small plaque breaking off and blocking the blood supply. The pain is agonising. There is some thought it could be related

Actemra fatigue
I’ve been giving myself my Actemra injection every Monday morning at 7:00 am. By 10:00 I feel like a freight train has hit me- not sick just really tired. I’m thinking maybe I should inject at night. Anyone else feel like this? Is it alright to inject at night?
