Annual Flu Jab/Shot
Today, I received my 2020annual influenza immunization. I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept. 2013. Currently I use 7 mg. Prednisone. I have had an annual flu shot every year since being diagnosed with PMR.. No negative effects or problems as a result. On this Forum, every year there are several questions

Ace inhibitors versus arbs
I am new to the forum. I have taken blood pressure medication for a number of years: 25mg Atenolol; 2.5mg Ramipril and as these didn't control BP, bendroflumathiazide was added. With the medication BP was around 145/75. My GP stopped bendroflumothiazide last year. Ramipril was increased, but BP

Worried about AST/ALT ratio
Hi all. This is my first post. I’m a 38 year old female from the United States currently going through a stressful divorce. Unfortunately for the last year to year and a half I've turned to alcohol as a crutch. Drinking very heavily the last year. Near daily with few breaks and waaaay too much each day.I

Ggt not reducing after quitting alcohol
Hi, I have raised ggt levels. Was originally 280. I was a heavy drinker for years, bottle of wine around 4 days out of 7 but also lots of days off. After 3 months of not drinking my ggt reduces to 146 and after a further 6 months of not drinking it’s still at 147. Is it normal for it to stop decreasing

Symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy
Hello, I was wondering if people diagnosed with cirrhosis would kindly advise what their symptoms of HE were/are, in particular in relation to medication they have been prescribed. I’m taking long term medication, and now get a fuzzy head ( like elastic bands) and concerned this is a form of HE. not

Fatty liver or more?
Hi! In august i had a blood check up and my liver enzymes were tripled. Docter wanted me to come back in a month. So in september did a new check, and still too high. Got an ultrasound to check it and the result gave Fatty Liver. I am now doubting if it might be more serious and the Ultrasound didnt

Users of blood pressure medicine have a lower risk of dying from influenza and pneumonia.
Drugs to lower blood pressure of the type ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers reduce the mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia. This is the main conclusion of a new reassuring study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, which Christian Fynbo Christiansen and

Timing of various medications? What do most of you do?
I've just read a 2013 article in AARP's "The Daily" regarding when to take various medications (https://www.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-12-2013/timing-of-daily-medications). Cancer drugs are not mentioned except to suggest that certain cancer cells may be more vulnerable when other cells

Post Cataract treatment
I enjoyed deteriorating cataracts courtesy of Prednisolone and had both cataracts done three years ago. The results were life changing and I had new lenses that didn’t need me to wear glasses. However, I noticed my vision deteriorating and when I was in Florida had problems with my sun glasses. I came

Bisoprolol Fumarate or Nebivolol to avoid ED
Nebivolol / Bisoprolol Fumarate. I’ve been on 5mg Bisoprolol Fumarate during the last 5 years or so. I started experiencing weak erections. I didn’t payed attention at the beginning as I thought it was due to daily working stress and any other regular effect from the life routine but the problem grew

Tyramine, MAO A and MAO B has any one tried a tyramine reduced diet?
I was reading up on MAO inhibitors as the question was asked which is best, an MAO inhibitor or C/L. My husband has had a genetic test and his results say he has lower expression of MAO A and B so I imagine inhibiting it further is probably not a good thing. But reading this it looks like reducing
