Cirrhosis as a result of Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) - does anyone have any experience of this?
Hi Everyone, I was recently diagnosed with "early stage cirrhosis secondary to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" and today I had an endoscopy which showed several (non-bleeding) varices. I was chatting to my brother this afternoon about my diagnosis and tests and he just happened to say "do you remember

PALLIATIVE CARE
Feeling very naked and exposed, Peeps has spent most of September in the Liver Unit at London Bridge Hospital but has finally been sent home to die. There is nothing more that can medically be done. He is now subject to Palliative Care at home with the help of the GP, District and Hospice Nurses but

Getting off Lasix aka Furosemide
I am trying to wein myself off all my tablets constantly, over what period were you able to come off Furosemide and how did you do it? I am starting to think miss a day when i wake up with the correct weight? I tried to reduce my dosage daily, but I think its better to skip the odd day here and there

Eplerenone
I'm thinking of asking my GP to prescribe me eplerenone for my hypertension. I have read the one or two reports about Spironolactone v Eplerenone. Eplerenone seems to have better outcomes, less sie effects though expensive.

CBT has been a godsend.
I have been going to therapy now for a few months and because of that I have not been on here much. I feel different. The world looks brighter (and it’s not because of the random cataract surgery I had in June 😅). CBT has literally changed how I view the world. I still have my struggles but I am

Trying to understand the factors behind recurrence of Diabetic Macular Oedema
Have been having Lucentis injections for 3 to 4 years. Reached a point a couple of years ago where where it seemed to have cleared up in both eyes so I went to 6 months between visits. In the meantime at my annual diabetes review at GP Surgery the Nurse stated that my diabetes control had improved

Eyes post cataract surgery.
I visited the hospital yesterday and was surprised at the interest in my steroids that the opthamologist displayed. Can anyone enlighten me on how much steroids are still affecting the eyes after cataract surgery?

Blood test markers for NAFL?
Hi just a quick question please if anyone knows:- A few years ago a scan revealed I have non alcoholic fatty liver - probably as a result of visceral fat because I did carry some extra weight around my middle. Since then I have taken vitamin E and also lost weight on the low carb/keto diet so short of

Kidneys feel a little sore, or is it lower back?
Hello I'm 2 years post transplant and over the last 5 or 6 days, when I wake up I've had a dull ache towards the right hand side of my lower back. I went to see my GP yesterday and she had a little feel around and she seems to think it's muscle related but I asked for a blood test form and got that

Is This a Spider Nevi?
Is this a spider nevi near my collarbone? I’ve had one removed from near my eye and another on my ear 5 months ago and the dermatologist didn’t seem concerned and said my other Telangiectasias on my face are probably due to genetics and sun. I’m worried I might have an underlying liver disease that is

Well not the type, sipping on the beach on a tropical island. After viewing a program, that common meds like Ibuprofen when mixed with ACE inhibitors (Ramipril) and beta blockers (Bisoprolol) causes dangerous side effects. This stirred my curiosity, being a recent heart patient (stemi). I usually talk

Fibroscan, AST/ALT ratio, and such part II
I apologize for the long post in advance... If you haven't read my previous post I've been a very heavy drinker for 12 years. I've been through withdraw, I've lost relationships, and just overall made some stupid decisions. I'm blessed in that I've managed to hold a great job and marry my beautiful wife
