GCA and Actemra.
Hello all, I have been on Actemra (tocilizumab) for GCA for 1 yr 9 months. I was on the drug trial. For me it has been marvellous and I started at one injection per week, self injecting and am just starting one every 4 weeks. This first four week one meant that right on the last day of the four weeks

Spironolactone - Sore Nipples
About 5 weeks ago I was prescribed Spironolactone to help with my Edema, it worked very well but I now have extremely tender nipples that seem to have a solid mass behind them. Has anyone else had this reaction? Did stopping the Spironolactone solve it?

Spironolactone withdrawal?
Hi all, I was stage 4 cirrhosis with ascites, and took the diuretic spiro for over 12 months, which (along with alcohol abstinence) got me to re-compensated stage 2 with no ascites. Since then I have tapered the spiro, and 2 weeks ago quit completely. So far, thankfully I have not had any rebound gaining

Eyes after cataract surgery
In 2014 I had both my eyes operated on for cataracts. Yesterday when I visited my Optometrist he announced that one of my lenses is developing what he described as like a frost on it and said it will eventually need lasering. Is this a result of taking predisolone? Can anyone enlighten me as to what

Some questions/discussion topics on fatty liver
Hi, Was advised I had a fatty liver at the end of 2018 (likely from alcohol, but see one of q’s Below). 1. Alcoholic fatty liver vs non alcoholic, is this more the treatment for it as opposed to two different diseases? I.e, neither are medically distinguishable? How are people who eat badly, don’t exercise

Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) Advice for Newbie
Hi there, this is my first post, so hope someone can help. Last November I was diagnosed with HE and prescribed Rifaximin. Ammonia level was 185, which I'm told is very high but nothing to compare against. My care was also transferred from my local hospital to the nearest Transplant Centre. At my last

To asprin or not to asprin
Iam a 33 year old male and am currently on ACE inhibitors for bp. I used to get random stabbing like pains in heart and I went to doctor and he performed an ECG which said I may have an abnormal T wave and RBB. But he also said it may be a coronary spasm. That was about 2 months ago. He referred me to
