Trying to keep positive, how is it possible?
Hello everyone, As you can see, I gave myself a number, which with hindsight rather makes me look as if I came from a concentration camp! Wish that I had chosen a username instead. I was diagnosed with dry AMD, around last October, 2017. I was shocked to the core because I was not aware of any visual

ALT getting higher, fibroscan referral, need advice
Hi, I'm an alcoholic who has drank 2 bottles of wine a night for about a year and a half. I've had my liver investigated this year, and found out a lot. I had a high ALT (124) which then went down to (112) with a normal GGT. I also had an ultrasound which showed a fatty liver. Throughout all of this,

Connection between cataract surgery and wet macular deneration.
I was told that my cataract surgery had nothing to do with causing my dry macular degeneration to bleed and turn to wet in both eyes. I had surgery in the left eye in February of 2017 and had a bleed in April of 2017. At that point, I started the shots in my left eye. I had cataract surgery in the right

Cataract surgery update.
So sorry. I got busy with summer activities and forgot to update. Thanks JeanE for the reminder. It was as straightforward as you all said it would be. Within 2 days the swelling was down enough to bring things into sharp focus. The eye surgeon said steroids from the lung cancer treatment, pneumonitis

High GGT Level after 2 years abstinence. Worried sick!
Hello Everyone, I quit heavy drinking exactly 2 years ago. My ALT and AST level came down to normal levels. My GGT was 140 it went down to 75 after 18 months and I just had my new test done and my GGT level went back up to 144. I haven't had a drink in 2 years today which is the anniversary. I'm

Which DSNS to use--fastest or slowest?
Months ago, I had a flare and raised my pred to 12.5. I stayed at 12.5 for weeks because of some cataract surgery I was going through. Finally, based on the good advice I got here, I tapered from 12.5 to 10 using the DSNS 38-day taper. At the very end of my taper, I suddenly had the return of a bad case

Onc appointment
Had my latest appointment yesterday. I've been taking Letrazole for 3 months. Unfortunately, though some tumours are stable, others have grown a little, which is disappointing. The onc suggested I could try it for another 3 months, or go back on weekly Taxol, which I had about 4 years ago. At the moment

Caput Medusae
Hey folks, I was wondering at what stage of liver disease do caput medusae start showing? A few months ago I started have right quadrant pain and the appearance of spider veins/broken capillaries on my ribs. I got my liver functions tests and a myriad of other blood work and it was all fine. My ultrasound

Sirolimus used for LAM, but not only
Well Metformin Rapamycin, Resveratrol are the new better-aging pharma trends..So they are selling those to people who want to rejuvenate. I don’t know honestly..In Swiss clinics they go like hot cakes..as well as stem cells. I am old-fashioned maybe but meds are meds, and they are for treatment ..

Hi everyone, I am new to the site and would be grateful for any feedback 🙂 I have been under a gastroenterologist for the last year and after various scans I was diagnosed with a non alcoholic fatty liver in February of this year. I was told I needed to lose weight and exercise. In April I had a fibroscan

Wet macular degeneration and blood thinners
Has anyone been diagnosed with wet macular degeneration after being given Clopidogrel or other blood thinners. Have seen some posts about it on a USA sites but nothing on UK sites. I find the second round of eye injections very painful and distressing. Dreading the next one, feel really shook up for

Hepatic encephalopathy
Has anyone tired L-ornithine-L-aspartate along with rifaximin and lactulose to help with relief of toxins? I just started per Dr orders I can’t tell any difference as of yet (one week @ twice a day) I am hoping it helps. 🤠DLD

Pre cataract surgery drops
In error, I used prednisone drops prior to surgery. Will this cause a problem with surgery being able to be done?

Post heart attack meds side effects
Hi I’m 41 and had a heart attack 2 months ago. Although I’m back at work I still get really tired at times and often feel nauseous and light headed. BP is stable so presuming it’s just side effects of ACE inhibitors and beta blockers ??? Has anyone else had similar issues
