Elevated Creatinine and ACEi
I found some interesting articles about ACE inhibitors causing creatinine levels to rise! In fact, it seems very common and almost expected. Has any of your doctors ever mentioned this? I wonder if they take this into consideration when looking at creatinine results? I read that a 20% increase in creatinine

List of most rich sources of GDNF
Here is the list https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_tI2U2rhmIkwvgdzU-kou2oTlBgMGUkV Interestingly Rasagiline, Selegiline, Naringin (found in the grapefruit ) and ibogaine are among the top GDNF producers I am already taking ibogaine, considering to add grapefruit extract as well

Can Thyroid Eye Disease be reversed?
After the most rough time that my husband had with his medication for hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) we are quite surprised that his eyes have improved dramatically. He was taking prednisolone eye drops for 6 weeks and his ophthalmologist was surprised himself that the entire inflammation around his

Ace Inhibitors and Statins
Hi everyone, I need some advice please. I was called in to see my gp yesterday for the result of my blood test, CKD 3a. My Triglycerides are 2.4, high. He has put me on ace inhibitors with a blood test in 2 weeks as he said I am at risk of cardiovascular disease and will have to go on statins later.

Retinal implants...hope for the future!
See link below to read whole article. It sure sounds promising... "A team of Swedish and Israeli scientists has unveiled the world’s thinnest retinal implant, crafted from layers of gold and organic tattoo ink. The device is wireless, silicone-free and 500 times slimmer than existing retinal implants

Update review after 3rd ozurdex - now cataracts!
Hi all, another mixed bag. Review showed the implant is working however I now have cataracts both eyes. Left one ( with implant) is accelerated so I'm now on the list to have it done. At least that's the reason for the blurred vision, not more oedema. Was a bit of a surprise though as consultant said

First Actemra infusion today
A bit nervous, today I will be having my first Actemra infusion. In January I started on 60 mg of prednisone, am down to 30 mg currently. My Rheumatologist wants me to start the Actemra so I can titrate off of the prednisone faster due to my experiencing so many negative side effects from prednisone

Day two of raised dose prednisone
Yesterday I was looking for input on my situation. I’m doing much better today. I raised my prednisone 5 mgs and I’m not suffering today. I did wake up very sore but so far no headache and pain has eased up. Definitely was in a flare because of coming off the Actemra. The doc should have told me

Info on MIL
Hi, I haven't commented for quite a while as we are very busy looking after family with illnesses. MIL is at the moment in hospital, she was very confused and doing some bizarre things. Mil has decompensated Cirrhosis of the liver, non alcoholic. She had ascites in 2015 and had 12 litres fluid drained

Need your help
I would like to ask u all for Yr help if it is not too intrusive. I feel that my husband was not given the opportunity to go for an assessment when he first lost all the water retention and treated like a gineapig he was on 100m g of spirolactone a day and this causes the potassium levels to raise and

The big crash diet - BBC
Been watching this programme on BBC and there's a part where one of the participants is diagnosed with fatty liver due to being overweight. Apparently it affects up to a third of us. Many people only see drinking as the culprit for liver disease but I think poor diet and processed sugar in particular

17 with macular degeneration?
After going to the optometrist once again (3rd time) a few days ago I was told that my eyes were fine despite seeing wavy/bent lines and other distortions. The optometrist said "at this stage it is okay" and "come back in a year or two" without mentioning any Drusen or something wrong with my macular

Ckd 3 diagnosis
I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 ckd. I’m devastated to say the least. I am 52 years old. I have hypertension and have had to use NSAIDS for years for pain. I can no longer use them. My gp thinks this may have cause it. I have tried Tylenol and it seems to make me bleed also. I initially had
