Liver enzymes & blood test results
Hi, firstly thank you all for replying to my previous posts. Your replies were very helpful. I have got my blood test results. They are normal apart of borderline diabetes. It's 44mmol. My Alt and ast is 28 and FBC is 329. I am not sure what this means? My BMI falls in obese category. Doctor told me

Nosebleeds and Apixaban
Some years ago I had occasional nose bleeds,usually in the winter and made worse by going into dry atmosphere and from one nostril only. Starting Saturday 6th May I had 5 quite heavy ones,including clots. I managed to see an actual doctor yesterday who diagnosed an infection so prescribed Naseptin cream

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence

ET, Hydroxycarbamide and cataract surgery
I have to have cataract surgery, not so much because my cataracts are so bad but because I have primary angle closure glaucoma, so I don’t really have an option! I am concerned that it might take longer for my eyes (left one to be done first and right a few weeks after) to heal as I have ET. I have

Actemra frequency query
Hi Everyone, I’m wondering if there is anyone on here who is managing their Actemra injection pen shots four-weekly? I’m interested to know why your shots are spaced out to 4 weekly (or more), and for how long and how successfully you are managing this. Thanks. 😘

Fibrosis result confusion
Hi all, I have been a lurker on this wonderful forum for about 61/2 years when I was diagnosed with alcohol related disease. Only symptoms were ascites and weight loss, about 3st. 8 litres were drained from abdomen at that time and I have never had any liquid build up since then. I am completely compensated

Hi I am having cataract surgery on Sunday and you are given choice of a sedative or not. The nurse said "they usually " use Midazelam -obviously anything offered if i am unsure I will go without it. Does anyone know if Midazelam is RLS safe ? Don't want legs jumping around and the surgical instruments

HE and Variceal Bleed
I last posted 2 years ago after being concerned for my mom and her drinking. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has now been alcohol free for just over 2 years. She has had 2 variceal bleeds in the last 4 months, both times being found by her partner covered in blood and within a few weeks of seeing
