Stop Actemra for good?
I am down to 4.5 mg of Prednisone. Started at 15 a couple of years ago. Have had about a year of monthly Actemra infusions (monthly infusions not weekly shots). I don’t feel different after them. Why shouldn’t I stop taking them? I still have some heaviness in arms/legs and some minor pains on occasion

Binge Drinking with mild fatty liver leading to RUQ discomfort and nausea - help!
I posted 2 months ago in relation to being a very heavy drinker who had tried to become sober after an ultrasound showed mild fatty infiltration which was reversible earlier this year but I then lapsed and was terrified of having caused further damage. I was lucky to have a blood tests and an ultrasound

Hangover
75 and been a lifelong social drinker but for 18 months averaged no more than 10 units per week as I couldn't take the hangovers. Now if I have more than 4 units alc at night I need to sleep most of next day. Is this due to liver not functioning.? I have regular blood tests and no liver, kidney or other

cataracts, glaucoma and astigmatism
I was diagnosed with glaucoma last year and had laser surgery which didn’t work. I now have cataracts which are causing me blurred vision. On my last visit to the glaucoma hospital the ophthalmologist said “you have cataracts” but he didn’t say anything else about it or whether I needed to get them done

Non Alcoholic Liver Disease
I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Liver Disease Cirrhosis. Am I allowed to drink any type of alcohol or not. I’ve never been much of a drinker. Special Occasions Only. Normally I would drink WKD. Is that still okay to drink or should I stop altogether?

Medication change prior to surgery?
I’m wondering if it is a good idea to increase my prednisone dose ahead of cataract surgery next week?. It’s expected to be a routine and ‘non invasive ‘ procedure but all the same sure to be hard body. I’m on 6mg prednisone and started at 60mg for GCA just over four years ago. I’ve been in the care

Cataract Surgery after Trabeculectomy
Hi Everyone!Pressure rose in my eye with trabeculectomy I had a year ago. Doctor wants me to do cataract surgery before he does bleb needling. Anyone done cataract surgery after a trabeculectomy? How was it? Did it affect your bleb? Was anything special done to minimize negative consequences on the bleb

Cataract surgery and anticoagulants
I'll be having cataract surgery soon and I'm wondering if any of you were told to discontinue anticoagulants before the procedure. I haven't received any instructions yet regarding medications but I'm just curious as to what to expect.

compensated question
Saw one of my consultants doctors last week who felt on examination that ascities was gone. I asked him does that mean I’m compensated and he said I could be. He sent me for an ultrasound and the results were good apart from the usual cirrhosis scarring and gallstones. Trace fluid also which he said
