Dumbfounded by results of blood tests. New to this.
When I received shocking news about my blood test results, I found it hard to take in the information. I don't drink alcohol, so cannot understand what can be wrong with my liver. Does anyone know if prescribed medications can trigger the problem, and what does an ALT, GGT & LDH level that has tripled

Fluttering Eyelids...cripes.
In the big picture of PSP, this is a nuisance symptom, at least for me; trying to keep things in perspective. What has now evolved into a consistent symptom is my fluttering eyelids. Can be either eye, and either the upper or lower lids. Happens several times a day, usually for not very long.

Help with hypo and cardio symptoms appreciated.
I was diagnosed a year ago, after what I think was a decade of being borderline hypo. I take 25ug of levo and my last TSH measurement was 1.9. FT4 and FT3 are both 'within range'. My GP has prescribed ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, neither of which had any effect on my blood pressure. She

Does anyone have problems with their eyes? I've had lupus and APS for over 30 years and never had any issues with my eyes till now.
Woke up just before Christmas with a slight blurring in my left eye which didn't go away. Ended up being diagnosed with choroidal neovascular membrane which is linked to wet macular degeneration. Eye specialist thinks this is as a result of lupus but at present my rheumatologist is unsure????

Tyramine Diet Anyone?
i just increased my Emsam dosage from 6 mg to 9mg. the new patch came with a dietary warning. i cant eat any tyramine rich foods and need to decrease/avoid caffeine. tyramine is an amino acid by product (the amino acid it comes from is tyrosine). tyramine is usually just processed by the body and

Fatty liver

I also had a blood test and the function which should be approx 30 was 95. I have been told to stop drinking, lose weight and return in January to see

I am otherwise fit, slim and healthy but have ridiculous levels of cholesterol, though the ratios are good. I am reluctantly beginning to see the ned for medication and discussions are beginning. The possibilities

Has anyone had a bad reaction to Spironolactone or experienced good results from furosemide?

Azilect (Rasagiline)
Selegiline and rasagiline (brand name Azilect), are generally given in the early stages of PD in order to slow the progression of symptoms of PD. MAO inhibitors, however, can have serious side effects if they are taken in concert with a selected class of other medicines like cough medicines, antidepressants

Zelapar--is any one taking it? Comparison between Zelapar and Azilect?
WHen I was diagnosed with PD, the Neuro put me on a low dose of Requip and zelapar. I noticed a change right away- like I could move, had my balance back and an overall good feeling. Six months later, because I was going through a stressful time, He added a anti depressant. I tried many of those and
