Return to running after 2 months
I was running week 2 or 3 times a week after completing Couch to 5k in summer 2020. However, my last run was on 20 February 2023. Since then I have been unable to run for various reasons, including cataract surgery. I am hoping to start running again this week and would like advice as to how to re-start

steroid injections
has anybody had triamcinolone injection for macular oedema. I am having a cataract op in 3 weeks time and I will be having this injection around the eye at the same time. I think it is also called Kenalog

Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

osteopenia worse, im on enoxaparin/ lovenox any thoughts on vitk2?
I had repeat dexascan says my hips are getting worse, anyone on enoxaparin/lovenox taking vit k2 for “calcium to bone absorption”? Docs are talking about fosamex, etc, but I would rather do vitamins if possible. Not looking for medical advice but would like to know if others with APS are taking it

liver dialysis
hello Has anyone heard of this new treatment “Liver Dialysis’ apparently cleans your liver out of toxins, improves your bloods? I’m seeing my transplant team for the first time on 9th Aug and apparently I think I’m boarderline if I need a transplant, so was wondering if this treatment would be better

Good news
Whilst I am still struggling with getting help for my son, I had a bright spot of news this week. Had a consultation with my liver nurse, first time face to face since lockdown. My bloods have been great for several years, ultrasounds all good too. I had a Fibroscan as I hadn’t had one for around 4

I don’t understand my diagnosis as it’s changed from being overdosed by opiates (hospital error). Now it’s change.
In 2019 I was found on the floor & I don’t know or recall nothing. I could not see as I had balloon out so big that I was unrecognisable. It was a while to get my sight back but I was also told that I was had Liver failure. All my different consultants got together and realised that I was on so much

Thiamin
Hi, my gp has prescribed Thiamine, she hasn't said how long I need to take it for ? I have a little bit of fatty liver, but that's all I know, what sort of question should I be asking and how worried should I be?

problems with cataract surgery
I went for my cataract op today. I thought I was in the theatre for a long time and discovered that part of the cataract had gone into the back of my eye and they could not retrieve it or put the new lens in. I was told that there is a 2% risk of this which could be worse if short sighted and receiving

Post Pred motivation?
Hi all, I'm finally off Pred after starting at 50mg back in Aug '21 for a crippling PMR attack. I took my final (hopefully) 0.5 mg about three weeks ago. However, I'm now often feeling very slow and lacking in motivation to do much at all. "Brain dead" would be a good way to express it. This is not

When do you stop Actemra
I have had four infusions of Actemra. I am down to 4 mg of prednisone with no real pain. I really would like to stop the Actmera due to the side affects. At what point is it okay to stop it?

swollen and painful hip joint and ankle (tendon?)
I’ve been stuck on 9 mg of pred for 9 months due to two cataract surgeries that kept being moved ahead, and unrelenting family and weather stress, ( I live in California). I have severe osteoarthritis in my right knee and also some in both shoulders. My GCA was In my right occipital area

LISINOPRIL AND AFIB
Hello all, are there any on this forum taking lisinopril for high blood pressure? I just came across this today and it could explain why I and maybe others have more afib episodes than we should; 1. Caution: High blood pressure/heart disease meds and potassium-rich foods like bananas, potatoes and licorice

Thought of the day - B12 paradox
Like many aspects of life that we're all trying to grapple with, good health comes from a very fine balance. There is no 'one way' to do things, but a sweet spot in the middle. And I believe it's the same with diet, in particular B12. B12 is a regulator of homocysteine. Low B12 is a driver for high

New test reliable?
Hello everyone. I hope your Saturday is going well. I spoke with my GP this morning to receive blood test results. She said my liver tests are good, my ALT only 50. She explained they did a fairly new test too, called fibrosis 4, known as fib 4 and that assessed scarring of the liver. It was really low

Gamma GT
I was previously a heavy binge drinker, i had liver function tests which were ok but slightly raised GGT. I stopped drinking completely a couple of months ago and had the blood test again, it has risen rather than going down. i am otherwise very fit, healthy BMI and a good diet. Does anyone know why

Periodontitis (Gum Disease) and the Liver
