varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

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

Webinar: Pegcetacoplan for Dry AMD
The first-ever treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) will be the topic of our next My Macular and Me webinar. Pegcetacoplan, which will be known as Syfovre, was approved for use in the US in February to treat patients with late-stage dry AMD – often referred to as geographic atrophy

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

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

Clonidine for hypertension
Hello, Does anyone have experience with taking clonidine for hypertension? My FWP has been experiencing fluctuating blood pressure (anything from 102/66 or lower to 180/90 or even 200/80 on occasions) and his cardiologist has been adjusting his meds but they don’t seem to be that effective. We

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. 😘

Midazelam
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

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

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?

I had cataract surgery 18 days ago but sight in the operated eye is still cloudy. Will this clear eventually?. What has been the experience of members of this group. Anything I can do to help this clear?

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

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

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
