Lupus Anticoagulant testing while on Warfarin

I have searched the group but I do not seem to find what I need to know. If your hematologist insist on testing for Lupus Anticoagulant how many days must you stop warfarin before the test? The hematologist says that the DVRTT test works without stopping Warfarin. But I have read many times that while

end of he line

Since diagnosis in 2018, I have pretty much run the gamut of affordable SOC treatments and I finally got my Onco to agree that the treatments were doing more harm than good (based on side effects and endlessly climbing PSA). I have continual gut pain. Is this type of pain what we hear about as

emphysema results

hi everyone I have emphysema . Just had a spirometry test and my results are Fev1 =50%/1.16 Fev1/Fev6 =0.67/87% fev6 =62% how bad is this? Does it mean I only have half lung capacity? How is everyone managing at this level?

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

Hi. My auntie who I have had a close mother-daughter type relationship for all my life (I'm 50, she's 80) started showing strong symptoms in late 2021 and was diagnosed last year with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. She is now housebound on 24hr oxygen therapy with carers coming in and lots of visits

androgen receptor inhibitor for nmCRPC

So if you become castration resistant. Your PCa will grow without androgen. Your MO will recommend an androgen receptor inhibitor. Why bother inhibiting PCa androgen receptors if it can survive without androgen?? Confused.

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me. I have given up HRT, SSRIs, statins, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the

Temgesic/Buprenorphine

Hello everyone - especially those of you on Temgesic or buprenorphine in sublingual form. Shumbah posted recently about the short half life of Temgesic as opposed to plain buprenorphine hydrochloride. At that time I did not respond as I was back on oxycodone as per suggestion of my neurologist. However

Thyroid or Post Polio
