Who should i be seeing in the UK?
Hi, Im in the Uk. was told I had lupus anticoagulant after having a clot on my brain (and a DVT whilst on warfarin) My neuro rehab told me in 2018. My GP switched me from warfarin to rivaroxaban as I was never in range of 3-4. From reading posts on here and elsewhere only warfarin is recommended and

2 down, 10 to go!
Just finished my second of twelve rounds of Avastin, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin. So far, so good. Going every two weeks - 4 hours at a clip. Very lucky so far, hair is holding steady. This is excellent because it has just grown back after my last Taxotere/Carbo regiment a year ago. I think I'm going

Hair and prednisone
I was losing my hair when on methotrexate and since it didn’t seem to be helping me, I stopped taking it. I cut my hair super short, 1/2 inch, and as it grew back it looked thicker and now it is also very curly. I normally have straight hair. Has anyone else experienced curly hair as a result of prednisone

Excess hair growth due to PCOS
Has anyone got any solutions for excess hair growth on the face due to PCOS? Currently saving for laser hair removal and I pluck currently but I need to this every day to keep on top. Due to eczema on my face I’m reluctant to use hair removal creams and vaniqua didn’t work for me 😫. My eczema also prevents

Hair loss from prednisone?
Late in my 11 months on prednisone, I experienced hair loss that was more pronounced than previous “sheds” that I had attributed to menopause. As I’ve never had very thick hair, any hair loss is distressing. But at least there are lots of new short hairs coming in, so it may get better over the next

Stomach virus.. Should I increase pred for a few days?
I've had a nasty stomach virus for a few days. PMR symptoms under control. Should I increase pred for a few days? Just thinking of adrenal glands. I've had a headache all day but could be due to no caffeine. Thanks friends.

Coming off Apixiban
My partner has been on Apixiban for 18 months after having an Unprovoked Pulmonary embolism. Today he has seen a Consultant who advised him to come of it as he has no problems with lung function or heart. And only the one blood clot. He appears to be taking this decision in his stride and out of the

Transitioning from Dalteparin to Rivaroxaban
My Hematology team have decided to take me off Dalteparin 15,000 IU/0.6 ml to Rivaroxaban 15 mg, this is because a recent DEXA scan has shown I have severe Osteoporosis in spine and hip, and they say Dalteparin can worsen Osteoporosis. They said I have to take both Dalteparin and Rivaroxaban together

Stem Cell Treatment
A little while ago I mentioned that liver transplants could one day become a thing of the past. Day by day the use stem cell treatment and research brings us closer to finding a cure for liver disease. HIV positive man in London becomes second person ever to be cleared of virus after stem cell transplant

A sleep concern
Hi Everyone, I haven't been here in a while, it's usually the case when things are going well. But recently I've developed this bad sleeping habit. (?) What's confusing is it came out of the blue. Something similar has happened before when my anxiety was bad ( I don't feel it's bad right now tho). As

L-Tyrosine
Hi everyone, I have been given the name of this amino acid as a suggestion for use for my RL. Does anyone know of treatment with this and if so, any comments? I believe L-Tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine.

Update 3 months since Ablation
Hi Everyone, just thought I’d update you all on where I am up too. So good news is I’ve been AF free since my few blips after my ablation in early November. I finish my rivaroxaban today 31/01/19 as instructed from my EP. So today is exactly 3 months post procedure. I’m a bit nervous about coming off

Ginkgo Biloba for RLS
I took 60 mg of Ginkgo Biloba in the middle of awful sleepless night and slept like a baby till morning. Manufacturer: Jarrow Formulas from iherb.com. It was the very first time when I took Ginkgo in the middle of the night. Before I only used it during daytime and the same 60 mg gave me a headache.

5-HTP - A Trigger?
I take quite a few supplements. These days before I buy anything new I Google the name of the supplement and AFib to see if I get any legitimate hits. Wanting to try a new sleep aid that has 25 mg of 5-HTP I was surprised to see a few references that said 5-HTP was a trigger for some. Because it helps

Trying to deny what is real
One of the things I value more than anything else is honesty, I hate deceit. That makes this post so hard to type. When I was in hospital last year one of the biggest issues we processed was growing up in a family where my Dad and an older brother were pedophiles. Even typing that is hard. Unfortunately
