Chronic Cryptogenic Cirrhosis at age 27

Hi All, I've been lurking since getting my diagnosis of cirrhosis in July last year and I wanted to share my story. For some backstory, I had abdominal pain and a distended abdomen for several weeks which I just saw as me putting on weight due to the lockdown. So I started to make improvements to my

Feeling a little lost.

I’m new to AF and could really do with a bit of support. I had been unwell for some time. Struggled all year to lose weight but zilch came off. I was getting bigger. End of November I was admitted to A&E unable to breath when lying down and was panting. (Had been getting breathless when walking) Pulse

This site keeps me sane! more or less!

When I was diagnosed with kidney failure I was warned about the problems in getting treatment right with heart failure complications. I thought I was doing so well but now I feel as if I'm on a see/saw toing and froing. My Bumetanide was reduced just half a tablet to give my kidneys a chance as I was

Dizziness

Lately I’ve been suffering from dizziness sharp pains in the head. I stopped taking bumetanide a week ago to see if the problem subsided and it has slightly. Told my doctor he sent me for blood tests and all came back clear but he has not contacted me. Does anyone else suffer from this..

Slow weight loss

Hi I have been sticking to a 1200 calorie a day diet for three weeks and lost 2lbs first and second week I put on 1lbs this last week. I have been more mobile and doing some exercise so struggling to see what is going wrong. I lost 5.5 stone six years ago and was pretty fit swimming 50+ lengths 4-5 times

Permanent AF

Hey I was diagnosed with heart failure in January and ended up in hospital. I was told to exercise and left hospital on bumetanide, bisoprolol and lisinoprol. I had been on digoxin in hospital but came off before leaving. Over a few weeks O began to feel better and got some confidence back and started

Amniodorone

I am taking .. Fostair inhaler, losartan potassium, bumetanide, amniodorone , warfarin. Since starting the amniodorone, prescribed by a registrar in my GPs, I have had swollen feet. It was given to bring my blood pressure down. Would it be o.k. to cut the dosage in half and see if that helps. I don't

Early Retirement from Work.

Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

Fluid retention.

Has anyone experienced resistance to diuretics? My furusamide stopped working and I'm now on bumetanide which is better but I still feel bloated and my weight is not moving up or down. I've increased my intake of fluids advised by h.f. nurses. Any tips would be appreciated.

What is Nebivolol like?

I'm back again following a medical MOT. I failed but not miserably! My heart is weaker but that's to be expected I expect! The good news I think is that I've been taken off bisoprolol completely and I take the complete dose of Nebivolol at night (7.5) I had a good night's sleep broken only by Maverick

Alcohol and stopping due to HF

My husband has been a drinker averaging 6 cans a night for around 40 years. In Aug 2019 he found himself in hospital with swelling up to his abdomen and extreme coughing and breathlessness. As he hadn't visited a gp for 25 years , you can imagine this was a huge shock. Basically his diagnosis was heart
