Belimumab treatment
Hi I have lurked on this site for years but now after reoccurring pericarditis my treatment for lupus will change. I need advice and have questions I've been in Plaqunail and methotrexate for years and tapering off prendsisone at the moment. The pericarditis comes back when I taper off the steriod

BRIDGING MY BLOOD THINNER FOR COLONOSCOPY
It's time for my colonoscopy but I have reservations because I have been instructed to discontinue my regular blood thinner 5 days before the procedure; and bridge with lovanox. Then I'm supposed to stop the lovanox 2 days prior to the procedure. I have had a colonoscopy before but not since being diagnosed

Raised platelets and Eylea injections question for moderators or anyone with special knowledge
I suffer from a rare type of blood cancer in which my platelets are too high. They have been controlled during the last three years but recently have risen again. During the last six years I have been having Eylea injections for macular degeneration in both eyes (somewhere about 60 injections altogether

Prednisolone and blood thinners
As well as having PMR I also have Atrial Fibrillation. I am currently on 6mg of prednisolone.My GP is reluctant to prescribe a DOAC blood thinner for the Afib, because he says there is a risk of gastric bleeding.I am friendly with two retired GP's who are both of the opinion that this shouldn't be an

Lemon & Ginger Tea
Hi I found some Tetley Lemon & Ginger Tea Bags. As I currently have an annoying cough I thought they would be good, especially with a spoonful of honey. I have just read that ginger is not good if you are on blood thinners and aspirin and am a bit worried as to whether I should be drinking it. Any

Blood thinner or not
I was diagnosed with Afib in January 2022.So far my episodes have been infrequent,although they can last for 8 or 9 hours. However this month I have had two episodes.On diagnosis the consultant didn't put me on a blood thinner because he said my risk of stroke was very low.However, now it appears the

Any advice, post angiogram

Itching with blood thinners (Apixaban and Edoxapan)
Had to change from Apixaban to Edoxapan due to severe reaction of itching all over the body, it was really bad. The Edoxapan is much better, but still get the occasional real itches on back and legs . but they gave me E45 anti itch cream that REALLY works well and often stops after a few minutes after

Cardioversion for irregular but normal range heartbeat
Hi all, Due for cardioversion soon. I have had persistent AF sine April 23. HB normal range 55-90 but always irregular. No p waves for 10 months according to my Kardia. On anticoagulant, beta blocker and statin. From posts read it seems most who have Cardioversion have episodes of higher rate HB.

Iron deficiency
After blood tests showed low ferritin and other values indicating iron deficient anaemia, the NHS did a fairly thorough job over 6 months with various tests and procedures to eliminate internal bleeds as a cause ( anticoagulant doesn't help!). Finally given the all clear and advised that iron supplementation

ICD,s
Hi Everyone!My partner has recently been fitted with an ICD in rather a fast manner following a call to attend A& E when this Heart Loop Recorder noted a 10 second Ventricular Standstill. He was unaware of this until his heart monitor team called but down the line he was fitted with an ICD that day.

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.
