Medication Phobia
I'm being a bit of a 67-year-old baby and feeling a bit sorry for myself. I had my first AF episode in April, this year. Who knows, I may have had others that hadn't been so obvious, but this 'first' one let me know by banging away in my chest with a HR of 182. Long story short, I ended up in A&E and

Good news - different injector - no blood shot eyes!
I recently wrote than when a particular individual did my eye injections I came out with two bloodshot eyes. This person said there may be some bruising as I’m now taking blood thinners. I wasn’t sure this was true as thought it was more likely her technique, which despite reassuring words felt more

Have Covid 19 with Lupus and Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Hi! I got Covid 19 in the beginning of November and have never been so sick. It seems there are so many unknowns with this virus. I did not go out, but my husband did and brought it home. He had the 15 day version and is better. My compromised immune system has not been able to fight as well. I live

PD, Stroke Prevention and Recovery With Melatonin
As though dealing with PD isn't bad enough, PwP are thought to have an increased risk for stroke and a poorer outcome than non PwP, according to the following article : https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article-abstract/112/4/269/5284930 Previously I've written about some of the health benefits

Newly diagnosed with AFIB. Very stressed out and scared!
Hello everyone! I'm a new AFIB sufferer, and I thought I'd post here just to feel a little more like I'm not alone. I'm a 30 year old obese non smoker, no drugs, very occasional light drinking, and I have AFIB now. Two days ago I felt off, and I noticed that my heart rhythm wasn't right. I've had lifelong

PACs Very Annoying
A little history I've had proxismal AFIB since 2016. Got a PVI ablation last November and knocked out the AFib. My problem is now I have persistent PACs. (Bigeminy). They are random but sometimes very bad. I was put on a precision monitor and showed thousands of them in a week. Flecainide Metoprolol

Help needed please. TSH results on trial of NDT....!!
Diagnosed with AFib and prescribed
anticoagulants
and referred to AFib clinic which I attended yesterday. I suspect T3 triggered the AFib. Tried to discuss this with doctor treating me in A+E but he said my TSH was normal.

Virus test?
I was sent a request that I take a test by Imperial College for their stats and the last question was about blood thinners and bleeding. On filling in the questions on line I said I was on blood thinners and was told I was not eligible. I assume that possibly they are worried about me putting the probe

How long does zoladex take to kick in?
I had surgery and found out I have stage 4 endometriosis and have been referred to a specialist. While waiting, I discovered I have a blood clot on my lung and started taking blood thinners. Due to the excessive bleeding this caused and being hospitalised my gynaecologist suggested going on zoladex

Blood thinners
I’m a newbie too. I had 2 stents in December 2019. I took part in a trial to see if anything’ was different after being prescribed a blood thinner and an adjustment to the meds I was already on. Was told that I only needed to take blood thinner for 1 year. Anybody know why? Thanks

What should I expect if they have to do a trach on my husband?
My husband has been on a ventilator for 7 days due to Covid. He was able to reach a PEEP of 5 and FIO2 of 40% with his O2 saturation remaining in the 90's. The doctor said he is strong and his lungs even seem to be fairly strong. They started weaning him from the sedation (Fentanyl and Versed) two
