Reapplying for enhanced personal independent payment
I am currently receiving standard PIP. Unfortunately following heart surgery I am now under care of heart failure team. My mobility made worse by breathlessness. I am on a waiting list for a different style of pacemaker Can I now apply for enhanced PIP before my new re assessment date?

Stem Cell Transplant-update
Well, I have been below the radar lately but it’s time to update you all. I was diagnosed moth PMF in April 2020 and declined quite quickly. I have CALR with ASXL1 mutation. I went through rapidly increasing dose of Peg INF but moved over to Ruxolitinib when my platelet count dropped. The rux helped

Can Bradycardia trigger AF? and Bisoprolol !
3 weeks ago I started to get long runs of AF after being AF free for 6 years after Ablation. After almost constant runs of AF and Ectopics for 2 weeks, it settled for a few days, but has come back now 3 days. But what's happening is I have a slow heart rate, its averaging between 50 - 60. I have

Disheartening news 😞☹️
My precious Jeff … They now think the cancer has spread to his brain sheath and spine. To confirm this, he has to have a spinal tap, but first has to be off blood thinners for 72 hours. If cancer is in the brain sheath, there’s basically nothing they can do. We start the countdown. Tomorrow they

Meds after spinal fusion
My fusion was 11 weeks ago and I still need an occasional dose of my prescription medication. I have heard that otc meds such as aleve and ibuprofen can interfere with bone grafting, so I have been avoiding them. Surgeon said the otc's were okay to take at this point but I would rather wait until I

ablation report
So, I arrived at the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow at 0730 this morning. I was called in to a room in ward 2c where I donned a rather fetching but rather revealing gown and filled out all the required forms. The staff were warm and welcoming and very reassuring. Around 0800 the surgeon who also

Fatigue
Does anyone else suffer with extreme tiredness even after sleeping well all night? I have felt tired all the time recently . I am 71 years old and have been in permanent AF for some years and chose not to go down the ablation route. I have been putting it down to the heat but not sure it is. I take

MF high risk Mutations
This has been covered in some form before. But I came across this report that summarizes misc info from Cornell in a nice clean manner. See link, it's easy reading. A specific takeaway is with the high risk (HMR) mutations in yellow here they lean toward SCT (stem cell transplant) if possible rather

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.

Apixaban monitoring
Has anyone else in the UK been summoned by their GP for weight and blood tests for Apixaban monitoring, it does appear to be NICE guidelines but first for me.
