Encephalopathy (HE), a visit to an ancient brain
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) -- A stranger lives inside me. I've talked with many who have experienced the condition but this was my first time. It was very different from what I imagined. This blog is particularly aimed at care givers and family members who find themselves interacting with someone

Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

Does anybody have information on factors affection the absorption / effect of stimulant medication? I already know about the effect of vit C and other acidic foods etc and that alkaline things like bicoarbonate of soda can potentially prolong the effect of medication. I've also read that low zinc levels

Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

T3 and updates.
Hope everyone is having a good day and not pouring it down and misty as it is here. Managed to have a telephone consultation with my usual Dr. today that I feel was helpful. My T3 result was done with my last tests and is 4.5 which said in normal range. I only had one thyroid test prior to beginning

Private cardiac MOT 5 years on?
Hi everyone... I'm just coming up on 5 years since an 'out of the blue' heart attack and cardiac arrest. My annual CHD review is due, and I pretty much know what to expect - they'll weigh me, ask me about my exercise, check my bloods and ask me how I feel. No red flags from that I'll be on my way

Slippery Elm & Lansoprazol
I'm asking advice for my son. It's about timings etc re slippery elm, supplements and slippery elm. He's 40 and on Lazoprasole for almost 12 years for slight hiatus hernia. Each time he's not taken it, due to prescription mix up, he gets bad acid symptoms. At the moment he's having an acid flare up.

Switch from Bisaprolol to Calcium Blockers
Hi all, new to the site. My cardiologist has just switched me off Bisaprolol 5 mg as they had stopped working properly to Tildiem and Ranolazine. He said it was OK to stop the Bisoprolol cold turkey as I had only been on it a few months, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced their heart

Rejoining the world - An update on my cancer experience as a patient with cirrhosis
People have been asking how I was doing so I thought it was time to provide an update. A quick review.
