Spironolactone or Eplenerone
My ejection fraction has decreased from 40-45% to 35-40% so my cardiologist is starting me on Dapagliflozin and then either Spironolactone or Eplenerone. I already take Candesartan. Is either one of those better than the other and are side effects the same? I’ve also read that Spironolactone can cause

Metformin and hormonal resistance
I was looking over my notes from a Snuffy Myers talk at the PCRI in 2014. Here are my notes from the talk: Men with metastatic PCA and on hormonal therapy often become hormone refractive. If PTEN is present, then hormonal failure is almost guaranteed. If PTEN is blocked, hormonal resistance is

Dapagliflozin
I use the above for heart failure but find my urine is always very frothy. Is this a side affect of the drug?

PROBLEM WITH TOES
I have type 2 diabetes, since 2019 and my bloods are well controlled with Metformin. For the last couple of weeks my toes are very red and sometimes feel hot. Should I contact my gp.

Advice for a 19 year old with PCOS in the UK
My partners daughter has PCOS and I really don't think she is getting the help she needs. Metformin is making her very sick and has severe diarrhoea. Her weightloss just isn't happening. Any advice would really be appreciated

Nephrologist Visit
I saw the nephrologist today and am so glad that I did. First, she is a total sweetheart and spent a lot of time asking questions and really listening to the answers. Then she spent time telling me what she thinks happened and what she thinks will happen in the future. Everything was positive and
