Frustrations
My energy levels were low going into PD due to severe depression and a host of other ailments all contributing to my
CKD
. It was my understanding once I was on dialysis and being properly medicated for the depression and other issues, I would be feeling better.

Thoughts on preventing more arryrhmias. Now 2 ablations down, on having been persistently in AF
Just checking in , after my review with my Electrophysiologist . 2nd Ablation was Feb 23rd 2022. He says I am doing very well, for where I was in persistent and a lot of arrythmias, when he ablated. Also on my asking about prognosis that hopefully this will now sustain, with v short episodes of AF

Update after cardiac catheterization.
First a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice and support. I felt you with me every step of the way. The catheterization showed no narrowing of the major cardiac arteries. But head cardiologist came and said all my symptoms were classic heart attack and clearly something was blocked...so i have a bucket

Paroxysmal and permanent Afib
Does anybody know when paroxysmal Afib becomes permanent? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal Afib towards the end of 2022, after I had been fitted with a Linq loop recorder. I was only ever having short episodes lasting up to 8 hours, then on 13th October just gone I started with an episode which is still

Cold remedies
Have used hot, salt-water gargling and antiseptic wash, but before being diagnosed with
CKD
stage 2. I give grandkids zinc, honey, cherry as antiviral throat lozenge. Is it okay to use with

What causes sudden return to sinus rhythm from permanent AF, even when it only lasts an hour or two?
I have permanent AF and of late is has been fairly normal to find walking difficult and feeling very breathless and easily tired. I am used to the routine of just carrying on and making myself stay as occupied and busy as I can. What I just found today, was that I found the daily walk (40 minutes,

First ever park run
Well, I’ve finally done it! First parkrun in the bag and it was enjoyable- as everyone had said, brilliantly well organised, friendly and absolutely no pressure. I wasn’t going to take the dog because I wanted to suss it out myself first but she did those puppy dog eyes at me when I put the gear on

Advice on medication
Over the last couple of weeks I have had pains in my stomach and for longer than that regular bladder problems. Always feeling I need to go to the toilet. I am on 3.5 mg of prednisolone and am wondering if it has anything to do with the other pills I am taking each day. 1 -20 mg omeprazole, 1 - 1000

Why Won't My Neurologist Listen (Explanation)
While my #1 Neurologist diagnosed me with something I never wanted, my #1 Neurologist was one I was very lucky to have known. I only had two one hour visits with him, he was so passionate and willing to help. He told the wife and I, anytime you need my advice or help phone me any time, email me any

Simvastatin v Atorvastatin
Just had a conversation with my Surgery employed Pharmacist. she asked me if I would object to switching from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin as the Simvastatin was rather an old drug. I was put on it around 2007. I told her to go ahead ... no problems. The following quote is what I found during an ultra

just diagnosed at stage 3b need to know how to live with this
Hello, I am 75 and was just diagnosed with
CKD
3b. All of my functions were fine until 2 years ago when my PCP noticed a decrease in GFR and increase in creatinine. We both thought it was due to Aleve and one other med I was taking for pain. ( I had been in a car accident therefore the meds).

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

Morphine & Oramorph.
Hi all, My dad is now bedridden with CBD. He appears to be in constant pain. Although he can't verbalise. Codeine is no longer keeping him comfortable. Today the GP has prescribed morphine twice daily and Oramorph in between. Has this proven to be an affective pain relief for others please. He already
