clotting whilst on warfarin for clots in lungs.
I’ve been trying to find out why I’ve had breathlessness for 3 years. In 2021 NHS pulmonary consultant arranged Ct scan abd lung function tests. Lung function tests results said good. Ct scan revealed very mild dry bronchiectasis and very mild emphysema - both too mild to be classed as COPD. Was discharged

home from cardioversion
so I had my 2nd cardioversion today, first one lasted over 2 years……so hopefully this one will last a fair while too. Only took one zap and I was back in sinus rhythm. This time I’ve been told to continue my bisoprolol but last time I wasn’t on them at all. Hopefully this wil keep me in sync until I

OK bloods...Still plateauing??
Hi again 👋About 7 weeks ago I increased my levo from 50mcg to 75mcg after discussing here. Initially, revved up again. Happy days- more energy, lost a small bit of weight, mood improved etc. I have started slipping back again and thought I'd get my bloods done again before I do anymore 'tinkering'.

dizziness and lupus
hey all, I hope you’re all as well as you possibly can be. I feel so bad moaning when I know I could be a lot worse but I was recently diagnosed with Tumid Lupus (a chronic rare form of cutaneous lupus) but I’m presenting symptoms of SLE. I’ve been referred to rheumatologist but still waiting. I have

Low hemoglobin
I started hemodialysis in Aug with an emergency chest catheter. I had 2 units of blood as my hemoglobin was low while in hospital. Then in hospital again in September and another 2 units of blood. Got my labs today and hemoglobin was 6.8 so they gave me Mircera and iron. When I did PD I got Mircera

Help with blood results
Morning everyone, I wonder if any of you could help me. I have many symptoms of lupus for years but also symptoms of fibromyalgia. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for 4 years but no treatment. I had autoimmune blood tests done which I do not understand. Does a medium Positive mean I have lupus

New study inverse vaccine
Exciting research! A new type of vaccine developed by researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) has shown in the lab setting that it can completely reverse autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes — all without shutting down

difference between portal vein thrombosis and portal hypertension?
Good evening. New here. Husband in hospital with liver cirrhosis. Having scope on Monday and we were told today that he has portal vein thrombosis. I understand what that is but I’m confused after doing some research as to the difference between portal vein thrombosis and portal vein hypertension? Or

Parkinson's wife
My husband was diagnosed about 4 years ago though I suspect Parkinsons was developing long before that. Main problem - neither Sinemet or Madopar has any effect on bradykinesia or tremor (let alone the non motor symptoms)and increasing medication e.g. Neupro patch = rotigotine dopamine agonist only

Confused, Don’t know what’s going on!
In my previous posts I mentioned that we booked a private appointment with cardiologist. After mum had a heart monitor for a week, the consultant confirmed that mum’s average heart rate was around 86, and the peak was around 160. The consultant has doubled the dose of bisoprolol so now mum is to take

PBC - liver transplant donors and blood group questions
Hi - I either read on this website or the PBC Facebook site in the last couple of weeks - referring to if potentially one day a liver transplant is needed, that being a specific blood group type can limit the number of potential donors you may have? I am the blood group Rhesus Negative and wondered

Elevated LDH
Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist

Shortness of breath and chest pains
Two years after afib started I slipped into persistent afib and had an ablation. 60% of the way through the ablation I developed pericardial effusion and the ablation stopped and a drainage tube was placed in my heart.

Treatment Update IMRT with ADT 18 months later
Follow up 18 months later. I am due for another ADT injection in December. Spoke to the Urologist and he feels 18months is enough keeping with the European standard while the Oncologist would like me to stay the course and do the full 2 years. I am in favor of 18 months also, that would be nice. Still
