Should I switch from Riveroxaban to Apixaban?
I'm a 64 yr old male and have paroxysmal AF. 3 years ago my cardiologist put me on Riveroxaban as well as Flecainide.I have not had any issues with Riveroxaban but seeing all the comments,I was wondering whether I should switch to Apixaban given that it is better for gastric bleeding.

Bloods a month after taking carbimazole.
I've now had my bloods re tested a month after dr put me on 10mgs of carbimazole . Bloods originally TSH 0.01 now 53.40 (0.27-4.2) T4 34.3 now 8.2(12-22) T3 4.1(3.1-6.8) didn't retest but private test 2 weeks ago was 3 2 so presumably it may be abit lower B12 265 now 255(179-2000) Folate 3 now >20(3.9

Sounds a bit like

. I wondered if it's OK to use alongside pred. I'm not holding out much hope for it but I'm willing to try anything to sort out my neck ache!

update after fourth ablation
Appointment with EP yesterday gave the thumbs up to cut out the flecainide. Not needed as have not had any blips since a quick reset (cardioversion) in April after the fourth ablation in March. Besides, the flecainide is causing wide qrs so it’s becoming more problematic than helping. Anyone had problems

I saw my first neuro after over five years
Today I saw the MDD who diagnosed me in august 2017. Before him I saw other doctors who could not figure what I had. So after over five years I saw him again. That time my score was 17 and today 23. He was surprised to find out my progression was very small. I told him I think the Thiamine helped me

Coping with heat
I need your advice my friends. We live in the north of England and rarely get a heatwave but this summer we had 2 and my HWP, who is in his 29th year of diagnosis, really suffered. I looked on HU and saw this can be a problen in PD. I told him what I had read and dealt with it with fans and cold packs
