I miscarried twins in September at just over 7 weeks. I had a D&C a week after the diagnosis. Three weeks later, I had to go back in due to abdominal pain. My right fallopian tube was inflamed, and I had ovulated from both ovaries. My amylase levels were also high, and after Googling, I found that this

Hello everyone, I have a question please. Since a had the IL surgery I pretty much always have a burning sensation in my mouth. I take Lansoprazole 30 mg 2x and recently Cimetidine.

I am reaching out again to you wonderful people. I am trying to resolve a few issues about digoxin. I take 75 mg propafenone 2 x daily (I couldn't tolerate a whole tablet of 150 2 x daily so this was halved) I also take .125 digoxin 1 x daily. I am wondering if the digoxin can be reduced in half because

Hello, Has anyone used or using DHA and Ketone / MCT / Coconut oil? Please share your experiences / suggestions.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about an appointment with Liver Specialist. This appointment was very productive and whilst at the hospital I got bloods done and picked up a prescription for a mild diuretic and told not to use this diuretic until I received a letter giving me dosage. Hopefully the diuretic

I've had 7 sessions of Cabazitaxel and around the 4th session, I started to get edema in my legs and feet. It is quite severe, they started me on a diuretic but it does not seem to help much.

As per title, I collected my script earlier today, saw the packaging was different, and didn't really think much of it - because it seems to happen quite a lot with my other meds - until I popped out some pills to put into my dispenser.

Hi, been on pred since end of January 24, my blood sugar level was over 7 in April, but no one questioned it, in July it was 5.5 as I had cut my carbs and sugar, in September it was pre diabetic range 6, cut carbs etc again and now at 5.7 which is ‘Normal’ Looking at my results I was 5.9 on January

Hi I have permanent AF with fast HR. Recently I had a BP check with my private endo who I see for hypothyroidism. It was OK. Classed as high normal I think 130/80. I was taking a low dose of beta blocker and a low dose of diuretic at the time. I then had a bad fall, tripped over something someone

Hi...sorry I'm hoping someone can help me....had my results back & although not overly high I've read that in the UK doctors use the York Care Pathway to interpret faecal calprotectin test results for IBD... 100-250 ug/g- intermediate result & the test should be repeated in two weeks. I feel silly

An interesting paper. Whether thyroid tests need to be done fasting - or not - has been discussed many times. If we accept this paper, we can see that fasting versus high blood glucose seems to have a potentially very significant effect - with TSH falling and FT4 rising. Ironically given that we are

Diuretics are known to make RLS worse. It is thought that this is a result of the fact that it lowers potassium. Busunsc713 pointed out that there are potassium sparing diuretics. So my questions for anyone taking a diuretic. 1) is it a potassium sparing one - triamterene, spironolactone, eplerenone,
