Low kidney function
Just sitting by the fireplace, doing nothing. My feet are swollen & red this morning. Doctors tell me my feet are swelling due to low kidney function? They have double my Diuretic, and still is not removing fluid. Waiting on test results from yesterday to determine which way to go next? They are not

Hypothyroidism and glucose levels
I have been thyroidless for almost 12 years (as well as hypoparathyroid). Glucose levels have usually been in the top part of the range, but lately they've jumped higher. Found one study that indicated hypothyroidism is associated with a faulty increase in hemoglobin A1C levels. This could lead to

Review after 4weeks OFF bisoprolol
Well, I saw my gp this morning and we both agreed I need some sort of blood pressure medication. I asked for bendrfuromethiside(or however it’s spelt 🤣) as my normal bp outside of af episodes was fine, and I got no awful side effects (no peeing for England either!) but he wasn’t happy with that because

Amusing Story
I saw my MO yesterday. Since UCLA is a teaching hospital, I usually talk with a resident, or the physicians assistant, before the doctor comes in. This makes time with the doctor more efficient, and helps with teaching. Yesterday she sent in one of her students to talk with me. Along with the usual

Christmas carbs
I may be asking the obvious here: I have managed to keep my weight down by eating a lot fewer refined carbs and virtually no refined sugar. But my blood sugar remains high. I have never been overweight. If I eat a few small bits of eg, Christmas pudding, is it likely that my liver will go Whoopee! and

update to severe leg cramps and result of stopping Spironolactone
I was suffering severe and excruciatingly painful full leg cramps in the night - mostly in the left leg but sometimes both legs. I would also sometimes suffer spasms of them during the day. I researched in depth the possible causes, with the obvious ones being not drinking enough fluids throughout the

Did anyone had long lasting effects from an EMG/NCS?
Mine was absolutely awfull. Electrical shocks felt like I was getting electrocuted. I’m on the small side 52 kg ( 114 pounds) and 1m59 (5,2 feet) and my guess is that the doctor used too high of a voltage. The doctor had problems with the machine and was very frustrated and in a bad mood. He kept zapping

Low triiodothyronine levels correlate with high B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with heart failure
An association between low T3 and cardiac disorders. They appear to very responsibly avoid unwarranted conclusions - which came first? - but at least the question is being asked. [i] • Open Access • Published: 08 November 2021

Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma update
Update December 21 I introduced B1 to my oncologist saying it gave me 5 years of control. He said he did not recall that in his college days.

My Dislike For Lyrica Grows by The Day
I also dislike mysteries. I like understanding. The other day a member posted that the first time he ever had RLS in his 30 years of life was shortly after he went cold turkey off of Pregabalin, which he was taking for other reasons. It absolutely has the tendency to do this. I will post case reports

Lyrica Withdrawal
Hi everyone I've been on Lyrica 200mg for my RLS along with Oxycodone for about 9 months and I recently stopped the Lyrica and since have had horrible feelings of emptiness, sadness and anxiety. Has anyone else gone through this after quitting Lyrica?? Thanks for your responses 🐱

Memory and Gabapentin/Lyrica Question
I was taking Gabapentin for about 2-3 weeks and started to notice issues with memory. It became such a problem I stopped taking it. I know Lyrica can also cause that issue as well. Had anyone been in this situation where they switched to Lyrica and had no memory issues? My PT said I should try Lyrica

Two-year check up not what I expected (October 30, 2021)
I had my two year post transplant check up on Wednesday and it was a mixed bag. The doc was pleased that I've lost 65 pounds since the surgery. He was concerned that my blood pressure continues to rise despite being on four blood pressure meds and a diuretic, but didn't want to make any changes since

Worried about husband type 2 diabetic
My husband is on metformin and has now had it increased to 2000 mg daily with another tab now included called for Dapagliflozin 10mg, but when he’s using the urine dipstick the colour is dark brown which indicates far too much sugar, he’s been passing blood for three weeks and was given antibiotics for

Sea air and liver disease
This may seem a very random question, but I wondered if anyone lives by the sea, regularly exercises on the beach or swims, rows or does some boating activity?! If so, has inhaling the salty air had any adverse affect upon your liver disease in terms of fluid retention, sudden change in diuretic dose
