Pulmonary Edema
Hello everyone! Does anyone have aortic insufficiency, with pulmonary edema, which is treated with diuretics? If so can they affect your INR much? My specialist is off ill and my cardiologist is on holiday. It's just that I saw a doctor in A&E today who obviously did not have much experience in treating

Quitting drinking, am I too late?
Hi, I'm a 32 year old male, who's drank heavily since the age of 15. The only definitive answer to my question would have to come from a doctor, but having found this forum, I see no harm in asking those who may have first hand experience from the patients perspective. I've decided it's time to stop

Just been diagnosed with macular degeneration
Hi. My name is Raechel and I'm 42 and I've been diagnosed with AMD. I went to Specsavers today and I was told I had AMD.

Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
Is there anyone on the Forum who has CRVO or BRVO (branch retinal vein occlusion). I was diagnosed by Prof.Khamashta 7 years ago, after my first BRVO. I have unfortunately had a second, much worse. The treatment to possibly restore some sight to the affected eye, is with injections. These injections

Improving numbers
Just a quick update. Had my bloods done the other day. January saw a ggt of270 and a few other high numbers. My ggt is now down to 159 and only one other reading is slightly elevated. I'm working out, eating clean, zero alcohol since December. It all works people. Educate others. Make sure they realise

GGT 64, was 66 six months ago
I have found out that my GGT is 64 this week. Back in September it was 66. All my other blood tests including LFTs were fine. I eat fairly healthy and exercise. I like a drink but make sure I don't exceed 21 units a week (I am a bit OCD so tend to count them each week). My mum also has isolated high
