GCA diagnostic dilemma
Thank you everyone who has helped so far. Last night I had a message from Rheumy saying I should go to the hospital for an emergency biopsy, with the headache and unusual severe temporal pain being the driver. He said that U/S was so ‘operator sensitive’ as to be unreliable in this ‘locality’. The

Medical OR chemical castration
Hi All, Ok I am 79 and still in great physical condition. PR and ADT for 2 years. To date no unusual physical side effects other than zero sex drive. It looks as thought I will be on ADT until I die. PSA increasing monthly so I will try other chemicals. I want to remain in good shape until my number

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

ICD and Outdoor Swimming
Hi all, I’m about to get an ICD fitted in Jul this year. Over the past 10 years I’ve been an active outdoor swimmer sea swimming through the winter without a wet suit and taking part in two English Channel relay swims. I’m keen to know if anyone with an ICD fitted does open water swimming still and

Today I have woken up and no AFib, feels strange. I'm just wondering if it because

scaring of the heart
Hi 😊😊 I had emergency surgery for perforated bowel Dec 22. I was in hospital for 8 weeks. There were many complications but I’m still here. I had an ICD fitted, this because I had 2 cardiac arrests 🙈. I’ve had many scans and MRI and they found scaring on my heart ❤️ I’ve had genetics blood test

Oocha and icd placement.
10 weeks ago I had a witnessed out of hospital cardiac arrest, I was given cpr. I ended up going to a wonderful hospital where I eventually was fitted with an ICD, and discovered that I have myocarditis. Unfortunately 2.5 weeks later i was back in because the atrial wires were not in the correct place

Looking for tips and experience of regaining fitness after an ICD implant for LVT.

In 19 days its a year later....
In 19 days time it will be a year ago my accident happened. I still ask myself what's wrong with me but I know what happened, I know what I have came through and I know the person I am today. I have made, in my opinion, a decent recovery but still working on it. I am a different person for my family
