Oral B12 Update
I last wrote a post about 11 months ago in which I was exploring the use of oral B12 while waiting for a specialist appointment. A lot has happened since then and I have waited to reach a conclusion before posting an update. I have decided to summarise my findings rather than ramble on: 1. I found the

Not All Statins Are Equal
Many people quote what dose of statin they are on but not which type. The table shows the reduction in LDL (bad cholesterol) for different statins and doses. Before you ask I am on 40mg Atorvastatin as my student liver (🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺) couldn't cope with 80mg! Fluvastatin: 20 mg/day, 21% reduction

Burning legs a statin side effect?
I started statins approx 2 yrs ago following a diagnosis of CVD. It’s hard to put a time on it but I’m sure that it’s since then that I started with burning legs. I’ve changed from Atorvastin to Simvastatin because I’d also started having discoid eczema. The eczema on my legs seems much better although

Dapagliflozin
Following my Cardiology consult just before Christmas my cardiologist increased the dosage of Bisoprolol, changed my Simvastatin to an increased dose of Atorvastatin, but left my Ramipril as before. New addition to the regime is Dapagliflozin as I am borderline diabetic also. Do any of you take this

Acid ursodeoxycholic and Fenofibrate for PBC
Hiya! An internist suggested that mixing the urso with fenofibrate has shown good results for patients with PBC. I was recently diagnosed with PBC overlap AIH. Are any of you talking it together? Any insight that you could share with me?

Venclexta interacts with many meds, including OTC ones and those for AIHA
I am doing some research on medication interactions with Venclexta, and I noticed that it seems to interact with a lot of common medications, including acetaminophen, ibuprofen, common stomach upset medications like the proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole), steroids commonly used for AIHA (prednisone)
