Another round of Covid vaccine in UK …..
News of a new variant and adapted Covid vaccine is in the UK media to-day, raising the question for me whether to get it or not. I’m nervous as I recall my PMR starting 2 days after my very first jab (Pfizer) - my system was in a very stressed state at the time. I am currently half-way through 5-week

post cholecystectomy issues
I had my gallbladder out (gallstones) 10 years ago and for the first 5 or so years I had no problems whatsoever, life returned to normal. Then I started getting these weird night time vomiting events. Always seemed to be woken between 2 and 3am with a heavy pressure in my stomach/gut, not feeling nauseas

cholecystectomy and cirrhosis
I’ve been advised that I need a cholecystectomy due to a polyp (9 x 6.5 mm). I have cirrhosis, but am fully compensated. I have been told that this operation can be very dangerous for someone with cirrhosis. Any help or advice please?

Update re: Gallbladder issue.
I am having my gall bladder removed on the 9th any advice or tips on recovery would be very welcome. Backstory is that I have had intermittent issues for several years. Mentioned to my GP (Male) who to be honest did not seem very interested in my symptoms, was given PPI for "indigestion" as blood

Plant Sterols for reduction of cholesterol
Not necessarily related to PMR as I have had high cholesterol since I first started having blood tests years ago. My 'good' and 'bad' have always been about the same level. My current GP suggested statins. I declined. She then suggested trying plant sterols. I've ordered a couple pf packs from

AST/ALT Ratio
I've just joined as I've been worrying myself sick with online data regarding AST/ALT ratio. My liver function test results came back within range but when I use the ratio calculator it says I have liver cerrhosis or chronic hepatitis. Thanks for any help.

Please check!
Earlier today I posted the link to the PBC Foundaton's Urso calculator. There are so many posts and questions relating to Urso that I thought it was important for everyone to make sure they are on the right dose. This 'calculator' is also available on the PBC app. Knowing you are taking the right dose

previous question
Someone recently asked me about taking Urso after my transplant and the return of the disease for me. I can't find the post but I wanted to answer. I have taken Urso since I was 35 years old. I am now 73. I have had no real problems with it all these years luckily. About 25% of those who have a liver
