Liver enzymes
Hi, I had mildly elevated ALT in January so stopped drinking alcohol. It lowered but then went up to 100 with raised AST also. Gradually both went down to normal and Nils blood test and ultrasound were normal. However, ALT has gone back up to 72 and ALT 64. My GP is stumped. Has anyone experienced

Can IBS lead to other conditions?
HiAfter having ibs most of my adult life it has, I believe led to an autoimmune condition. Leaky gut then migraines and all the time the link was gluten. Gluten free now and have been for over 3 years, dairy free too for over 2 years, private tests have led to this very restrictive diet. FODMAPDIET didn't

vitamin d advice please
I’m sub clinic apparently. I plan to start V D but my first look at what’s available is confusing. Is there more than one V D as I see some are called D3? Is the RDA amount available or do you just take lots to make it up. I’m 61 female with AI rheumatoid conditions and veggie.

here we go again😬
after 8 long months I finally summoned up the courage to run again. Long story short I had an op beg of last August, not allowed to run for 3 months, enforced sitting around aggravated my GTS, and then after physio for that I developed a painful/ weak ankle on the other side so more physio. Finally

Seafood shows promise as a future Parkinson's disease medication

is this a lupus rash?
Just wanted to add: I’m not taking anything anyone says as a diagnosis or medical advice I promise. I was just curious what people thought it looked like, and just gave info for context. I promise I’m not thinking if someone says it does look like the lupus rash that I’m not taking it as a diagnosis

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Finally passed a kt/v test
Ok, so after 11 months, I finally passed my kt/v test with a score of 1.82, which my nurse said is passing for PD patients. Initially I was on 8 hours, 4 exchanges of 1800ml per night. When I failed the first test, then they moved me to 2000ml per exchange, then 10 hours of 5 exchanges of 2000ml, then

Can Nubeqa (Darolutamide) be used instead of normal ADT drugs for localized PCa?
Hi all. Australia has just given the green light to lower the cost of this so-called wonder drug from a staggering $40K (AUD) to a low $30. It seems that this drug has fewer side effects than the usual ADT drugs and from what I can gather does a pretty good job of preventing the growth and spread

Cystocele/Rectocele repair all done
I'm almost 6 weeks after my repair surgery. Recovery not to bad. First two weeks I was warned were crucial and told not to do anything except rest, which I did. Luckily we had hot sunny weather so I literally layed outside sunbathing in-between medication, meals and sleeping. No pain as I kept taking
