my mum - end stage liver failure
I just wondered if anyone may be able to offer any advice in our situation. My mum was diagnosed with cirrhosis 8 years ago and gave up alcohol. Unfortunately she started drinking again 4 years ago. She was in hospital for 6 weeks earlier this year and diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy. I thought

Portable air purifier for outdoor exercise with allergic asthma
It is the peak of spring allergy season here, as well as other great stuff like air pollution. So I just wanted to share the results of today's testing of my wearable air purifier for asthma. I am lucky to have wooded hills out of my door, so I do not have to scare people while walking there. The device

Heart Pain
I wonder if somebody can assist with a question. I'm a 46 year old with a minor mitral valve prolapse. Possible sinus nerve damage on the lower ventricle but minor. I'm not on medication. There is no known 'major' issue or treatment plan suggested by cardiologist. I am very fit with low heart beat. Have

The mind of an alcoholic
Hi all I am an alcoholic, I have liver cirrhosis and a TIPS stent and want to get sober…went to hospital to try and get a detox last Sunday, waited 12 hrs in A&E and they said the NHS do no have the funding or recognise alcoholism as an illness. I wanted to detox so I could go to AA meetings It’s

how statins slow growth of prostate
Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators have found that lowering blood cholesterol enhances the action of immune cells, slowing the growth of prostate cancer. (Clinical Cancer Research: https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-Q434.ccr-21-1535). It provides a rationale for large-scale clinical testing of using cholesterol

Week six post ablation
Hello All, First of all I would like to thank the person or people who wrote those sheets about what to expect after an ablation. No professional gave me any comparable helpful information about how I might feel afterwards. Anyway, this is week six and I’m worried that I’m going backwards. This week

Dialysis, what are the cons?
I'm a way off from having to have dialysis but am wondering about the cons of it. I know the pros but would like to hear from dialysis patients what it's like, the cons, the diet, labs, etc. Not really sure but I have a feeling that it's not as cozy or as simple as it looks to be. Also, maybe from

My rheumatologist treated me for a lupus flare as I had been in a similar situation years previous when first diagnosed with lupus. The dose of steroids did the trick and I was sent

Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be.

Maze + LLA closure?
I've been a forum member for several years with my afib stories. Now, I am scheduled to have open chest triple bypass surgery this January 2nd, a prospect causing much anxiety (not over the procedure, per se, but the lengthy recovery time. Anyway........ The surgeon told me he could give me a bargain

PSA for PCa Awareness month
There's an App called Nextdoor and they're pretty much in all the cities, even this lil town. I posted on it for men to get screened as a Public Service Announcement for PCa Awareness Month. Many don't know that it's in September, but a whole lot more know that October is Breast Ca Awareness month.

Ferritin levels
I have collected my blood test results and am looking for information before my g.p. follow up appointment tomorrow.I am under the impression that ferritin levels should be "optimum" in order for my B12 injections to work for pernicious anaemia.
