Oily, flaky, or inflamed skin
With Parkinson’s, it’s common for the skin on your face to become very oily, especially on your forehead and on the sides of your nose (this is known as seborrhea). You may also notice that your eyebrows and scalp get oily too, resulting in flaky skin (dandruff). It’s also fairly common to experience

stents for the elderly
Dad had a heart attack back in January. He's 88 yrs old. While in hospital he was offered to take part in a trial and have stents placed. He hadn't much time to think about it but decided not to have it done considering the risks attached. Following a reasonable recovery he's now started suffering tiredness

Nighttime angina
I have mild ischaemic heart disease and had occasional exercise-related attacks of angina which now seem well-controlled on Nicorandil 10mg, half-tablet am and pm. A few months ago, I had surgery on a badly-broken femur, and a number of temporary medications including morphine and codeine. Since then

Interferons as the First Choice of Cytoreduction in ET and PV
»Interferons are a group of cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and were the first immune therapies used in the treatment of cancers, including hematologic malignancies. Use of standard interferon alfa-2b for MPN treatment has been limited by its difficulty in administration and adverse effect

Heart attack I didn’t know about?
I’ve just come back from seeing my cardiologist who said I’m doing pretty well following my quadruple CABG 6 weeks ago but wants me to do some stress tests because I’ve used my gtn a couple of time since. The big thing is now we had time to chat as my surgery was pushed through really quickly following

LAD Bypassed then Native LAD Stented
Hello just wondering if anyone else has had this procedure. My LAD was bypassed in 2015 and in 2018 was stented through the bypass to increase the blood flow. After some real shortness of breath on exertion and arm pain my Cardiologist carried out an Angiogram to see what was going on. He decided

Withholding poo 💩
Hi, My son holds in his poo. He is on 4 movicol (he is 5 yo) but it makes no difference. He keeps holding it in. His stools are not hard or dry, it is mushy. He had an impaction last year that required hospitalisation. I am terrified it will happen again, or that he will slacken/stretch his bowels

Coronary artery restenosis problems
I am 78, male and have multiple health problems including asthma, COPD, diabetes, Barrett’s oesophagus, and osteoporosis. The most life threatening condition, however, is rapid resentosis in coronary artery stents. This first stents were inserted in November 2020, and restenosis started in December

Problem with liquid levothyroxine?
Hi, I was prescribed liquid levo in July last year. I have been much better on it than I ever was on tablets. I have reduced my liothyronine from 60mcg a day to 47.5mcg as I became hyper. I have always had a lot of head aches but they have become more frequent and more severe over the last few months

GTN? What to expect.
I’ve been getting a chest pain since 1998, when I was blue-lighted to hospital, spent 5 days there having tests and then sent home after an angiogram gave me the all clear. I’ve described the pain to doctors who say it’s just like a heart attack and if it ever lasts for longer than usual I should call

Should I see a councillor
Hi all I’m 3 weeks post quadruple bypass which came out of the blue and was a total shock. Then last Tuesday it looks like I had a post surgery HT. The mental side kicked in from almost the start which is something I have never suffer with, I thought I’d be over it now but I’m still having tearful times
