Expectant parents with a CHD baby - help
Me and my wife are expecting our first child and at the 20 week scan we discovered that she has a hypoplastic aortic arch with associated VSD and as such will require open heart surgery soon after birth. I'm looking to speak with other parents who've dealt with a similar diagnosis to see what we can

Neuropathy treatments
Unfortunately as we all know, good treatment for neuropathy is generally poor. I've tried as most people have everything. The only way I control my feet neuropathy is plenty of walking icing and messaging with deep heat before bed. The only medication I take is ibuprofen - one table 400mg give me 50%

Using kidneys as an example here, health innovation must embrace i) nutrition - key in managing oxidative stress, inflammatory processes. electrolyte depletion, ii) breath techniques for self regulation, esp useful in hyper-tension/migraines/restless legs/pain) iii) movement - brain/

On the surface seems like a silver bullet to ensure the same doesn’t happen to me but struggling with the decision as I read lots of posts on here about side effects, also read lots of benefits to what perhaps is a super drug ensuring

Update and advice please - new blood results
So I started levothyroxine about 4 months ago. A couple of months at 25mg. Then onto 50mg. At the time my vit D was low at 22. And my cholesterol high at 8.1mmol and my triglycerides at 6.45. My endo put me on fenofibrate to bring the triglycerides down. My latest results attached. Please note,

Carrot and lentil soup spicy soup
Hi everyone, This is what I made for tonight as carrots are in season and I fancied a nice hearty soup. I cooked some baby carrots with a diced onion at the same time I cooked some red lentils and a little quinoa and then when it was all cooked I let it cool before blending it and adding cayenne pepper

Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly

Muscle weakness on Lupron/Zytiga
Lately I’ve been having awful weakness in my legs…l’ll get down on my knees to do something and I can’t get up without grabbing onto something to pull myself up. Is this normal for one or both of those drugs? Kind of worries me that my mobility could be affected. Thanks!

Checking pulse daily hugely beneficial
When my GP diagnosed AFib I was given Bisopropol 😔 swiftly changed to Nebivolol and Apixaban and for weeks I just felt rotten most of the time. I then subscribed to technology which gave me unlimited reports on what my heart was up to at any time of the day or night. Reports were consistently showing

Dronederone
Hi all Two months ago I was prescribed 400mg Dronederone twice daily to slow down the frequency of AF episodes and also their duration. These were coupled with 5mg Bisoprolol and my usual Apixiban. Sunday evening at 7pm an episode started and as I write Tuesday 11am still ongoing. So it would seem this
