The "Sally Painting Story"
For many people, the name Sally Painting may be unknown. But Sally was an inspiration for so many people. She was the first-ever liver transplant patient to later become a nurse. She even worked on the same liver ward at the QE Hospital, Birmingham where she was once a patient. At the age of 13, Sally

Liver Transplant – Letter to Donor family – totally gutted.
I had my liver transplant back in 2016 due to alcohol abuse and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. For a good 10-months post-transplant, I suffered terribly with survivors guilt and PTSD. I honestly felt that writing that letter to the donor family was an honest reflection of my gratitude. It helped me to deal

DNA mutations impacting liver disease patients identified by Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
From time to time I like to post up any interesting liver research that’s recently been concluded, that may be of interest to others. When I developed end-stage liver disease back in 2015, I became diabetic. No one could tell me why, or even which type of diabetes I had. The diabetic doctor told me it

No question it was the strong orgasm as I experienced strong heart abnormal beats like your heart was going

Antibody infusions?
I know a young man in my community who received a kidney transplant a few years ago. I have heard thru mutual friends that he has been diagnosed with covid and in the hospital not doing too well. Anyway, this brings me to think about treatments...are transplant patients able to get the antibody infusions

Getting off Verapamil
After 2nd ablation for SVT, I had AFib episodes. Cardiologist said I could take Verapamil and if this did not stop Afib, could add Flecainide. I was told for the SVT ablation blanking period 1 week. I concluded 3 months more appropriate and decided to take 180 mg Verapamil sustained release once/day

Anyone have ablation for asymptomatic afib/aflutter?
Hi. I appreciate the great answers and support from my previous question on this forum. I know the main reason for ablation is to eiminate afib, improve QoL and hopefully get off of the meds. This may be a stupid question but are there many people with asymptomatic afib/aflutter and heartrate of 70-
