Mycophenolate trial?
Hi, I've been invited to take part in a drug trial of mycophenolate in early stage Limited Systemic Scleroderma. It's being overseen by Prof Denton and Royal Free/ UCLH. I understand the drop is commonly used for people receiving organ transplants and in the diffuse cutaneous form of Sac, but the trial

Erythritol has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death
Purified stevia leaf extracts (Truvia, PureVia, others) use this artificial sweetener and I was wondering how this would affect those on blood thinners, like Warfarin, who must maintain a certain pro time level. There was a study done in Cleveland and reported widely with some unexpected results. I

Stents - how many?
My father turned 80 last month and has 6 stents in his heart currently. His first very mild heart attack occurred in 2010 and since then over the years, he's had further mild episodes where he had to have these other stents put in.

Ticagrelor
I was prescribed Ticagrelor following open heart surgery in October. Last week I was hospitalised urgently suffering from Melena (black and tarry stools) caused by internal bleeding. Has anyone else had this? Please.

Puzzling symptoms while exercising beyond 20 minutes!
Hi everyone, I am a 42 year old man, always very slim and active, non-smoker, hoping to get your opinions about some puzzling symptoms I have been experiencing while doing moderate exercise (jogging fairly leisurely on treadmill). These manifest as a kind of unsteady, mildly dizzy "need-to-stop" kind

Never rains just pours….😡😡
Now being tested for rheumatoid arthritis due to extremely painful ankles, knee and wrists. Hopefully if positive this new addition to the family will get on well with my IPF but as long as the lung transplant can proceed I’m cool. 🤪🤪 Stay safe xx

Holter test delay
I have AF and heart failure. I am been treated by medication. I had a bad turn where my heart rate went down to 43. I contacted my cardiac nurse who halved the dose of Bisoprolol. He organised a holter monitor. That was the 7 of February still not had an appointment to be fitted. My nurse will not increase

Slow irregular heartbeat?
Was diagnosed with arrhythmia last autumn, currently on edoxaban, flecanide and bisoprolol. About 20 hours ago my heart started beating irregularly, it is still slow (about 50 bpm) and seems to be missing a beat every 3/4 beats. NHS111 yesterday advised going to A&E where they did ECG and blood

Medicare and Transplant
First off, ‘Hello’ to everyone. My husband will be having a kidney transplant on March 10. He just turned 60 years old and currently he’s on my insurance. I know that he can get on Medicare for the transplant surgery and three years post transplant. Does he have to sign up himself or is that done at

The return of AF
Well, 8 months after my ablation for AF , it has made its unwelcome return. I started by feeling an increasing burden of SVE’s then noticed a different feeling which when I checked on kardia, confirmed that I am constantly slipping between slow AF, supraventricular ectopics and normal rhythm. Whatever

aortic valve surgery
morning all, I have had open heart surgery 8 weeks ago to replace my aortic valve. I have a mechanical valve now which I can hear ticking/thudding. Few days ago I could notice , while lying down, a few skipped heartbeats, naturally I got a little worried and also panicked which made the matter worse
