Use of ED ring
Hi All, I'm a new member to this group so I apologise if this question is a common one. Due to health reasons (hypertension and side effects from meds) I have suffered from ED on and off for years for which I used Cialis (20mg) which was usually effective. However, couple of years ago I was diagnosed

Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
My GP prescribed me Pentasa for my Ulcerative Colitis. I took this for approx 10 years. My GP never requested any blood tests in this time. This medication was slowly killing off my kidney function. In 2017 I was admitted to hospital with a 9% kidney function. I stopped Pentasa and my kidneys improved

Confusing outcome from mitral valve repair
My 9 year old son underwent open heart surgery in March for mitral valve repair for servere regurgitation. They are still trying to find out what caused it, all they know is he’s had some sort of infection/inflammation of the valves some point. Can’t say how long ago but the valve leaflets were like

statins
hi, after annual blood tests, I have been told I am high risk for a heart attack, even tho cholesterol 4.5. And have to take atarvastatin, alongside Bisoprolol and Rivaroxoban and candesartan that I already take, does anyone else take these and do you have any side effects?

Gallbladder issues
I was just curious to see how many members had issues with their gallbladder? I know of two friends who have had kidney transplants and they both had their gallbladder removed previously. I myself had my gallbladder removed the same year I was diagnosed with kidney disease. I suffered with gallbladder

Statins and coffee
I've just a read a line in a piece supposedly in the Daily Express that says coffee might reduce the protective effects of statins. I don't drink lots of it - usually no more than 3 - 4 in a day plus a tea of ordinary instant coffee plus the occasional small ground coffee from a coffee shop, plus a normal

Follow up on my liver cancer HCC
Hi all, I have been on the craziest rollercoaster ride since January 2022. Had resection May 28, 2021. My cancer came back 8 months after surgery. Was referred to have a liver transplant evaluation. My case looked very promising to get a liver. Had to do a lot of prep including testing and interviews

Missing Posts
My daily BHF email listed several user posts, including 2 from people concerned about how their catching a certain virus might affect them, given their heart conditions. Those posts 'removed' by BHF. It seems odd to me that 2.5 years into this certain virus, it is still considered a tab oo subject

QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score
I’ve just had my annual round of blood tests and apart from one result which came up as abnormal (and has done for the past 25 years), all the other results which I received online appeared OK. I was a little surprised when I received a text asking me to make a non-urgent face to face appointment to

Long time no chat 😄
Well it’s been a while since I posted and what a journey I’ve been on. I try to keep it brief. I year ago I was told I’m steroid dependent. I carry and emergency injection kit of cortisone. I hope I never have to use it. I had a follow up cardiology appointment on January 4th this year. I was told I

Scary Open Heart Surgery with difficult decisions
So 6 weeks ago ago I had what seemed like a low level flue. After 2 weeks of not improving I went to the GP, and after some investigation he realised that my heart murmer had got worse, so combined with my other symptoms, he arranged for me to go straight to Basingstoke Hospital for a Treponin blood

Numb feet.
I had heart surgery two years ago and the surgeon made a right mess of things. I've discovered that I was bleeding heavily throughout my operation, presumably because my artery wasn't clamped off properly. It resulted in me having a stroke which paralysed an arm and a leg. After two months in hospital

Yikes Prescribed Praluent injection!
Hi. Statins give me bad muscle pain and as I have Fibromyalgia I think the pain is worse. I was referred to the Lipid clinic and put on Ezetimibe with 5mgs of Rosuvastatin but I couldnt cope so I took Ezetimibe on its own but my number only came down to 6.1. It had been 8.5. Now they want me

FINALLY
I am so thankful to those of you who wrote about the blanking period. I had never heard of that although I did realize that they would not consider my procedure of failure until three months and it could take 6 to 12 months to really have things kick in right. FINALLY I almost feel like me again. Of

Non driving gene mutation-ASXL1
I have MF with JAK2 V617F for 10 years, now is taking Ruxotinib and Interferon . Spleen contraction and blood control are good. Although I took a lot of hormones, at least my fibrosis degree has been reversed, and the mutation rate has also decreased a lot. But I was found I have a new bad prognosis
