Blood thinner options...
Diagnosed earlier this year. Working my way through due to uncomfortable physical side effects.... (Done edoxaban, rivaroxaban) on 5mg 2 x daily now. Does it follow that Apixaban if twice daily , is a lower dose therefore, more gentle on your stomach and your system? Wondering if there is ever truly

Glioblastoma and Parkinson's; hereditary?
My mom was diagnosed with gliblastoma (brain cancer) in 2000. I was diagnosed with PD in 2015, If I understand it correctly, the folloing article indicates both conditions apparently can involve the same set of genes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7468383/ I am wondering if I might

My fiancé suffered a major stroke two weeks ago a day after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation which caused two blood clots. He was in Addenbrooke’s for six days where the doctor told me if he survived this as it’s likely he could have another stroke that he would end up in a care home. I’m absolutely

Selegiline - Noticeably improved symptoms
My new neurologist started me on Selegiline 10 mg/day. In two weeks I reduced my Sinemet from two pills per day to one. My tremor is much calmer and I feel more clear. So far no negative side effects and I take the first 5 mg on an empty stomach.

In the last year I have lost weight by around 3.5 kg I went to a nutritionist because of the weight loss and, in particular, the loss of muscle mass.In addition to a diet and the recommendation to continue going to the gym twice a week for bodybuilding,

Heart bypass surgery
I had a heart attack almost 10 years ago and last week suffered another minor attack. I am currently in hospital as I had an angiogram but due to the extent of my heart disease I have been recommended for bypass surgery (subject to satisfactory scans etc). I have never had serious surgery like this before

overdose
I was diagnosed Feb 1 2024. Is it possible to overdose on Co-Beneldopa 200 MG. I take three doses a day [3 x 200 mg]. I try to take them at 8-hour intervals but often screw up, as my memory is so bad. Any side effects of Co-Beneldopa?

Burning pain in thigh
last night I woke with a sharp burning pain in my thigh, it felt like a hot knife. As I went to move my leg it spasms and pain became intense. This lasted for about 20 mins. Even today I still get the odd niggling pain again feeling hot. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks

The whites of your eyes?
Sorry to bother but these last several days the whites of my eyes are grayish and bloodshot when I wake. Not yellow though. They get better as the day goes on but its curious to me and slightly worrisome. Will be weeks before I can see my liver dr. Has anyone else had this? Is it a common side effect
