cirrhosis and edema / ascites
My partner diagnosed 22.12.21 with alcoholic cirrhosis stopped drinking on that date. Since then has been having 3 weekly drains and wasn't able to have diuretics due to low sodium. Was hospitalised last Friday due to extreme edema in feet, legs and scrotum. Has been on IV diuretics as sodium now OK

Diclofenac Sodium Gel (Voltaren Gel)
My RLS is aggravated and symptoms are increased when using Voltaren gel for my arthritic pain. Have anyone had similar experience with the anti-inflammatory gel?

edema - in testicles
We are waiting on a call back from the hospital. Partners edema getting worse by the day, now throughout legs and feet and testicles. He is in so much discomfort it is breaking my heart. He had to stop diuretics due to low sodium but last bloods showed sodium at normal (lowest end of normal) level

A List of Screening Tests For A High PSA
A 73 year old friend had a PSA test that came back @ 50 . He is not afraid, is cool and analytical. He can afford to have any out of pocket testing and treatment . He wants to understand the status of his prostate cancer before having any treatment. He is asking if there is a list of screening tests

Husbands collapse
Well I've just visited my husband again and the Dr says that his confused state may improve once I get him back to my daughters. She doesn't know if it will ease and she's not sure if it was caused by the sodium drop or something else going on. His blood tests aren't back from yesterday, but they're

IBS general: my experience
Taking one or two
Imodium
every week is sustainable, and is a simple remedy to a complex problem.

Has anyone with CLl dealt with Neuro Endocrine cancer (liver) as a second cancer?

I was tired but felt ok otherwise. Decided it was time for treatment. Gazyva and Venetaclex was the treatment recommended

please let me hear your positive stories re going from decompensated to compensated
My partner was diagnosed with cirrhosis in Dec and underwent a medical detox from alcohol. He was very poorly and remained in hospital for 3 weeks. Since then he has been eating well and not drinking. His bilirubin has come down from 256 to 60 and his blood platelets look good at 160. The doctors

Away for Easter
Well, my daughter persuaded me to drive me and my husband up to Yorkshire in our motorhome ( the very same one that dropped on my husbands head) to have a relaxing few days with them. I was excited that I'd managed it and looked forward to the lovely weekend, only it couldn't be like that for us. Husband
