Spironolactone Side Effects
A couple days ago there was a discussion about severe leg swelling due to heart failure. Several of you mentioned better results with Spironolactone than you had with Lasix. I plan to talk to my Dr about it. But can those of you using Spironolactone please let me know about any side effects or problems

Liver enzymes elevated
Hi everyone! I was diagnosed in 2019 and have been on mtx since then. Remicade was added in 2020 and I’m doing great on both of these meds. My most recent ALT was 129.

So, How do you Treat Addiction?
I have often mentioned on here what the difference between an alcohol addiction and a person who has an alcohol problem was. A person with a alcohol problem is basically drinking because they want to. A person with an Alcohol Addiction, is now drinking because they have to. I've recently found this
