raised AST (SGOT) levels and your history with CLL
when i was DX 7 years ago, my AST levels were at around 30. my oncologist hasn't said much about the fluctuations, which have gone up to 50 on occasion. so when i went to see my GP who worked in oncology in another country, told me that i have mild fatty liver, i was shocked as i was obviously unaware

Does Maxidex steroid add to Pred dose?
I had a new lens fitted on 2 April and have to use Dexamethasomex or Maxidex four times a day. Does this add to my total steroid intake with the Pred. Am on 10 mg after a flare and trying to get back to 7.5 as soon as possible. I also have a preventative asthma inhaler which is a steroid presumably

Possible relapse, trouble seeing Rheumatologist.
Hi, I have not posted in quite some time. Read other's mostly, and since I have been in remission for 7-8 years I have not had much I could add to conversation. I was diagnosed with GPA in 2015. Put on pred and mycophenolate initially, then two rounds of rituximab. I have been med free since 2016

Battling Outbreaks
Hi everyone, I suffer from outbreaks every once in awhile especially if I get sick. I only take valtrex as needed for the 3 days to suppress . Am currently in an asthma flare and already dealing with an outbreak and I need to take prednisone which usually gives me an outbreak. Not sure weather I should

advise required
I am blind in my left eye it has a pressure reading of 36. I am taking Maxidex and azopt which makes my eye sting. I use a heat pad after using the computer which helps . Can I use the heat pad before putting the eye drops in? will this reduce the stinging?

Problem with EBV
Hi all I have active EBV, but I can't take Lysine because it reduces my sleep-5,6 hours and I sleep very poorly by waking up several times during the night. My question is, is there anything else that can successfully replace Lysine. I've tried taking Valtrex, but I'm even worse off it, because it's

Valtrex vs Acyclovir
I have been taking valtrex when ever I get an outbreak. But lately I get rid of one outbreak another comes . Would it help if I switch to acyclovir to see if this works better ? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Preservative free eye drops
I have had a glaucoma diagnosis for many years. Last December I had a preserflow shunt inserted. Unfortunately, I developed post-operative endophthalmitis 8 weeks after surgery.

shingles and Covid at the same time
so I’ve been really stressed with work, a horrible accident my nephew was in, and just over all everything. So I’m not surprised I got shingles I am surprised I got Covid. I work in health care but I’m super careful and had 0 symptoms. I’m just wondering how hard this will hit my liver. I’m on Valtrex

Valtrex with Covid Vaccine
Recently I was diagnosed with HSV -2 . I had covid in June 2020. I am currently on valtrex. I am concerned that by getting the vaccine will cause me not to build up enough immunity to Covid because of the valtrex. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Burning Skin
I have been doing so well on NDT since February 2019 TSH - 0.46 (0.3 - 4.5) FT4 - 16.4 (12 - 22) FT3 - 5.7 (3.1 - 6.8) but on 28 April I was taken into hospital with quick onset glaucoma. I was given a drip to bring down the pressure that evening and had to go back the following morning for laser

Valtrex?
Hi everybody, I’m currently 2 months into O + V treatment; it’s going well, no side effects, bloodwork good. My doctor said I’m not at high risk, but he’ll prescribe me Valtrex as an anti-viral prophylaxis, twice a day, if I want him too. He’s okay either way. Hmm. Well, do I want him to? I dunno!

Any idea what this could be?
I’ve been told by the doctor genital herpes, however I’m not convinced as I’m on Zovirax cream and Valtrex tablets at the moment, but they don’t seem to be helping me. They itch but don’t hurt Thank you!

Ibrutnib
No. 4 years ago, I developed a bleeding problem while in ibrutinib and they were going to give me a different medicine. When they screened me for the new meducine, they discovered my cancer was gone, so, I didn’t need to continue with any cancer medicine. I do, though, get IVIG and I take Bactrim and
