DOAC - changes
Some time ago, I started Rivaroxaban but stopped due to side effects. Was switched to Apixaban but had more (different) side effects from that. My GP was very helpful and suggested Edoxaban. It appears that the choice of DOAC is as much random rather than individually considered for the patient! At

Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

AF with Bisoprolol
I have been switched from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol because Disopyramide was out of stock. I am now in AF and while Bisoprolol seems to be constraining my Heart Rate, I have been in AF nearly all day, and it’s not great. With Disopyramide twice a day, the next dose would resolve any AF, the Bisoprolol

Things, regimens,etc that are probably RLS worthless.
THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK FOR RLS All of us with RLS/PLMD have slightly different symptoms. We have tried various 'remedies' to try to relieve our RLS symptoms. We have read articles, some interesting, some ridiculous (bar of soap) that make amazing promises. And there is an entire array of things to

IBS Flare up
Good afternoon to everyone. I've had IBS-D for many years and I've been able to cope and manage it so far. But since October 2023, I had a major flare up, it was getting to the point where I was struggling to work and general daily activities. Was constantly on the toliet. It was that bad that I went

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any cataract surgery while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have cataract surgery. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Double vision episode
Just had one. First since November 2021. Then I was on high dose pred for GCA, coming down. Continued to taper quite successfully, eventually to zero in November 2022. But PMR followed, so went onto 15mg pred, tapering again quite successfully. Down to 5 mg since 6th February. Clearly no blood test

A shunt or not?
has anyone had the experience of having a shunt put in their eye for glaucoma at the same time as a cataract operation? I’ve had one very successful cataract operation and I’m about to have the second. The consultant wants to put in a shunt as the pressure in that eye is 22, Have never had any

Fibro and Sjogrens
Hi all, I've been diagnosed with fibro for 8 years, but for last few months I've felt so much worse, with new symptoms of really painful dry red eyes, extremely dry mouth, dry skin with rashes and dry cough, and increased pain and fatigue. My gp says it's sjogrens, an autoimmune disease, and referred
