Ascites Long Term
Hello All, I've had Ascites now for eighteen months. At first I confused the symptoms with a hernia that I had which has since been repaired. After a visit to my GP, he told me I had IBS and gave me some pills to alleviate that. Two weeks later I was back at the GP's. This time he examined me and said

Is this a lupus rash?
Does anyone think that this is a lupus rash. It keeps flaring up. This year I’ve had 2 courses of steroids. I am also on hydroxychloroquine which I’ve been on for 10 years now. In June I started on methotrexate. I have a phone call tomorrow with the rheumatologist nurse. Is it worth asking to see

Contrast echocardiogram booked
Hi there, My appointment has finally come through after a 6 months wait. Which I don't mind because I was told this at the beginning, so expectations have been met. Is there anyone out there that has had one? I know it's like an 3cho and they inject a contrast. They are looking for a whole in my heart

Overwhelming thoughts of death/dying
Hello, I really need some good reassurance. Today is the new year and since yesterday, I've had a feeling that I am going to die soon. I have NO reason to believe this health wise, but I've had multiple attacks about it today and I've cried a few times too. I have a 3 year old little boy I'm terrified

new on Flecainide
My afib started 11 years ago with one episode and then went silent for nearly six years . So for the first six years I was on low dose diltiazem and one standard aspirin. for the last four years I was put on Multaq and Eliquis. Multaq kept me in NSR for about a year and then progressively became ineffective

Amalgam fillings
Hi I’m just putting this question out there out of curiosity. I’ve not posted for a while so here goes… My cousin came to stay with me from Canada. He’s been concerned about my diagnosis for what I was originally told was rheumatoid arthritis. However they’re now calling it Undifferentiated inflammatory

Constipation
Hi helpful community. I am on 40 mg or prednisone for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the prednisone or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple

Flying whilst having an episode of AF
Morning This is my first post on this forum but I have found it really resssuring. I just wondered whether people had been on a flight whilst having an episode of AF? I am paroxysmal at the moment but have found that my episodes are lasting at least 2 days and then only getting 1 day respite before

Horrible way to start 2024
😞I was picking up something from the floor and as I turned around to put it back down, I felt a weird, constricted (knot) feeling in my upper tummy and chest. It felt strange in my throat too. I placed my fingers on the carotid artery and this is what I felt: beat, beat, beat, two quick beats, then

A tooth with a life of it's own!
Hi, all. I wrote in several months ago about a painful tooth. My dentist couldn't find anything wrong with it. He finally referred me to an endodontist, and he did a root canal. Found several issues. Would have been nice if that had been the end of it, but no! The pain would not go away, and I

This is perplexing - Coffee's effectiveness on Parkinson prevention
I drank a lot of coffee from my teens until diagnosis at age 48. Yet study after study appears to support the efficacy of coffee in Parkinsons prevention. https://neurosciencenews.com/caffeine-genetics-parkinsons-24920/

Waxing or hair removal when on Warfarin
Hi. I just had a mechanical valve replacement on the 16th of August 2023. I would like to get waxed. Is it possible to? I have never bled before warfarin. Are there other hair removal methods that are safer or can I stick to waxing?

bile ducts
I had a blood test few weeks back result was Alp 177and Alt 50. GP repeated them and they came back Alt 30, Alp 139 BUT GGT 105 which wasn’t tested previously. I paid to have an ultrasound scan which showed intrahepatic bile duct dilation of 3.6mm. Everything else was ok in terms of liver gall bladder

Ectopics scaring me, lasting longer than usual.
This past week, for 3 days, I had almost continuous ectopics and for the first time, they even lasted all night which really scared me. I went to the A&E, the ECG was "normal" but during the 4 hours I was there, the telemetry did pick up ectopics. The doctor said there was nothing to raise a red flag
