Back home after spending 10 days in hospital after a TAK flare up.
Was admitted to hospital 10 days ago after a violent flare up from TAK. Screaming headaches, which led to some numbness down my temple, cheek and jaw and heavy arms and tingling in little fingers and chest pain. At first they thought I had had a stroke or a heart attack. Anyway after many scans and X-rays

Esld
I've had cirrhosis for a few years now. I've had 4 bleeds, the last one was gastric but the first 3 were oesophagal. The last one resulted in a TIPS procedure which i believe is a stent through the liver. Now been told i have esld and without wishing to ask a daft question, what is the likely outcome

Does a triple bypass mean you no longer have heart failure?
I had a heart attack and a stent fitted in 2015, pulmonary oedema in 2016 then a triple bypass in 2019. I attend the Heart Failure clinic and am having shortness of breath, aching legs due to oedema and still have angina. Am l considered disabled? I struggle in various areas.

KIDNEY STENTS
Hello Everyone This is my first post to the forum but I have accessed the site on most days for the past few months and I have been impressed with the empathy , honesty shown and the advice provided by the community. My stage 3C OC journey echoes that of many of the group. I was diagnosed in November

Exercise and PVC's
I had a heart attack, caused by a clot according to my cardiologist albeit I have clear coronary arteries and no sign of CAD in the main arteries. I do have slight disease in one of the minor arteries but it is too small to stent and my treatment is medication only. Prior to heart attack I was exercising

Retained pacing wires
I understand most people having CABG or valve surgery these days have pacing wires connected in case of heart block or Afib after the Op. I have found out that in my case the wires were cut at skin level and retained. However I have read that retaining them in the body can cause problems later on there

Heart medication and CBD oil
Hi - prior to my heart attack and stent placement I took CBD oil on a regular basis - 2-3 drops twice daily. I did sone research, joined a CBD group and am now a member of the admin team. Whilst taking CBD I was able to stop my pain meds and tapered and eventually came off my anti-depressant medication

Update
So I had my laparoscopic pyeloplasty and so far so good. The urology consultant that performed it also filmed my liver so that the hepatology consultants could have a look at it almost like seeing it in real life. During this operation the urologist confirmed that there is no ascites but confirmed
