induced coma
my brother was put into a coma due to alcohol withdrawal, he was having seizures they put him on a ventilator. Why isn’t he breathing on his own? Is it the medication they put him on to induce the coma or damage to lungs?

What causes autoimmune diseases?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpZhLQXp__g I don't often post Youtube videos but I was much impressed by this lecture by Dr Peter Osborne and felt the need to share it. This is quite a long lecture (1 hour 50 mins) by an expert in autoimmune diseases who has rather unconventional views on the subject

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

PIP when on oxygen 24/7
What a shocking past week! I've had COPD ( emphysema ) for several years but over the course of the last few weeks I've experienced a rapid decline in my breathing to the degree I could only walk a few metres before being totally out of breath. On Wednesday I attended a routine appointment at Sevenoaks

PSADT question...plus Xofigo and comorbidities
Hello, I am new to the site. This is my first post. I am mCRPC since 4/2022, and on abi/pred since then. My PSADT is now 2 months (44.55 on 6/1 to 96.28 on 8/4). I am waiting to be placed on Xofigo. Should I be panicking about this PSADT? Also most folks seem to be otherwise healthy.....do any

Orgovyx stopped woking.
Started orgovyx 2 months ago. PSA went from 35 to 5 in first month. Second month, PSA went from 5 to 8. This month PSA is 18. Looks like cancer is castrate resistant. Anyone else had this problem. If so what did your doc switch you to and how is it working for you? I talked to my doc today, he said he

HRT and Lupus

Post ablation (1 week) and back in AFib. How often is this likely to happen over next few weeks?
Have had PAF for a few years and this year episodes became lengthier and more frequent, the latest lasting 4 weeks. Had a Cryo-ablation last Tuesday at Lancashire Cardiac Centre and was ok for a week, albeit with a few spells of ectopic beats and a very short run of AF (30-40 seconds only). Went on

VETEBRAL PLASTY SURGERY FINALLY SCHED FOR NEXT WEEK
At long last. Vetebral surgery scheduled for Sept. 21.
PMRPRo,

Blood test help required
Hi all! Please could anyone advise me on my blood tests which were done as my hair is shedding like crazy. I have an underactive thyroid and about 8 weeks ago my GP increased my thyroxine to 200mcg as my TSH was 6 (she didn’t test anything else). Since the shedding has continued and I feel really tired

Decongestant ingredient in popular products does not work, FDA concludes

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Has anyone ever been told that ablation will not work for them?
Hi all i am quite baffled as to why private cardiologist has referred me to one of his colleagues for ablation. I have been told numerous times, by nhs cardiologists, that ablation will not work to treat my afib. If fact one previous doctor said, "Ablation is out of the question due to extent of enlarged
