Ablation
Wonder if anyone can help I am having a ablation on 9th October I take rivaroxaban and have been told to carry on taking it. Reading one of the other posts they say most hospitals will only carry out procedure if you are on warfarin should I be worried ? Rob.

COPD research in Derbyshire
I’ve been approached by a postgraduate research student, Karen, at Keele University. She is doing a research project into the ways in which men in semi-rural towns, aged 55 and over, look after themselves when they are diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study will take

Prolonged TV watching linked to fatal Pulmonary Embolisms
Not CLL related, but I wouldn't count on our tendency to have lower platelet counts to protect us from this risk, which can be overcome by not staying inactive for lengthy periods of time. [i]'Results of a large study suggest that watching television for prolonged periods may increase a person’s risk

Shortness of breath with hiatus hernia?
Hi - I've been struggling to get an answer for my chronic shortness of breath for about 6 weeks now. I've had (mistaken) diagnosis of COPD, anxiety, angina and GERD. Now, the docs are making me self inject a blood thinner until I can get a CT scan on Monday as they think I could have a pulmonary embolism

Flu Vaccine and anticoagulants
I went into Boots for my flu vaccine, and paid for it as I was told NHS did not know when they would be ready yet ( I had no prob last year). Since last year I have been taking Dabigatran. After quite a wait I was finally told that I would need to have it subcutaneously but that the pharmacists had

Fragmin dosage query
I am currently using fragmin, the dosage being 18,000. At a haematology appointment last week, the consultant suggested at my next appointment reviewing the dosage and maybe looking to reduce it. Whilst my consultant is not an APS specialist, they do have some experience of the condition and they are

Flu jab
Have been reading a couple of posts about the difficulty of overcoming hib flu (not sure if thats right). I routinely have the flu jab, but wonder if we can be protected from this hib bug?

Pft test
Hi, this week I began using inhalers and the doctor gave me a pulmonary function test which showed in the normal range. I used my inhalers prior to the test. However in Boston hospital the pulmonary function test was poor but I hadn't used any inhalers. Do inhalers make that much of a difference? Should

Goody...!
Susie has given me another kitten! We took Eilis in this afternoon 'cos she had one of her nails growing into the pad of her paw...Susie cut it off and gave her a shot of anti-biotics...it's horribly swollen and oozing pus. Was fine first thing this morning...amazing how quickly it turned nasty. Anyway
