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

Tension Pneumonthorax
3 weeks ago I went to have a bronchoscopy and they took a sample off my right lung and air brushed my left and my left lung collapsed I have been told it might be because the lung had a lot of emphysema so im waiting to have a scan on my lungs. It was very freighting as I couldn't breathe and they had

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

Signed off!
I haven't posted on here for a while, simply because I've been AF free now for 14 months since the ablation. I saw my consultant for the last time this morning and we discussed the whole anticoagulation issue again. This was my final chance to come off them and with a CHADsVasc of 1 (being female),

Taking Fragmin whilst on Warfarin
I have been given 1ml syringes of Fragmin for use in emergency. My Consultant said to take it if my INR drops below 2.0. At the moment it's 2.7 and I feel awful. I have never taken the Fragmin as a bit nervous it may thin my blood too much whilst I'm trying to raise my INR. I feel so bad just now and

Different perspective on Vitamin A
Hi all, a while back i paid for a health download from an American nutritionist and now get bombarded with newsletters and sales pitches from various U.S. health practitioners.

COPD - Feeling cold
Hi everyone. My partner has been diagnosed with stage 3 COPD. We do not have good support from our GP so are learning as we go along. The last few days Peter has been extremely cold. There is no reason for this , weather is warm and warm inside house. Is this a symptom of COPD and if so why? I value

Back from vacation
Well, my family and I just returned from a week of camping. It was nice. Had follow up with Dr. He said if I have COPD, it's probably mild, but he's thinking maybe some type of asthmatic component. Breathing still sucks... can't breath deep, only shallow. Changed my med again, now on Dulera twice

Survived a Pulmonary Embolism and scared!
I am a 40 year old woman who was diagnosed with multiple clots in the arteries to both lungs back in February. After 2 weeks in hospital, I was discharged and am on warfarin for life as the cause of the emboli remains unknown. Life has been a rollercoaster ever since! I was given very little information

Heparin
Hi all, to anyone who is having heparin injections, do you find that you have lots of lumps under the skin? I've been using arnica cream but it doesn't really help. Can anyone recommend anything else?. Thanks elfie.

Legs weakness
Good morning to every one. I would like to ask if having emphysema has any thing to do with legs weakness. I have nearly gone over a few time, but this morning they gave up on me. I went like a bag of spuds. I also get red hot feet and ice cold feet, I had my spine fixed in 2000. So I thought me legs
