It's back what supplements are ok?
Hi all, Budge up everyone, I need a place at the PMR table again. My last Pred was taken in December 2016 or so I thought. My osteo arthiritis flared a couple of weeks ago but after three days of Flarin it didn't calm down. I noticed after a while a few familiar shoulder twinges and booked a telephone

MS hug after contrast dye?
I've had more MRI's than I can count, both with and without, but today's didn't go too well. It was later in the day than usual, so I didn't get my standard afternoon nap. After the MRI was finished, I had a lot of trouble just sitting up on the bed. It was like my body was frozen in place. In a short

How fast can f2 fibrosis progress f4 cirrhosis?
Hello. I have another question; hoping someone can enlighten me. In 2019, F2 fibrosis with severe steatosis was diagnosed. Fast-forward to December 2021 and a fibroscan showed F4 cirrhosis. Can the liver degenerate that quickly? Either the initial 2019 assessment was underreporting or the December 2021

Cirrhosis’ of the Liver
On Friday my wife and I got so awful news that she has cirrhosis of her liver. it’s described as fatty, and scared the consultant said it is partially reversible. My wife is overweight with a BMI of 41.9🙁 We are going to Slimmers world every week. Any help and advice would really help.

Prednisolone Withdrawal Symptoms
I was taking 15mg of Prednisolone and was then put on 9mg of Budesonide at the same time with the idea of stopping Pred & staying on Bud. Trouble is they told me to stop Pred abruptly after one week without tapering. Last night & today I feel very, very rough. The only way to describe it is like I've

Nutritionist denial
Got my formal denial from Medicare for a nutritionist today. Liver was not covered even when asking for an exception, nor was liver transplant. Only things listed were; diabetes, kidney and transplant, weightloss. Nothing about heart although I know there is a heart diet and exercise program, I know
