INTENSIVE CARE - Covid-19
Hi all, My Dad is very sadly in intensive care on a ventilator with Covid-19. Very difficult as obviously can’t visit and reading the news and stats his prognosis is not good. I thought I’d read on here about other conditions with similar presentation in terms of what’s going on in ICU. He currently

Taking too many Rifaximin
Sorry if inappropriate and I know you cannot give medical advice but has anyone accidentally taken too many Rifaximin. Let me explain I have taken to putting my husband’s meds out in little pots morning lunchtime evening as I am at work all day and despite now working from home have kept the habit. I

Corona virus & fatty liver?
Please can someone help me by answering this. If I have non alcohol related fatty liver, does that mean I have liver disease and am at higher risk of getting the corona virus? Thank you.

Inconsistent swelling
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here. Please be easy on me! Anyway, I am a 40 year old girl with stage 4 cirrhosis. I really don't know how to wrap my head around it. I find myself feeling completely not believed or something? Did anyone else experience this? But, physically the most

Fatty liver reversal.
Happy Saturday everyone ! Can I just ask if any of you were successful in reversing alcoholic fatty liver disease ? I’ve been on a really good path for nearly 6 months (barr the odd glass) and hoping for good results in April 🤞September scan showed moderate fatty liver, no scarring or inflammation and

Protocols for initial fatty liver finding
As my husband was just diagnosed with cirrhosis he’s wondering if his GP should have counselled him on alcohol use when she noticed a fatty liver a year ago after bloodwork. I recently accessed an ultrasound he had three years ago after a fall and the fatty liver was noted on the report, yet he was never

WET AMD on a third world country
Hello, I'm from Philippines. I'm just 23 and I'm sure that I have a wet macular degeneration. On my left eye. It's totally dark or wavey on the central line.

Raised bilirubin and abdominal pain
Hi, So for just under a year now I’ve been having on and off mild to moderate abdominal pain just below my ribs on the right side. I’ve had numerous blood tests which have all show raised bilirubin. Ranging for 35 to 65umol. I’ve had an abdominal ultrasound Which came back normal. But the pain has still

Lungs
I have ALD and am currently on 50mg Spironolactone for ascites and 40mg Propanolol for varices. I keep getting slightly bubbly lungs when I lie down for a while and in the morning. Is this related to the ALD or entirely separate? Thanks. Wendy

Injections for life? Will health insurance or NHS pay?
I am "only" 53 and have needed to have 2 Eylea injections in my left eye to resolve a slight bleed. So far, so good, but I am wondering if I will need regular injections for the rest of my life? Has anyone else found that a few injections can stop the macular degeneration in its tracks? Also, will my

having one’s replies switched off
I was unaware I’d committed a contravention(!) and extremely relieved the only punishment was to have my replies switched off! If we’re splitting hairs about what constitutes natural, the only additives in the products prescribed to me by Dr Peatfield are: Each capsule contains: Bovine Thyroid Gland

Difference after injection between Lucentis & Eyelea
After having Lucentis injections monthly for most of the last 2 to 3 years it was felt that a switch to Eyelea might help. Had the second set of injections a couple of days ago and I feel that my eyesight is slightly worse after the injections which is not something I felt with the Lucentis injections
