Macular oedema and steroids
I have diabetic macular oedema and my opthamologist said today that although my eyes are not getting any worse my right eye maybe needs some laser. She said she thought it wasn’t the diabetes that was the problem, I am in remission with a hba1c of 37 but the steroids. Any thoughts on this please. My

Tacrolimus?
Hi guys, Can anyone tell me if 14mg of tacrolimus everyday after 3 months post transplant is normal? I know from other consultants that I have slight rejection. I have 1 consultant who will not give me an answer to "what are my blood results". He says everything is fine and there is nothing to worry

Anyone’s gfr from their labs differ from gfr calculators?
My labs show a different gfr than what the calculators show. Is it bc there’s other blood related factors that get equated? Bc my creatinine has remained at 1.10 and bun 20 for over 10 years but over the years my blood labs show my gfr going from 96-70 in about 10 years. Note I didn’t get labs done

ACR results
So I'm so confused lol I phoned the gp who's receptionist told me my urine microalbumin level was 3 and satisfactory. I went and got a print out and infact my microalbumin was <3 mg/l which I'm gathering is good. My urine creatinine was 3.5mmol/L but there were no ranges so I'm not sure if that's good

An association between low T3 and cardiac disorders. They appear to very responsibly avoid unwarranted conclusions - which came first? - but at least the question is being asked. [i] • Open Access • Published: 08 November 2021

Has anyone tried oxymorphone?
Hi, has anyone here tried oxymorphone for RLS? oxymorphone is similar to oxycodone but with much less sleeping difficulties in comparison with oxycodone. I have been doing extensive research for an opioid which exerts less sleeping difficulties because the oxycodone I am taking gives me severe insomnia
