Support for husband having triple heart bypass in February 2024
My husband had a heart attack in August 2023. When stenting his artery, surgeons said another artery needed attention. They tried to stent 5 days later but couldn't and he was put on the waiting list for a bypass. This is scheduled for mid February. He's only 65, fit - but a Type 1 diabetic. He's terrified

Cirrhosis and very scared - please help!
Hi. I'm so glad I stumbled on this site and I'm hoping that someone could be kind enough to reach out to me? I'm so very, very scared, and it's all my own fault. I have suffered from an anxiety disorder for 15 - 20 years and used wine to cope....and lots of it. I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis

RB-190 - A drug repurposed - for Parkinsons
There is hope! A drug repurposed for Parkinsons may become a game changer. Dr. Jonathan Sackner-Bernstein is working on a clinical trial (stage 2) for a repurposed drug for Parkinsons patients. He says, and all Parkinson's neurologists know that Parkinsons patients have little dopamine in their brains

PSA Rising and Falling during Chemo
I have been receiving chemotherapy since November 2023. Started with Docetaxel until it failed after 7 cycles. Switched to Cabazitaxel and currently on the 5th cycle. Since starting the Cabazitaxil my PSA has been raising and lowering. I am currently having some scans done to confirm if there is progression

Visual issues; feedback on meetings with the RNIB. 1 good and 2 bad.
Contacted the RNIB and arranged two phone meetings, one with an optometrist and the other with a sight technology expert. Lets start with the bad, visual conditions. The RNIB have no expertise with visual issues after a brain injury. The page on their site about visual issues after stroke is just for

New fatty liver diagnosis
Hi All, today I had a fibro scan which revealed that my liver has no scarring with a score of 3.9kpa which was good news, however, the cap score was 307 which was worrying. I gave up alcohol 6 months ago following an attack of acute pancreatitis and being hospitalised for 4 days, this event was enough

Something I forgot to mention
I wrote about Toprol (Metoprol) a few minutes ago. I forgot to mention that I also take Flecainide, 100 mg. twice a day.

Really good news
I just wanted to share my story in case it helps others. In December last year I had an ultrasound scan and the results were probable cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension and varices. There were also "suspicious lesions". Fast Forward to a biopsy I had last month (following over six months of abstinence

Back/pelvis/hip pain?
A month or 2 ago, I got a new dog, he's bigger than my previous dog and he pulls on the lead. And I got stressed adapting to the change. Somewhere soon after that I picked up a bug, and the PMR "buzzing" in my shoulders, arms and calves popped back. Not really painful but aware of "the bucket" I stopped

Does this sound right? Any advice appreciated.
My dad, 82 yo male had a previous PSA score that hovered around 3 and then went up to 5. Had MRI/CT which came up clear last year and a prostate biopsy (11 samples, noted prostatitis and BPH) in September last year which was also clear. Took PSA again in December 2023, it jumped to 15. Took PSA in February

Rasagiline and Mucuna together?
My MDS is a huge fan of rasagiline and I’ve taken it for almost 3 years, and want to continue to take Mucuna and carbidopa as needed along with it. I've read that Mucuna should not be taken with rasagiline. Is there any truth to this? I’m not going to stop taking rasagiline, and I’d rather not start

Just a quick question.
Hi everyone and thanks for all your help so far. As the chemo has now stopped working for Martin we are looking for any other options that might be available to give him more time. His MO has organised a liquid biopsy to see if there are any mutations that could be treated, which might help. We
