Fluid restrictions ASCITES
My serum sodium is 137 mmol/L. Completely in normal range (133-146). I am taking spironolactone 300mg and furosemide 80mg. My question is how much do I need to restrict fluid intake for ascites due to cirrhosis?

Radium-223 + Xtandi?
I’ve been on chemo (cabazitaxel + carboplatin) since Jan 2022 and also on Zometa and Lupron. PSA went from 1.3 in Jan 2023 to 11.7 this month. CT and Bone scans show bone mets somewhat stable but with activity, all bone no soft tissue. PET PSMA earlier this year did not show enough tracer activity

Update #4: Adrenal Results
Strangely enough, my results are back. I spoke with the endo this evening who gave me his take. He thinks I have primary adrenal insufficiency, he believes this because my endogenous ACTH is suffice according to him. He sees my Aldosterone & Cortisol are both lacking and stated this is why my thyroid

Anti seizure tablets after brain haemorage
My wife has had a brain haemorage which after 12 months has resulted in her having some bad seizures. The Sodium Valporate anti seizure tablets she is taking now have really knocked her off her feet and she has difficulty standing up. She is changing to lacosamide in the hope that it will have less side

Swollen ankle and foot
I have HF and my ankle and foot are a bit swollen and legs feel sore. I am putting it down to the hot weather. I'm raising my feet in bed and drinking my 2 litres max and maybe a little more. Going for a lukewarm Epsom salts bath. Any other tips?

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have suffered from Restless Legs Syndrome for many years. I recently had a major operation to remove an extremely large polyp from my bowel. My bowel has been reduced by app. 25%. My previous doctor prescribed Pregabalin 125 mg. He said that he would not prescribe a higher dose because of the dangers

Daytime RLS
Does anyone have any advice on dealing with RLS during the day? I take 300mg of Pregabalin at night, which helps at night (normally). Recently, the RLS is coming back very badly around lunchtime, and lasts all afternoon, every day, without respite. As you can imagine, it is affecting me pretty badly

So many questions ??
I am 71 years old, weigh 8 stone, generally fit and healthy. I have probably had RLS for many years causing the occasional sleepless night or restless evening in the chair. I had my first prolonged nighttime episode last November which lasted a few nights. Nothing since except tingling in my left leg

GP’s and meds (Losartan and Lercanadipine) !!
I despair! the surgery advised me on Monday that they thought the Losartan was causing a decrease in my sodium level (127). They suggested I try Lercanadipine instead. I took the first one this morning and my pulse rate went mad all morning and my BP dropped quite a bit. I contacted the surgery &

Kidneys affected by Hydroxyurea?
Was admitted to hospital last week due to severely low sodium levels and creatinine levels were way off normal. Admitting diagnosis was acute kidney failure. Nephrologists were not sure what was causing the change in my kidney’s health. They wondered if the Hydroxyurea could be playing a part

Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active Iron 25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

Encouraged but a little confused about UKELD
Apologies for the long post but I just had a reply to my queries about recent blood tests because I didn't have all the test numbers in my consultant letter to my GP in order to calculate MELD / UKELD. He wrote this which I was mostly encouraged by but also a little puzzled - how is EVERYONE 49 on UKELD

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be
