Cirrhosis just diagnosed loads of questions
Evening all. I was diagnosed today and whilst I was able to ask some questions I have loads more. I'd welcome any answers you might have. Is it usual for them to assume it is alcohol related? I ask because I did have a problem for a couple of years drinking 1 to 2 bottles of wine each day but I was

I am really fed up and can't live with edema (water retention) anymore. Does anyone has any thoughts to share about this?
I was untreated for hypothyroidism for years because my results were always more or less "normal". Instead I received all sorts of treatments for diseases I never had, just wasted time, money, health. I started retaining water year after I became ill. it was in 2009 and since then IT NEVER STOPPED. I

Spironolactone opinions
Just wondering your opinions on Spironolactone. I think this may be the drug my mum is taking along side Apixaban which is causing some of the worse problems. Any advice and personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Aching heart for a week now.
Hi, I'm new to this site so I will give a small insight into my heart condition. I was born with TOF (Tetralogy of Fallots). Unfortunately I was one of the old generation to have this so I've had further complications. I had my original repair in 1982 then in 1992 I had my first pulmonary valve replacement

Is Amiloride an effective alternative to Spironolactone in treatment of Ascites from liver disease
Hello All, I have been taking Bumetanide (1 mg daily) and Spironolactone which is a potassium conserving diuretic (200 mg daily) for cica 2 years and this is to control ascites that has resulted from my AIH and Cirrhosis. It works reasonably well although ascitic fluid still continues to accumulate

Furosemide and Spironolactone
Male 57 with HCM. After a AF episode in September 2015 I went through a range of tests that highlighted HCM. I'm awaiting implantation of a ICD and have been prescribed Furosemide (40mg) and Spironolactone (25mg) as diuretics. They seam to do the job but the side effects are quite debilitating. I'm

Dehydrated and tired all the time...
Hi I've been living with cirrhosis for around two and half years now and at the moment seem stable, scoring 7 on child push so just inside criteria for transplant but no need just yet. But I'm constantly feeling dehydrated and even after a good night's sleep (or so I think) I wake up feeling completely

Spironolactone Warning.
I thought this would be of interest to some of you. Owing to excessive fluid retention I was put on Spironolactone 25mg in September whilst in hospital, it seems this drug works alongside Furosemide to get rid of fluid. It went fine until early December, I started with tenderness in my Pectoral Muscles

Medication shortfall before appointment
My husband is seeing the cardiologist on Friday afternoon. However, all his medication that he was given on leaving hospital a month ago (Bisopralol, Apixaban, Digoxin, Spironolactone, Ramipril) all run out on Thursday morning. Does it matter that much for a few hours, assuming we will be able to get
