Prescribed medication
I take several prescribed medications and very often wonder if any of them make my rls/plmd worse, does anybody know. They are Lansoprazole, Atorvastatin , Spironolactone, Candesartan and Clopidogrel. I almost rattle!! I'm sure they don't help but do any of them positively make things worse as I really

cramps and other side effects of spironolactone
I had been taking
furosemide
and losartan for a while when I was suddenly prescribed
spironolactone
by a heart nurse without reason, not even a blood test that indicated I needed this. I asked what it was and why I was being prescribed it. The answer was 'its good for the heart.'

Curious
My GP sent me for an ECG 7 years ago. He got the result, showing that I had 3 mildly leaking heart valves and 2 dilated chambers, one mild and one severe. He told me about the third leaking valve, as I already knew about two but did not mention the dilated chambers. Five years later, when I had pain

Anyone take CellCept for CKD Stage 4 and autoimmune disease?
Hi, I saw the nephrologist for the first time yesterday. He told me I have Stage 4 as my diagnosis. My GFR was 29 a couple months ago but it was 35 just 5 months ago. The Dr. said at this point it drops fast and can't be stopped from progressing downward. Not encouraging news but he was very nice

Poor Circulation- does anyone else have this issue?
I have been having issues with the circulation to my hands and feet for a couple of years’ now. I only see my feet before I get dressed in the morning and after I undress in the evening but at those times they always look a very unhealthy shade of purple. My hands vary throughout the day and sometimes

Return of the Duck - Revenge of the Beak
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears ............ not literally as that could get rather messy. I'm sure that you have all missed me, like a verruca.

Fed up with Hypertension
I have lived with what's known as essential Hypertension for 29 years. I have had lots of investigations medically but to no avail, I appear to just have it genetically. What's always worried me is that despite being on a raft of medication my blood pressure only goes down an hr after I've taken said

Bumetanide in combination with Furosemide?
My husband was on Furosemide with Spironlactone but swelling in legs not improving, on a phone call the Cardiologist changed the prescription to Bumetanide. That didn’t improve it, GP then reduced the Bumetanide and we thought he said to add Spironlactone back in, but no prescription came so we checked
