Hi, I am an old time poster
Hi, I was a member of the dilated cardiomyopathy forum at BHF. I signed up there 10 years ago when my mother was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and left bundle branch block. There used to be a thread called "how long?". I wanted to post this there, but here I am. So, my 65 year old mother suddenly

Water tablet questions
My question is, I was on furosemide for my peripheral oedema but now I am on 200mg of
spironolactone
f9r Ascites. However, the
furosemide
has been stopped which was very effective for my legs, but the spironolactone doesn't seem to do very much.

Advice please
Hi. I have recently been told that I have subclinical Hypothyroidism with high antibodies. Plus :- B12 196 (197-771) Folate 2.1 (2.0-16.7) Ferritin 60.9 (13-150) The Endocrinologist suggested with my vegetarian diet that I ask my GP for a vitamin B12 injection with these results but the GP doesn't want

Oedema ignorance in NHS
The Publicly funded NHS has a problem with this potentially serious condition! My experience has shown me that it cannot provide the necessary care to treat it successfully in every case such as in mine and of coarse in any chronic fairly untreatable condition which of course everyone who is not in

A Newbie with LVF
Hi guys :) I am a complete newbie on here and I've only in the last 2 months been diagnosed with LVF and because of my "white coat" aversion to anything medical we are still awaiting my heart rate to reduce enough for them to be able to take consistent enough images from an echocardiogram. I am now

Blacked out without warning.
I blacked out without warning Sunday evening after going to the toilet, so because I am on Warfarin my husband called an ambulance to be on the safe side. I do not know how long I was "out" on the floor but I came round to see a paramedic looking down on me and asking all those questions you dont know

Fluid overload
Hi After some advise please. I am currently not on dialysis but had the first stage of my fistula done two weeks ago as my renal function is 7%. I seem to be struggling with 6 kilos of fluid overload. I follow 1 litre fluid restriction and take 160mg of furosemide. I've tried restricting myself to 750mls

Back On Spironolactone And Asking For Help
Many of you here know my story: I began drinking again due to stress after losing disability benefits (because I'm too clever to be disabled and entitled to PIP, apparently - even though I'm epileptic to the point that I am a danger to myself and others) and found that I was unable to stop. I didn't
