Rivaroxaban is not for me, or was it? Aches and pains getting very bad again after 3.5 days off Rivaroxaban.

Vasculitis (Churg-Strauss Syndrome) - my story so far .. 11 weeks on
I thought that I would share my recent, and still ongoing, experience of vasculitis which has made me realise just how fortunate I have been in getting a speedy diagnosis and first class treatment. (BTW: I have a degree in Physics so am used to doing tests and monitoring trends etc, so this write

AZATHIOPRINE AND SPIROLACTONE
Has anyone suffered from side effects of these drugs? I was put on them approx. 6 weeks ago and my tummy right under the diaphragm feels so bloated since then, I had a problem with Cellcept and had to stop them, but now I have this problem.

Hi, anyone else here with a diagnosis of Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia of Liver?
It would be good to hear from anyone else who is living with this condition. My partner was diagnosed after a massive bleed at home from oesophageal varices (that he was unaware he had!) 5 years ago. On admission to the emergency dept. of hospital, the blood loss and trauma to his body was so great that

Has anyone had a bad reaction to Spironolactone or experienced good results from furosemide?
I have cirrhosis due to childhood AIH, until quite recently I have managed to cope with the condition but have been told if my symptoms and acites get any worse I could be in need of a transplant. I am not responding too well to the diruetics and am feeling very anxious about the future. If anyone has

Weight gain from changing medication, please help......
My partner was on Myfortic Acid for 3 years before changing to Azathioprine. Around the same time she also changed her beta blocker from Atenolol to Bisoprolol. Approx 4months after these alterations in her medication she noticed that she had water retention around the chest and abdomen causing her weight
