CT scan at the start of anticoagulant treatment
Anticoagulant apixaban was prescribed for my mom (68 years old). Like any anticoagulants, there is a risk of internal bleeding, especially when someone had just begun the treatment. The doctor wasn't very chatty in explaining the risks. I was given a phone number to call in case of internal bleeding

Blood thinners and bleeding
Hello everyone -be grateful for your thoughts/ experiences on the following. I was diagnosed with P-Atrial Fibulation three years ago and put on Riveroxaban. Score was 2.5 for a stroke. My P-Afib is a consequence of sucessful cancer treatment. At first the blood thinner was fine but after a while it

Lung age?
My spirometry results, although a bit low, fit in the normal range, however my lung age is 15 years older. What causes this? I was a smoker, 30 plus years, I quit three years ago. I also had pulmonary emboli in both lungs in 2012 and was lucky to live apparently. No doubt there is damage in my lungs

Radiation proctitis
Have posted before but all treatments have failed to improve condition. I have severe rectal bleeding that requires blood transfusion and iron infusion. Quality of live is terrible. Often can’t leave the house due to bleeding that can last for hours. Feeling lost as to where to turn or who to turn

Wet macular degeneration, does it dry up for long?
I’m heading to my second Eylea injections shortly and was wondering how long the Eylea can dry it up for? I think my vision is improved a little so I’m wondering if there is a chance I won’t need further injections after the loading dose. Is it feasible to hope for this as an outcome?

Is there ANYTHING that does not Ameliorate Rotenone-Induced Parkinson's Disease in Rats?
Idebenone Ameliorates Rotenone-Induced Parkinson's Disease in Rats Through Decreasing Lipid Peroxidation 2021 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33247801/ I have some Idebenone. I bought it because they are trialing it to prevent RBD from turning into PD (or slow it down). I cut it from my stack a while

Zoloft
Finally after years of being afraid of judgment and horrible side effects, I’m allowing myself to seek more help and try medication. I was recently medically retired from the military and my depression and PTSD have been debilitating….I pray to God this helps me because I’ve barely been functioning.

Blood patches on skin
Has anyone had bleeds into the skin with Apixaban. I have patches of these ln my lower legs. They are starting to fade but it is a bit worrying Dr. Google says it could be a low platelet problem. Should I discuss it with my GP?

Steroid card
Hello all, This might seem a silly question, but I’m in the US and it seems doctors or pharmacies here have never heard of a blue steroid card, something that’s easily visible and universally recognized in an emergency? I know you can buy medic alert bracelets and such, or make a card yourself

MPN-U
Hi everyone I am a 72 year old female and a new member. I was diagnosed one year ago with ET by my hematologist , but after consulting with an MPN specialist my diagnosis was changed to PV. Now it seems I don't fit exactly into that category so I am MPN-U (unclassified). I've been on Hydroxyurea 500

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4469994/ Ambroxol is a mucoactive substance, so maybe these natural compounds in article are worth a try if you can’t get or don’t want to use ambroxol. Keywords: Mucins, Inflammation, cancer, natural compounds, Curcumin, Guggulsterone, Apigenin, Glycyrrhizin

Pulmonary embolism Treatment
Hi I’ve been diagnosed with APS as a result of having clots in the lungs (Pulmonary embolism). Current treatment is Apixaban (Eliquis) 5 mg tablet morning and night on going. I have been advised by my specialist that Eliquis may not be as effective as Warfarin. Was wondering if anyone had similar symptoms

Lupron Side Effects
I am having Lupron injections. I have been to my doctor- GP complaining about dull headaches and slow thinking. Could this be a side effect of Lupron? From Burnett 1948.
