Co-vid 19 - third week in ICU for Mum
My Mum has been in ICU ventilated, and at some points on dialysis, for 17 days now. She is off antibiotics and medicine for her blood pressure at the moment. Last week she seemed to be making some progress on being weaned from the ventilation and sedation, but the doctors now seems to think they will

CoQ10 and platelets! Important info!
Once again there’s a weather change from hot to cold, it’s windy and I have trouble sleeping great time to research! 🙂 I found here that in human testing CoQ10 has actually reduced platelet size, aggregation, stabilizes cell membranes and also: “Platelet aggregation plays an important role in the development

Apixaban with provoked DVT
Hi everyone, hope you’re all safe and healthy in these crazy times. I am looking for other people’s experience with provoked DVT and if finishing taking blood thinners after 3 months caused any issues. I was given 3 months of Apixaban (another 2 weeks to go) and the haematologist said during my appointment

Diabetic Macular Edema
I started having eye problems and told my doctor who just said it was my age! I knew it was happening too quickly and went to see an optician who gave me a digital retinal scan and told me I have Macular Edema and referred me to hospital in December. I finally saw the specialist mid March and he

C-PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, multiple tbi's
After a very long journey I wanted to share how I manage all of my diagnosis. 5 minutes at a time, I tell myself in 5 minutes I can give in to the anxiety, do whatever I need to do but I have to wait 5 minutes. Sometimes that's how I spend a whole day. In 5 minute increments but it works and it helps

PTSD help and advice
Hey everyone, I've had a fairly recent diagnosis of PTSD and I was going through cognitive behavioural therapy. I noticed that this completely changed my behaviour and my feelings towards my direct family members. I absolutely cannot face going through this kind of therapy again, I know it makes

A bad night, a morning run and how running brings a little magic in to our lives! ✨🙂
I posted this on the 'Bridge to 10k' forum after my run yesterday but thought it would be good to post it here as well - just to show that we can all struggle with getting out the door sometimes, even those of us who graduated several years ago...! I know many of us get these little blips - especially

COVID: doesn't wake up from induced coma
My mom is 55y and has covid. She was put on ventilator since 31th of March. They turned off her sedation on 15th of April and she still didn't wake up. She has her eyes open but that's all. They said her lungs are better, she make dialysis every other day because her kidneys are not working properly

Is your child on 29mg senna too?
Hi, our lb is 6 and it's been along road of constipation and disimpactions for us. His paedeatrician has upped his senna to 20mg as his still has no sensation. We're reducing the cosmacol (macrogol) to balance this but he's soiling multiple times a day. He couldn't go to school even if they were open

Is xarelto better or worse then eliquis?
I was given xarelto for a dvt but I’m wondering what is the better blood thinner to take xarelto or eliquis? My doctor said I could take either. Has anyone had bad experiences with either? I’m scared to take it but I know I have to.

Covid coverage triggering
Hi all, I hope you are staying as safe & well as can be in these scary times. I was just wondering whether anyone else is finding all of the coverage on TV regarding Covid quite triggering? It is of course very important that it is visible on TV for everybody to see what is going on in hospitals and

Hi all, I had my first anti VEGF injection yesterday and I was wondering if it is normal that your vision becomes blurry after the injection and how long it last for? Thanks in advance

The Haemothromb Test®
I am a UK citizen living in Hungary with two ablations under my belt (6 years apart). I currently take Pradaxa as the anticoagulant but am considering returning to warfarin. I was researching INR self testing machines when I came across this INR test - The Haemothromb Test®. I will investigate it further

Food parcels
Good morning. I have registered with the Government website and they have given my name to the supermarkets and so ASDA have now given me a regular weekly home delivery slot. Great. However, the government site must link into these weekly food parcels that DEFRA are doing and so today I've had a box

COVID-19 & Abnormal Coagulation.
Recent papers below. As some will know, I am very interested in PCa-related coagulation. I believe that control of microclots may prevent metastasis (& further mets in those who have some.) Clot control can also prevent DVTs & fatal pulmonary embolisms. The D-dimer test is very useful when a clot is

Anyone else have INR readings like this?
This constant swinging is ruining my life. It makes me so ill. Getting very down and depressed. My diet is as advised. I’m Lupus anticoagulant positive. Here is a graph of this months readings, last 4 tests. It has been suggested that maybe I don’t metabolise vit K properly. Anyone had that problem?

Are we allowed to take vitamin D supplements alongside medications such as warfarin and hydroxycarbamide?
It seems Vitamin D is being recommended and I wondered if it's safe to take them alongside existing medications? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52371688
