Amlodipine
Hello everyone, I realise this may not be relevant on this site, but I’ve been struggling with palpitations and anxiety for a few months. I had put this down (see previous posts) to the adrenals not wanting to play ball after their nice long holiday, due to Pred, but it suddenly dawned on me that this

APS or sticky blood syndrome

NHS black box warnings for anticoagulants…..
Just seeking some guidance. I’ve been a member of this forum since 2014 and I can only ever recall seeing two very recent member references to black box warnings for anticoagulants in general and Apixaban in particular. This prompted me to type this header into the search box at the top of this page

hip replacement & taking Flecainide 150mg x 2
Hi everyone - I have been on Flecainide 150mg twice daily for nearly a year now (increased from 100mg x 2) and thus far the A.F episodes (17 in 2022) have ceased. My problem now is I am facing the prospect of hip replacement surgery & wonder if anyone else has experienced this and did they have to stop

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

Regular care
I was diagnosed with AF around four years ago now, by a cardiologist in a major teaching hospital. I was put on anticoagulants and referred back to my GP. The local surgery check my meds yearly and I have an annual blood test, but that’s it. I am wondering whether I should ask to be referred back to

Quick Question re. Taking Hydroxycarbamide.
Hi everyone, just to ask those of you with ET and taking HU, when taking two 500 mg capsules in a day, do you take them both together or at separate times in the day? Since my last post I have been back on my usual dose of 500 mg a day for 7 days, but after two weeks of taking this dose my platelets

United States APS Doctor Specialist List
I had one thrombosis event (CRVO) in May 2022 and then was diagnosed with APS shortly thereafter. I have only been on aspirin, which was input from an ophthalmologist, a hematologist, and a vascular specialist. Now the hematologist wants me to go on Warfarin. I have concluded that this hematologist

Warfarin to Edoxaban
I have for the last few months been prescribed 60mg Edoxaban after 10 years of taking Warfarin after a DVT and PE. This due to my GP surgery merger with a bigger practice. Warfarin was my only option in 2013 before these new drugs became available. I'm told it's safer and no INR blood tests. I'd like

Waxing or hair removal when on Warfarin
Hi. I just had a mechanical valve replacement on the 16th of August 2023. I would like to get waxed. Is it possible to? I have never bled before warfarin. Are there other hair removal methods that are safer or can I stick to waxing?

Quantiferon TB Golf test before starting Actemra
Hi . this is Groda again. My Rheum wants me to start on Actemra for my GCA. He prescribed a Quantiferon TB Golf test (IGRA) before starting Actemra. Would like to know if anyone else had to have this test before starting Actemra. Also, for those that were on Actemra, how long where you on it? Infusion

Lab Tests Indicate High Lipase
Has anyone taking prednisone and Actemra had a high lipase on their routine lab tests. I’m on 4 mg prednisone and bi-weekly injections of Actemra for GCA. I get lab tests every month, and the past several months Lipase is high (usually around 60-70). I’ve done a CT scan with the dye, and was told

Temperature Issues in Besremi due to poor packaging during shipping...
Hi all, I may have mentioned this before, but while my response to the maximal dosage of Besremi has been measurable in other ways, my Hct control has been off and on. Most of the time SWMBO is at home to receive and sign for the monthly delivery of Besremi, so it wasn't until I was out of work [from
