What should I expect
Hi I have my first
vascular
surgery
clinic appointment tomorrow. Can anyone advise on what to expect. Also any questions I should ask. I had an echocardiogram and it showed some dilation of the aorta. TIA 😊

New Diagnosis
I have two appointments coming up one in March at
vascular
surgery
clinic and in April at cardiology clinic. I have to say that I am not as devastated as when I got my son's diagnosed.

Palliative care, does it still exist?
Meanwhile the nurse in
vascular
surgery
has got me Farrow wraps for my legs and I'm injecting myself daily for my bones. All this is going well but nothing from the palliative care team. I was hoping someone would contact me as I could do with some advice.

Trigeminal Neuralgia pain
Surgery has been suggested as an option but this is a big thing to think about as it's classed as brain
surgery
Has anyone has successful Mirco-
vascular
decompression (MVD )
surgery
? I am just trying to get as much information as I can before I make a decision about the surgery

Eating Nuts for Heart Health
If you are interested in eating nuts to improve your health, look up each one to see what vitamins or minerals it will supply and how many you should eat daily. It's important that nuts are 'really well chewed' and if you do that it will not effect pockets that may have formed in the bowel due to

Meds vs Ablation
Hello all, I’m weighing the decision of meds vs ablation for my Afib. I am currently doing fine on meds, Xarelto and 50mg Flecainide 2x daily that my cardiologist prescribed. However, I am waiting on a referral to an electrophysiologist. While waiting, I am trying to learn and gather as much info

High platelets due to ET or MF is anyone on anticoagulants such as Clexane or Heparin?
If you are on anticoagulants what platelet numbers do you have? Are any of you also on hydroxycarbamide too?

Sore knee and pain gels
I know on Apixaban I can’t take an anti inflammatory or even the gels. I’ve got a painful knee. I asked in Boots about this stuff. Pharmacist said he couldn’t say. Anyone here heard of it, used it, know it’s ok with Apixaban? 😀

Amlodipine
Hi everyone, Just been prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure to join one or two other drugs post Open Heart op 3 years a go.

Why is my RO changing from Degerelix to Lupron after a month?
my husband started ADT treatment and RO informed him that after a month he will switch to Lupron. Is there a reason why he is doing this? As Lupron I read causes depression, anxiety. And if hopefully Degerelix works why change it? Can we request he not ? TIA.

Hi, I am currently on 40mg of Adalimumab every 2 weeks but it is not working, the hospital have decided that an infusion of Rituximab is the next step, has anybody else had this treatment and did it work?

Recent PSP diagnosis
Hello everyone. My dad is 75 and for the last 4 years we have been on the understanding that he had gait apraxia. We saw a neurologist today who had been through his history over those years and has now diagnosed PSP-PAGF. I'm scared for him and what the future holds, not just for him, but for us as

Cialis blues
Severe muscle cramps nighttime in my legs have recently been wrecking my sleep. After reading up, I discovered that pain in legs can be a side effect of tadalafil/ cialis. After quitting, the cramps rapidly receeded and after less than a week no longer appear. I had been taking 5 mg daily for 4-6 months

Hydroxicarbamide for PV - UK
Diagnosed late 2018 soon after started on Hydroxycarbamide + Rivaroxyban 10mg daily. In the last year, Hydroxycarbamide has been increased slowly every few months. I am now taking 2000mg 4 days a week and 1500mg on 3 days a week because my platelet score is 640. I am feeling really poorly on this

Is it harmful to take Vitamin D & not Vitamin K?
I read that taking vitamin D while not supplementing with vitamin K also can be dangerous as it can lead to calcification of the arteries. I am on warfarin and have been told that I really need to up my Vitamin D, but what do I do about vitamin K?

Blood thinning jab that won’t cause internal bleeding
In the Health section of the Mail last November I read about a new injection Abelacimab which in a head to head trial caused 81% fewer major bleeding incidents.Warfarin is known to be a risk for bleeding in 16% of patients. I no longer attend a clinic, it was always Rheumatology, but I guess I was deemed
