Ketamine infusion
Hi, I'm wondering had anyone had a Ketamine Infusion for chronic pain? And if so, did it affect you in any way and did you get relief from it? I'm due one tmrw. Pain doc previously told me that it "messes with your head". I've had lignocaine infusions, the highest dose only lasted a week and a half unfortunately

warfarin
That’s awful, in my 12 year experience with warfarin I was always told if you are over your therapeutic range you should reduce your dosage down not miss it for days. Not taking any anti coagulant can harm you if at risk of clotting. If this was a recent diagnosis I can understand why the doc wants

Stress--patience--tapering going well...
I've been reading the forum almost daily but haven't posted, so I thought I'd update. After getting down to 1 mg after four years, in the fall of 2023, I had to go back to 60 mg...mostly other health issues and not really a typical GCA flare. Now, after just three months, I am at 4mg, along with my weekly

Clear Cell Trial Update
Hi everyone, hope you’ve all had better start to the new year than me. In November I completed the first leg of a trial. Beginning of December I developed a blood clot in my heart. For this reason I wasn’t able to continue on the trial because it wasn’t clear if the trial drug caused the clot or the

Advice on statins and vascular atheroma please
Story so far.... Had a recent hospitalisation in Cyprus for a problem unconnected to the thyroid (acute diverticular episode after 30 years of no major issues) which resulted in me having to have a CT scan when I returned from holiday. The scan was OK on the original issue, nothing sinister revealed

Does anyone have any feedback on Wegener's Gramgranulomatosis?
I have Wegener's and it has primarily affected my eyes and lungs. I've been on rituximab and 25mg methotrexate for two years but I have a host of issues from taking the rituximab.

Hand grip training for lowering blood pressure?
Good morning all you helpful people. I’ve just heard a fascinating thing on the Zoe podcast, about hand grip strength and high blood pressure. Apparently, using a hand-held device to strengthen your hand grip over several weeks can effectively lower your blood pressure. I’ve had a look online, and it

Seeking advise about an implantable loop recorder.
I am a 72 year old male in good health. I had persistent AFIB for many years – probably caused by 40 years of alcoholism.

Rivaroxaban
Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone else has any side effects from Rivaroxaban? I'd been taking 20mg per day since 2017 with no noticeable side effects. I not only have AF but Bronchiectasis as well. Needed to put a sputum sample in for testing and carried this out in the usual way

Eliquis and surgery
I will have to go off my Eliquis for several days prior to having surgery on one of my eyes. I am terrified that I may go into AF while off it. Has anyone had to go off their anticoagulant for surgery and had AF without it causing a stroke?

Varicose veins with scleroderma
Are there any other LSSc people out there also suffering from varicose veins? At my last check up with Royal Free I pointed out lots of new burst veins/ thread veins in my legs. They said it as early varicose veins, but they would ask my GP to refer me to vascular specialist close to me. RF implied

Hemorrhoids from higher cholesterol
I thought I'd ask if this is common for other people. I suspect my Hemorrhoids have got quite bad as a result of slightly underactive thyroid. My cholesterol is mildly high - 5.7 when it should be below 5. Also I have gilberts syndrome which is high bilirubin. When I fasted or went more than 6 hrs without

I reside in the UK and was diagnosed with Afib in early October and had a mild heart attack, in hospital for five days and given flecainide (50mg twice daily), apixaban (5mg twice daily), statins (40mg once daily) Losartan 5mg (once daily). I have always been intolerant to a lot of medication and vaccinations
