Shingles vaccine
Just seen the BBC news health website. Shingles vaccines being offered to over 65’s ( was 70) and, even better, to vulnerable immune suppressed people over 55 from September 2023.

Can LFT tests me normal with fibrosis of the liver?
Hi,I had my gallbladder removed a few weeks ago as I had gallstones which were seen on ultrasound after I'd had pain/pressure/a full feeling under my right ribs. During the op, the surgeon has seen what he has described as "excessive fibrotic changes in the liver". My GP has referred me to Hepatology

You're not a fraud!
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/09/microbiome-chronic-fatigue-me-long-covid-research Hello all, I'm also on the Thyroid forum, but was originally diagnosed with CFS in the early '90's. A couple of years later I developed Thyroid Cancer and hence, life has been confusing for doctors.

bile ducts
I had a blood test few weeks back result was Alp 177and Alt 50. GP repeated them and they came back Alt 30, Alp 139 BUT GGT 105 which wasn’t tested previously. I paid to have an ultrasound scan which showed intrahepatic bile duct dilation of 3.6mm. Everything else was ok in terms of liver gall bladder

Pred and colds, and pmr burn-out
Hi All.Probably both silly questions, but firstly, do other people with PMR keep getting colds? One after the other? I am tapering down from 10 mg. Secondly, I've read that PMR often burns out after 2 years. So does this mean that if I taper down to 0 or 1mg across 2 years, the PMR will have gone as

Shingles vaccination and PCa progression?
Hi everyone, I am planning to get Shingles vaccine, but afraid from the consequences. Gleason score 9 (4+5) Radical Prostatectomy 2017 > BCR 2019 SRT 8 weeks + Firmagon 6 injections (over 6 months). G 9 recurrence is inevitable (as we all know) so I am scared to take the Shingles vaccine. Any one

ERCP - Failed
Anyone had a failed ERCP? The specialist did not manage to put in the stent and will try again later this week. The whole experience is like Mr Bean but that's another story. Summary - relative presented with high bilirubin - had 3/4 blood tests and still high (in a period of 3 weeks) - ERCP scheduled

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
is an enzyme that is released by the bile ducts cells ( among other organs). The release of ALP is a marker of stress or injury. So the more injury or stress to the bile duct cells, the higher

pain upper right side
I started with a terrible pain in my upper right side into my back with a gnawing sensation to the upper right front about 4 weeks ago. Liver function tests were not normal but an ultrasound concluded no gallstones and liver, gallbladder, spleen all looked normal. Still in pain, which starts in the evening

INR/FIBRINOGEN
Can someone please tell me if anything else can affect INR or FIBRINOGEN levels, last year my INR was 1 on the ratio and is now 1.1 does this mean the liver is getting worse or can that figure change, it is literally just on the last part of normal now, also my FIBRINOGEN is almost double what it should

I was staying in a hotel room and I awoke early hours in the morning with V&D , luckily I manage to drive home safely however nausea was terrible. I then had V&D for 10 days. At this
