How long did symptoms last after your DVT?
Hello everyone. I just had a iliofemural DVT and was put on enoxaparin for 2 weeks followed by rivaroxaban twice a day. There are no doubts that after these 3 weeks my symptoms vastly improved but i still have trouble getting back to my daily activities as my leg starts to hurt and swell after walking

Vulval Itching
Not sure if it's endo related but I'm so itchy I feel like clawing my skin off! I've had this for a while in waves but have never found it related to anything hormonal or diet related, and it's driving me insane! Tried E45, petroleum jelly, even been given steroid creams and nothing is touching it. The

While most patients are treated with anticoagulants (commonly known as blood thinners), the use of novel interventional devices

Recovery after PE is more than possible
13.05.2016 (Friday the 13th) Diagnosed with Massive Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism approximately two weeks after getting big bruises on legs during a motorcycle accident (at that time I was not aware I had protein S deficiency that in combination with bruises triggered blood clots forming in my legs).

Sleep aid that seems to be working
Like a lot of us with a head injury, I suffer from sleep problems. I doze off intermittently at random times during the day and then at night time. I only have a few hours sleep. Over the years, I have tried all the usual advice - no drinks late at night, reduce "screen" time, dark room, cold room,

Hydroxychloroquine and hair loss
I had to stop taking methotrexate due to severe hair loss and waited almost 3 months before starting a new DMARD. I was hoping to start on biologics but my DAS score was too low. The rheumatologist suggested I start on lefluamide or Sulfasalazine but the risk of hair loss was higher than methotrexate

We are off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz
0630 no rain to load the car, Yippee. Although I will be just an observer, no humping for me, going to start off the right way. A whole Carphone Warehouse carrier bag full to the brim with my meds! Plus a first aid kit in preparation for any skin tears, that I am now very prone to getting without even

HELP with getting sleep!
HELP! My DH isn't sleeping well at all. He's tried Natrol 10mg Melatonin and it wasn't that great. I then got Natrol Melatonin Advance Sleep 10mg Melatonin (it's a 2 layer time release to help fall asleep quickly, then the inner layer helps you sleep through the night), sounded good, but it was worse

Experiences with Biotin for Methotrexate hair loss
Has anyone tried taking Biotin to help reduce hair loss caused by Methotrexate? I began taking Methotrexate last November, after having to stop taking Hydroxocholoroquine due to significant hair loss and rashes. Initially my hair loss with Methotrexate at 10 mg and Folic acid at 5 mg 6 time a week

Coeliac related auto-immune hepatitis
Just been diagnosed with this - last year had sudden severe jaundice ALT > 1200 etc. CT and liver biopsy revealed inflamed liver and pancreas, the liver biopsy showing slight focal necrosis. The blood tests showed the presence of Coeliac related antibodies (TTG/EMA), subsequent biopsy of the duodenum
