Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles. I think this has relevance to anyone trying to taper through the lower doses of pred if they are taking opioids for pain or any

Questions
The time has come when I need to make a decision about whether to go with hemo or peritoneal dialysis. That brings up many questions. If on peritoneal dialysis do you ever get a decent nights sleep or are you constantly awakened with alarms pain etc. Is the machine very loud - I have a hard time

Transplant Question
I’ve been wondering for awhile if kidney transplants are given once a person is past a certain age? I’m in the U.S. and I have a cousin who had severe liver disease. She was 75 & the state she lived in didn’t perform liver transplants on anyone over 68. I checked with my state, & liver transplants

B12 stored in liver ?
Hi I'm getting a little confused and trying to understand what is actually measured with blood tests... Does a serum Total B12 reflect what is or isn't stored in the liver at the time of the test or just what is circulating ? Does an Active B12 test measure the store differently, is the store in

Carvedilol and Urso bowl changes
I’ve been on cavedilol medication since May 2023 and Urso since 2022, up until a few weeks ago I’ve suffered a lot of dioreah which started when at the same time when when the Dr prescribed me ferris sulphate for low iron. I know this has a lot of gastric issue so stopped that a week ago. I still have

varices grade 2
My consultant physician did a surveillance Gastroscopy which showed 2 varices grade 2, as I was taking Carvedilol twice daily he has decided no further action is required. Having had a burst varice in the past which put me in hospital for a week. I am confused to why he’s decided not to band them surely
