TIPS Follow Up Questions
Hi Wonderful community. You truly are wonderful and have helped me reach a dicision to have TIPS done. My follow up questions are the following: 1. Did you get ALL your varices embolized and cemented prior to TIPS? 2. Is your Portal Pressure after TIPS now below 12? I was told that is the goal.

Venetoclax and blood sugar
hi everyone, I have been on “V” since the end of last August. In the last five months, I’ve been experiencing severe hypoglycemic attacks: however, my blood sugar is in dropping below 70. my doctor (endocrinologist, who im not happy with) put a blood sugar monitor on me for a week and said no worries

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
This case report has a good side: the patient did get diagnosed and treated. But that only follows the dreadful treatment - missing cause of high cholesterol, took statins, rhabdomyolysis, kidney injury. Claims to have been reversed. (I'd like to see the patient's opinion!) But questionable whether

Nearly 14 years on - time has flown.
On Friday 16th April 2010 I joined the Pernicious Anaemia Society and posted the following: “I was diagnosed with PA back in 1972 consequent upon having had surgery for a peptic ulcer in April 1959 at the tender age of 17. In those days I was not many years from having to be put on a diet of raw liver

Pattern Glare
Does anyone else get this? It's the proper term ( learnt from pink vision Headway) It's one of the things I now live with . Supermarket syndrome ( cherylclair posted) Part of it too. It has improved but as I'm 'appearing ' more 'normal 'sorts the chaff from the wheat with understanding of how debilitating

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.

Weight, bloating, and itchy arms

Octasa and Diarrhea
Hi there, I have diagnosed UC, on last day of an 8 week course of steroids which stopped all my symptoms (bloody lose stool).I am also on day 10 of 6 x 800 mg Octasa. In the last 48 hours started getting diarrhea and fatigue and mild stomach cramps. 6 x loose/watery stools a day. Is this a normal side

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Apixaban (Eliquis) and Omega 3 supplements
Hey All!! Question...Are others who take Apixaban (Eliquis) also taking Omega 3 supplements (that include DHA)? I've read that it could be problematic...increase length of time for bleeding, etc. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ablation trade off?
I’ve had continuous AF for about 5 years. I’m on pradaxa and had a cardioversion last year that didn’t help. I haven’t been on any AF meds but am scheduled for a catheter ablation in two weeks. I’m still very active and don’t notice the AF much except for some general tiredness. Since ablation destroys

curious!
Good morning! I am doing so well on prednisone 6mg. I can’t believe the difference after being tapered too quickly and being on only Advil. I have latent TB and have to start a medication for that for 4 months. Apparently, this med will decrease the effects of prednisone! Ugh! Any thoughts?

hello
I have recently been diagnosed as suffering ( and I’m really suffering) from Tinnitus. The constant high pitch is unbearable at time. I am due to go on holiday next Monty and I am getting very anxious about spending 5 hours on a plane with the noise levels possibly making the “ ringing” a lot worse.
