  1. Long ago I signed up my husband on an apnea site that shows every days results as how he is doing. I tried to sign him up again and failed. It's the same site that's written on his machine.

      I just posted a blog post by the same doctor for the COVID vaccines.

  4. I was diagnosed one year ago next month and put on Warfrin  and I am going weight as all I want to do is eat. My doctor said that Warfin causes some people to do this. Any suggestions on controlling the weight

      No, you typed a private message.  Post a new topic in the discussion forum to ask a public question.

      I'm not a medical person nor nutritionist.  I've kept my weight under control by not having foods in my house I should not eat.  I think a good diet for guidelines is the mediterranean diet or Weight Watchers which also provides group support.  I think portion control is important.  Small meals and healthy snacks throughout the day to feel full.  I found stopping alcohol let me eat more without weight gain, perhaps my metabolism changed.  I use liquid fats / oils now for on food or for cooking, a little treat if eating out I might have butter.  On weekends I will have a little treat, and the psychology of that helps with obsessing on something fun to eat.  Weekdays I am back to eating well and the pound I may have gained over the weekend goes away.

  6. Takotsumo cardiomyopathy. The name comes from the shape of an octopus trap, interestingly.  It is explained well in cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar's newest book, Heart: A History. That part starts on page 24.

      This is a book that I enjoyed generally because of the medical history stories  and suggest it for at least borrowiwng from the library, which I did, then decided I wanted to own it, so I do.

  8. Linda,

    Please stop "engaging" with Fred B (I am asking the same of him) and leave his comments alone until things cool down. Thanks.

      A cool off period makes great sense.  For me, it began with my Zia Patch post.  Fred and Otto immediately took it off on a tangent and were quite rude and wrong.  The intent of my post was lost.  Pete and Corey tried to help me out by pushing back on those two.  It may be a bit of sexism by the old boys or their quirky manner.  Otto has been fine after.

      I know Pete has had a rough time with NJgolfer in quite a few threads, he pushes back on her even saying he wouldn't take orders from a bully.  And it seems in the past there have been some "personalities". 

      If there is a really rough post, and I have received some whoppers from Fred, even telling me to eat a warfarin cookie, can I "report" a post as inappropriate and it will be removed? 

  9. Thanks for feedback . 

    Last year I received 3 Cortisone shots -a month apart for plantar fasciitis . They helped but 3 months later I was diagnosed with AFIB. 

    Coincidence? Don't know ? 

    I am in pain now and need an alternative . Any suggestions ? Thanks! Didi

      Links to a good website below.  If pain meds like Tylenol do not work, cortisone can be the next step - but only short term.

      Reading this, Physical Therapy to stretch tissues seems a good treatment.  If nothing works, surgery can help contracted tissues that seem to cause the pain. 

      I had a few shots years ago in my elbow for something like carpel tunnel.  There is strong advisement to not use many shots, it is very powerful.  3 shots for you sounds like enough no matter what else is going on.  See an orthopeadic surgeon to discuss the next step.  PT if you haven't tried that or surgery.
