CLOPIDOGREL vs DIPYRIDAMOLE

Hell yeah! Sorry to nerd out, but **nothing** is better than a head-to-head intervention study. **Nothing**. Not even…well… you know 😏 We’ve had [Ozempic Vs Zepbound](https://thehandover.beehiiv.com/p/calcium-catfish-glp-1-war-and-blood-bots). We’ve had [Prostate Biopsies Vs Rectal Ultrasounds](htt

TLDR: 98% recovered from long covid for almost a year. Had multiple symptoms, and tests that showed many things wrong. Tried insane amount of treatments. But a psychology first approach used for chronic pain finally got me out. Before you judge this as me trying to shill an approach, please look at

UPDATE I PASSED !!! Hey everyone, I took the NAPLEX yesterday and wanted to share what stood out to me topic-wise. If I remember anything else as I go along, I’ll add it here hope it helps someone. I don’t think I did well, so take this with a grain of salt. I definitely need to review and piece thi

**“Err … cloppy-dog-grill?”** Classic. We’ve all butchered a drug name and felt our clinical cred collapse quicker than a 90 year old’s veins. Sadly, juniors everywhere suffer from **mispronouncitis**: a tragic condition characterised by vowel invention and incoherent mumbling when put on the spot.

IAMA male in my late 30s. He took my blood pressure and it read as 152/119. He also took an EKG and

I wanted to give an update after roughly one year. Maybe it helps some of you who are afraid of high CAC scores, especially at younger ages. **History:** One and a half years ago, I (then 39 y.o.) accidentally found out that I have a high Lp(a) (>240 nmol/l). This is a red flag, especially with

40, male here. My lpa was 48 mg/dl four years ago. I didn't know what it was and ignored it. Three months ago, it was 137 mg/dl. I read about it and panicked. Consulted a cardiologist who put me on Aztolet 20 (Atorvastatin (20mg) + Clopidogrel (75mg)). I've been on it for the past three months but b

I am not a doctor and this isn't medical advice. What follows below is solely from my personal experience over 9 years with severe restless legs. **tl;dr -** *Lifestyle changes are critical. No great options for severe RLS. YMMV but some alternative approaches do work (perhaps just for me), and they

Before I go any further, I should point out that this in no way constitutes medical advice, or an alternative to medically administered treatments. I just read a lot and have saved info as I find it and this shouldn't be taken as a suggestion to go out and buy any particular thing. The purpose of th

I work as a family physician sub in Europe and am relatively new to the field. Graduated recently from med school and have only 2 months of work experience here. Regardless, had a patient today (45 y male) who's a bit new to this town, who has had a history of asthma, bipolar illness and stroke in

This is for people with Refractory RLS or "long term iron-insufficient" RLS (my made-up medical category). People who respond to iron supplementation. For those with genetic RLS, this might not be the right path. Two new studies came out [https://thejournalofheadacheandpain.biomedcentral.com/arti

Toe spacers help relieve my rls. I don't know how or why and I have no science to back it up but it definitely helps. I wear [these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Separators-Strengthener-DYKOOK-Correcting-Overlapping/dp/B0BGNBLMWZ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=toe+spacers&qid=1670073731&sr=8-3) when going

Hi all, I’ve been dealing with various LC symptoms for a little over a year now. Most of my symptoms have to do with my heart. I have the usual tachycardia, pvcs, chest tightness, periodic shortness of breath, dizziness, etc. After lots of pushing my cardiologist has finally ordered a cardiac mri to
