Advised not to use any creams for moisturising when on oxygen?
Hi, my hospice gave a ‘talk’ about avoiding skin creams while using oxygen as it may cause burns or worse. But I’ve been using Vaseline intensive care on my body, but only water based Optilube lubricant in and around my nose. But what about the rest of my face, which is getting very dry. I normally use

Pleural thickening
Hi there, My 22 yo daughter had pneumonia 4x three years ago with a pleural effusion. She has been well since. In the past fortnight she was diagnosed with pleural thickening of left lung (2cm). She had a biopsy & shoes no signs of cancer. Phew! However, they don’t know what is causing it for sure.

Hide your
scars
so you can keep letting all the pain out. You are in control of that. You control that pain, where other pain is uncontrollable. Sometime it’s easier to give up, just not for other people. I hide my pain, my tears, and act like I’m strong.

First Appointment NHS Behcets CoE, my tips!!
them anyway under flourescence) a mini fan, You will see a nurse for standard health checks, have bloods at the end and a full eye exam, the oral was very quick and rudimentary, surprising considering ulcers are so important to diagnosis, I was expecting a dental chair and something to show the past

my finger, I have two of them". I knew me, I had a good idea of my options and I knew that I do not like needles.

My Healing
It takes time for wounds to fade into
scars
. It takes time for the process of healing to take place. Give yourself that time. Give yourself that grace. Be gentle with your wounds. Be gentle with your heart. You deserve to heal.

Clinicopathological characteristics of incidental parathyroidectomy after total thyroidectomy: the effect on hypocalcemia
Sometimes a paper seems to come under the umbrella of "state the bleeding obvious". However, it is so vitally necessary for people to keep doing so. We should be shocked at the implication that sometimes the procedure might be done in a less than meticulous fashion, and that the parathyroids might not

Raining again!
As I approached 11k the skies opened again and it was all looking very moody, I was a bit lost and worried I was going to hit the Verbotten area controlled by the aggregate quarry firm that had signposted the fen road, I had already ran past areas strip mined for gravel, huge

Tampon problem!
I had a baby 6 months ago with an episiotomy as well as a 3rd degree tear. I have been stitched up too much (vaginal entrance too small to even have sex). Today I managed to insert a small (tampax Pearl light) tampon with lube but it hurts too much to pull it out! The pain seems to be inside under episiotomy

Cream for minor injection scars
I inject once or twice day, so I want to stop any such
scars
building up. Is there a healing cream available? I use Savlon but it's really an antispetic and does not promote healing other than by preventing infection.

Day brought completely down because of possible new diagnosis
I showed up to a meeting at work hungover and with hidden
scars
beneath me. This all went on until today after a meeting with my psychiatrist. She told me that my behavior was reminiscent of the beginning stages of borderline personality disorder.
