Can anyone explain why two separate ICU nurses would each write an entry in my husband's ICU Patient Diary - one to say he was dying and one to tell him he was dead? Why would anyone do something so unkind addressing him by name when he had been unconscious for a week and was on a ventilator? Plus

I would encourage any teens that are still bedwetting to have a complete urodynamic test run. I didn’t have this done until age 30 but discovered I had a neurogenic bladder and from my history probably since birth. That completely explained my incontinence issues.

Hello all, wondering if anyone has any kind of feedback on DHIVY? I’m taking two carbidopa levodopa at 25/100 and the tremors are much much worse and stiffness is worse as well. I can’t take any more than two a day because my gut will not take it and the pain in my stomach becomes much much worse as

I was in a car accident in 2012 leading to me having serious head injury. I have never been able to remember the accident so I guessed I was unconscious through it. I remember driving along the motorway which is where the accident happened so I guessed I remembered most of the time I was conscious.

I know it's 3 years later but I wanted to write this in case someone needed to see. This thread helped me so much when my dad was in the ICU on a ventilator. When they took my dad off of sedation he didn't wake up right away. He is a peritoneal dialysis patient and drugs leave his system much slower.

Hi all My dad is in the final stages of CBD and in fact the Palliative Care Consultant seems to think we have less than 3 months left with him. I am really really struggling with this and can't bear the thought of not having my dad but this illness is the cruellest illness I have ever encountered.
