What it is like to get an AV fistula, My journey
I am writing this for those who are heading to dialysis and want to know what it is like. As RonZone did with PD, I am talking about home hemodialysis, HHD. My lab numbers are at the point to "get-er done." The first step: I was scheduled for an AV fistula; first-stage left brachiobasilic fistula

best foods to eat after ibs d flare
I’ve suffered from ibs for years and have been well controlled. Have never needed to do FODMAP as yet as know triggers. Anyway I’ve had the worst flare ever in last 5 days and no improvement. Constant diarrhoea. Everything just going straight through. Imodium helps but I need to start trying to eat

Alzheimer's, APOE4 gene and HRT - testing for the APOE4 gene
In the news today (14 January 2023) they talk about the possible reduction in Alzheimer's from taking HRT. I cannot take HRT (and have no desire to) due to my ovarian (sub-type endometrioid) cancer and endometrial cancer both being oestrogen receptor positive. However, what I found interesting to read

Moving on from a Tracheostomy
Sorry - another question from me. As it was a slightly different topic, I thought I'd start a new thread. My dad has had a trachy now for just over two weeks, following two weeks fully sedated on a ventilator due to pneumonia. He is much improved and breathing unaided for 36 hours so far. He is also

When to reduce maintenance dose?
Hi everyone, After 3 years of on and off constipation, and last year having a really stubborn withholding episode, and one almighty disimpaction, we have now got a nearly 5 year old daughter who is on 3 sachets of cosmocol a day, and pooing regularly. This is such a huge achievement as this time last

Horizant
After pregabalin and gabapentin both made me nervous (I successfully tolerated the pregabalin for years, with daytime sedation however). Codeine also seems to be waking me up instead of sedating me. Doctor is suggesting trying Horizant. I know it is for people who experience symptoms all day, but

Turned down by the RHN
I recently emailed the admissions office at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in Wandsworth, London to see if I met their criteria for referral as, over four years after my ABI, I have received no rehabilitation. The RHN is not an NHS hospital so it has the freedom to pick and choose who it treats

waking up from induced coma
I posted a few days ago about my sister being in ICU in an induced coma. This is day 7 now and they have turned down the sedation after being able to control her seizures. I have read that it’s a slow process. Can people give me example of how it went for you. I know everyone is different but it helps

Who could you ask about if your entitled to any benifits.
I have struggled with my breathing for the last few years and was wondering if there was any help financially. I took early retirement last year couldn't cope anymore with my job stairlift engineer. I have saved some money to help before I can claim my work pension, so at the moment I have no income.

Woo hoo I've finally smashed it!
Set off at 7am, still 18C, can you believe it? I told myself this was just another run and if it was too warm to go the distance, well the graduation run would still be there for another day. A few minutes in and I've hit my happy pace. My music was calming overlaid by beautiful birdsong. Then the 15

bad fall 🙁
I fell last week and badly sprained my ankle. After a week, it’s still quite swollen and bruised. I’ve been doing really well with my runs, maintaining three times a week and regularly getting to 4-5k. I’m so disappointed that I fell and really worried about how long it will be before I can run in it

ibs-d and facing surgery
I’m having a knee replacement on Wednesday and worried about my ibs-d as bad at the mo. I’m taking loperamide but worried that if I take too many with the combination of strong painkillers I’ll end up constipated. Also concerned that as im having an epidural I wont be able to feel if I need to go😩

It would have helped to exercise my arm and shoulder following lung surgery in order to avoid frozen shoulder
For those of you having any lung surgery… Please remember to regularly move your body, and especially exercise your arm/shoulder after the surger(ies.) I had chest tubes, pleurodesis, pleurectomy, lung resection, etc. (excuse misspelling.) I felt pain and discomfort after the surgeries so I didn’t move

Starting all over... Again...
Firstly, I need to confess that I am very anxious or maybe scared to post it. As couple of times I tried to come back to running, the last time I decided to share my path with you and then I stopped running. Some breaks are due to illness, some other due to laziness, another time my mental health suffers.So
