Experiences with

Accidents

Hi helpful community. I am on 40 mg or prednisone for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the prednisone or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple

Hi all. Ive posted a few times in the last 2 years regarding my horrendous issue with passing mucus from my rectum.Im 52 and all this started at 49. Feeling like i need to pass wind but if i hold a tissue at my back end its clear mucus. Ive had a full colonoscopy done 14 months ago and was clear. Ct

I don’t remember any serious accidents I had or anything like that. My mom said I was black when I was born because the cord was around my neck. I know I was always sick. I don’t remember being a happy child but I played by myself a lot. I was always scared.

hi, just wondering if anyone here that’s had a child that wets the bed had any emotional problems when they stopped? I certainly didn’t expect that stopping bed wetting would cause us any problems 🤦🏼‍♀️. So this last wee my 9 year old girl has been dry at night. Great news… but now she’s so emotional

My husband had a bleed to the brain 5 years ago and fell causing a traumatic brain injury, over the years his mobility has got worse, his memory isn’t good and he can’t remember where the bedroom or toilet is. I put it all down to his brain injury, had a face to face appointment with his neurologist

I have been only taking half of .125mg sifrol for the last 4 weeks so tonight plan not to take any…..finally!….I have found that codeine was helping less and less as I slowly reduced my sifrol dose( originally .250mg for 10 years.)60mg of codeine/paracetamol now only gives me 2-3 hours relief which

Hi. I'm on 4dp5dt today and I already messed my Progynova dose twice. I'm on 2x2mg Progynova a day (6am and 6pm) But right on the next day after transfer, after I took my morning dose, around two and half hours later (when I'm about to take other vitamins) I mistook another dose. It was extra 2 tablets

I was diagnosed with IBS by my GP but at the time I was thinking my symptoms were mostly caused by virus or bacteria. I suspect taking supplements like multivitamins I definitely could negatively affect one’s gut; however the onset of my problems started with acute stress, anxiety and sudden consumption

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

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

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

Dear all, We have been contacted by a third-year undergraduate medical student at University of Bristol, who is conducting a research project called Talking About Mistletoe therapy (TAM). Please read her message below: [i]This project is called Talking About Mistletoe therapy (TAM) study, and we plan

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

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

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.

My HWP has been in constant pain for over a month. Left shoulder which has been around for a long time. A cracked rib a year ago that has been reagrevated walking the dogs. This month he has been to er 3 time to exclude coronary issue. Once they do send him home. He’s lost over 20 lbs this month 157

The soiling hasn’t changed consistency since we started (she has large accidents in her sleep). The last GP we saw has now referred her to a paediatrician. We are seeing a private one on Friday otherwise it would have taken another month or two.

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

I have over the past couple of years had trouble with a dry burning mouth , which has caused gum problems which I have never had before also just recently my eyes have been very dry and itchy does anyone else suffer with these symptoms are they another Fibromyalgia gift !

Good morning It's been a while since I wrote on here.

Hasn't eaten and been bed bound now for 4 years. She survives on 6
