Oedema ignorance in NHS
The Publicly funded NHS has a problem with this potentially serious condition! My experience has shown me that it cannot provide the necessary care to treat it successfully in every case such as in mine and of coarse in any chronic fairly untreatable condition which of course everyone who is not in

Blacked out without warning.
I blacked out without warning Sunday evening after going to the toilet, so because I am on Warfarin my husband called an ambulance to be on the safe side. I do not know how long I was "out" on the floor but I came round to see a paramedic looking down on me and asking all those questions you dont know

Hi After some advise please. I am currently not on dialysis but had the first stage of my fistula done two weeks ago as my renal function is 7%. I seem to be struggling with 6 kilos of fluid overload. I follow 1 litre fluid restriction and take 160mg of furosemide. I've tried restricting myself to 750mls

What questions should I ask?
My husband is 64 and an alcoholic who was diagnosed last year with cirrhosis. We have been living apart for over a year now but I still do what I can to support him. My husband now lives in Scotland whilst I am in London. During the 12 months we have been apart he has been in and out of hospital several
