Burning mouth syndrome?
I had to buy
artificial
saliva
but it evaporates in minutes. Even so if that was it, I would still try to ignore it.

Aclasta infusion.
This is my 4th day following zolendronic acid infusion and I thought I would share how this has been for me. I was very resistant to having further treatment having stopped taking alendronic acid due to side effects. However, after recent DEXA scan showed fracture in T9 and after much discussion I

Time to get Ocaliva
Does anyone have experience of how long it takes to get Ocaliva? I saw consultant on 12th December, he said I will be going on Ocaliva and will have a phone call from the drug company. I’ve heard nothing. I rang the specialist nurse and consultant secretary. All I get is they will chase it up. Thanks

Newbie still finding stuff out
I have very recently been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, the cough is particularly troublesome. I want to ask is a nebuliser something that would help me, I would just be looking at mist inhalation of either saline or straight water. Thank you

Conflicting advice.
I am very confused with conflicting advise. I have Paroxysmal A.Fib. The 1st was in April 2014 and I think was caused by a very nasty respiratory virus. I’ve ha the 2nd episode in June 2017, possibly caused by a urine infection which took 2 different antibiotics to shift it and 3rd one on Dec 10th

Getting very depressed about symptoms.

Audiologist, checked, but said right ear had some congealed blood , so sent me to GP who has referred me to ENT. He only saw wax. Waiting for appointment. Each

I have mild bronchiectasis but been coughing up spots of red blood. Should I be worried?
Not the first time I have seen spots off red blood in my sputum but its been happening more frequent now. Is the weather being bitterly cold a contributory factor? I nebulise with saline solution. Any advice/comments/suggestions please. Best wishes to all

Using saline with neb for cough
I have a home neb and ventolin nebules for occasional emergency use only. I currently have a troublesome dry asthma cough and burning sensation in my upper airways that some of you have described. Also my chest feels a bit tight despite taking salbutamol. I am not wheezing and my chest is clear. I was

Day 9 - concerns on step backwards...
I’ve been very happy with the healing progress I’ve been making (and have previous posts on profile showing this) but have had a bit of a turn for worse in last 48 hours or so. The “ring” below the glans has been getting very swollen on the left side. Furthermore the area has generally become very scabby

I was wrong
Good morning friends 😊 I wanted to post a quick update in regards to that super long post I made about my breast implants and thinking they were causing all my issues. I had them deflated in November and am scheduled for surgery to remove the shells on January 20th. After a lot of research and a zillion

Really constipated
I have lately been going 4-5 days without a BM. Today is day 5. My wife wanted to go to the beach, so I took her. Around 1pm I told her I needed to get back to our unit to take care of business. She knows it's day 5. I tried to dissuade her, but she insisted on coming back. I took a TBSP of castor oil

Why is there so much gunk in my lungs?!
When my asthma is really bad (normally in the winter time) I have so much productive mucous, it’s really gross tbh. I seem to end up with back to back chest infections as it’s really difficult to shift. I wake up every morning rattling and try to avoid coughing because every time I start coughing it

B12 and Diclofenac
I have recently, reluctantly, been using a diclofenac gel for a painful foot. Looking up diclofenac to check various things, I noticed this paper. I had not previously considered B12 to be an analgesic! (Though well aware of the neuropathy issues that a deficiency can cause.) And I was surprised by

I'm new.. This is my story.. Pneumonia, sepsis and empyema
Just wanted to share my story for a bit of self therapy! Just reflecting and getting things out... I appreciate I have been lucky and some people have had the same infection and had to overcome much more than me. However it has still been a traumatic experience. I am 33, fit and healthy. On November

Nebulizer
Not sure if you all do this but. When I get up some mornings I have fluid I can't cough up. I use to light a cigaretteto make myself cough. Now, i don't smoke and use my nebulizer. Over years I saw how the albuterol affected me. Shakes, sometimes off balance. One of my V.A. stays I talked to a

Our October Holiday.
[u]A plan comes together.[/u]
After a positive report at my appointment at the Oncologist Clinic, in the middle of August 2019, I decided to take a further leap of faith and go back to The Broads to sneak in another week. My thoughts are to take my son with us this time, I try to treat my 2 children

Not sure if I was clear about the source of the wounds.
Thanks all for your prompt answers. It is nice to know there are others out there who understand. My wounds are created by the tumour in my breast pressing on the skin on the underside of my breast which is swollen. The tumour with it's cauliflour head had actually started to pinch the skin in.

Wounds not healing
I have written about my situation in previous posts. I am just wondering if anyone has tried anything for healing small breast wounds that have not healed in 6 wks. after radiation. They insist the only thing is saline soak with dressing. Maybe I don't want to face the reality of my situation.

Infected abrasion
My abrasion over ankle is infected because of hot saline fomentation which was prescribed by doctor to reduce swelling. I had applied soframycin before that. There are small fluid bubbles around my wound. What should I do?
