Where are the hospital gowns?
Hi - I was very surprised yesterday that I didnt have to change into a hospital gown for the Gastroscopy! I kept all my ordinary clothes on. When I had a barium swallow recently, I had to change into a gown. I wonder if it's the new way of doing things? I would have thought a gown would have been appropriate

Anyone Have Any Experience Of Using Either Dead Sea salts, Epsom Salts, or Himalayan Salts In The Bath For Detoxing / Muscle Pain Relief ?
I've found a reasonably priced supplier for all of the above. I've used Epsom Salts before, and I know how I react to them (like a floppy rag doll and no energy, presumably where it's pulled out a load of toxins from my system), but I'd be really interested to find out if anyone here has tried the Dead

Barium was normal, why do I need Gastroscopy?
Hi - my barium swallow was normal, so I am just wondering why the consultant said I could have a motility problem caused by the Raynaud's, and have to have the camera down? Got my appt now, I go on Thurday. Will choose sedation. Thanks for all your previous replies, much appreciated.

My Neurology Appointment Didn't Go So Well This Week.
But I wasn't surprised, either. My existing symptoms seem to be escalating i.e. loss of balance and falls, and a few new ones that have snuck in there that concerned me. Such as the amount of times I've aspirated over the last several weeks. 1/2 a dozen maybe? Maybe it sounds like little to those

what medication are you on? (only anxiety related)
I was wondering what medication people are on for anxiety only? I am so far not on any (still doing tests). However I have heard bad stories about SSRI's. I remember an ex-gf using seroxat and she didnt have a good experience. I also know people on fluoxetine (prozac) but the side effects seem just

Modern Anti-depressant medication and old types
There is a discussion in another thread about how these medications affect people. Some can make the user agitated, which is awful. Been there etc.. I take Cipralex 5mg at night as well as a beta-blocka and mainly cope on a day-to-day basis. Without either I would not get out of bed! Amitriptalyene

Whats the link between VitD and magnesium?
Have been reading a very interesting article (from someone on this site) regarding VitD/Magnesium suppliments. According to the article you should not take VitD unless you are also taking magnesium as it can cause arrythmia problems. My reason for asking is that my arrythmia could be linked to my

Coughing
Hi All you fellow survivors Ever since my op two and a half years ago I have had a dry persistent cough. At first I just put it down to having my lung deflated during surgery. But as time has gone on I got a little concerned that there was something else going on. It has taken nearly a year of

Ho hum. As my Onc said when I saw him last Monday, " Hello. You've been in the wars again, haven't you?"
Yep. That's me! Having got my strength more or less back after my life-threatening upper intestinal bleed last October I once again did a great family Christmas, with the same attitude I've had for the past few years i.e This'd better be good because it might be my last one. But as soon as the hoo-ha
