Aren't doctors amazing!!
My doctor fully understand everything I say to him! Just got back and I feel so relieved that someone listens to me!! I went in the room sat down and cried my eyes out he gave me a tissue and gave me a few minutes.. I eventually told him my fears of having bowel cancer and that I thought I had it! He

Bowel Cancer
Bowel Cancer is a big killer of older men. The NHS provides screening for bowel cancer and home testing kits are available to all men and women aged 60-74. The kit is looking for FOB or faecal occult blood. In a nutshell, the test looks for blood hidden in your pooh. This can be an early sign of bowel

Does anyone know why Lactulose is not recommended for IBS sufferers?
Hi, I've just been reading the NICE guidelines for IBS and came across this: "Laxatives should be considered for the treatment of constipation in people with IBS, but people should be discouraged from taking lactulose. [2008]" Does anyone know why this is? The reason I ask is I've suffered from chronic

COPD Going Backwards ?
I was diagnosed with COPD around 2012. The diagnosis was moderate, but I think that perhaps it was at the bad end of moderate. I had at least one flare up due to a chest infection which saw me hospitalized for a short period. I was in a right state before going into Hospital. The infection saw me waking

How long after your last dose of chemo does it take to start feeling somewhat normal again.....or it that just a dream I'm having?
I'm so thankful to God that I've rebounded after having so many rounds of taxol/Carbo, debulking surgery, re admitted to hospital with small
bowel
obstruction
. My last CT scan showed clean, my CA 125 went from 896 to 25. I just had, hopefully, my last chemo on Sept 29.

The Homeless Are Not Just For Christmas
Himself asked me today where do homeless people go to the lavatory...funny sort of a question you might think...but that did make me wonder why we imagine we're living in some sort of advanced society when every town and city has people who are actually without a home... Not through choice...not like

There 'Ain't No Stopping Me Now...
The excitement is too much...just shows what an incredibly boring life we lead, when the arrival of a wheelchair...in metallic blue...gets me all of a quiver. It was never an item on my list of objects I'd love to own...doesn't really compare with an electric train set for instance or the Mediaeval table

Peeping Over The Parapet...
We have all we need...food on the table and warmth when it's cold...enough clothes and hot water and a loo that flushes. We have good neighbours and a reliable car and just enough money to spare for hobbies... There are our pets...the kittens who snuggle up and purr in my ear at night...the dogs Himself

Colofac or Buscopan ?
Which do you find helps with your IBS cramps & pains the best, I am not sure either helps me, I think peppermint oil sometimes takes the edge of it a bit.

Hello there all fellow sufferers. I have just been found to have a tumour in the bowel; no CT scan date as yet( could be 10 days or more ) .. am feeling a bit lost to be honest . Unfortunately I have knowledge of this cancer as my late husband had it. He'd left it too late ; hopefully mine has been

COPD research in Derbyshire
I’ve been approached by a postgraduate research student, Karen, at Keele University. She is doing a research project into the ways in which men in semi-rural towns, aged 55 and over, look after themselves when they are diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study will take
