What cocktail of medication are you on for your Anxiety
I seem to think I am on too many meds but, my Pdoc says I must stay on them. I suffer from anxiety. I am on Epilim (low dose) Cipralex 15mg, Fluanxol for anxiety 1mg, and Xanor 0.5mg SR morning and night. Am I on too many or just enough?

Streptococcal meningitis
Hi, I had Streptococcal meningitis when I was 16, I am now 26 and wondering will this affect me my ability to get pregnant and if I get pregnant will be okay? I read that 25% of women have this bacteria in their bodies anyway so I can assume I still do. Has anyone had Streptococcal meningitis not while

Were our grandparents really healthier than us?
It also meant there was much more scope for serious surgery … like abdominal surgery or
brain
surgery which previously would have been a
death
sentence."

Atrial Flutter and Shingles
Two years ago, after ankle reconstruction surgery, I was diagnosed with SVT. After two unsuccessful ablations (and Verapamil and Flecainide) my specialist said that I have Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT) and put me on Sotalol (40mg twice a day). That mostly kept things under control and if I had

I can't accept that anxiety is causing this.
But I'm still scared to
death
, because I know the
brain
is powerful, and my brain doesn't seem to wanna listen to me.

Hi
Hi I'm new here. My TBI was 3 years ago due to a fall down stairs at home. I was in a coma for 5 weeks and then 4 months in a neuro rehab unit. Whilst in the coma I had a craniectomy and after some months since leaving hospital I had a cranioplasty. 10 days later I wasn't well and found I had an infection

I'm wondering now if I should start looking for another Thyroid Doctor.
So I went for another blood drawn on my TSH and haven't heard from my Specialist( had blood drawn yesterday) she usually calls the next day. Before I left I got a copy of my last TSH level which was 7.76 and the Specialist had left me a message to cut my pill of 5 mg of Methamizole in half and to take

Did I have Encephalitis?
I was in hospital for 3 months last year with a brain infection they described as "an encephalitic illness". I'm still getting letters from the hospital saying "it wasn't this, that or the other thing we've tested for". I'm so confused. I guess I didn't have Encephalitis, just brain swelling, but it

DBS Surgery
Good morning - It is now four months since my DBS surgery, and I am feeling stronger every day. The time spent in my blue chair has seen a substantial reduction - in fact, I catch myself avoiding it by folding clothes or dusting, things I don't particularly like. As you can see, my hair is growing back

My Father is in an Induced Coma on Life Support with Pneumonia
If however, he goes downhill to the point of
brain
death
or damage beyond repair so quality of life is dire... then as my father stated to my uncle, I will have to make sure his wishes are met by agreeing to them removing him from life support.
