We are getting near the incontinence stage
My lovely wife is terrified of, but getting indications of, incontinence. So far one or two 'accidents' but an increased demand on me to get her to the toilet. The worst part is in the night, she has for some weeks now been unable to get to the commode unaided after several disastrous falls. She now

When to increase dosage of Carbidopa/Levodopa
Husband had an appointment with his neurologist a few weeks ago. Hubby does not have tremors and dr. stated he couldn't tell if hubby was getting any worse. Also asked him if he was depressed and he responded no. Neurologist said well you can up your dosage of Carbidopa/Levodopa - do you want to do

wiped out after second pfizer jab
Ten days after my second pfizer jab i went dowhill rather quickly. Exhaustion, stiffness and pain in lower back, buttocks and groin. I have been getting flares regularly over the last year, this seems to be much worse. I've gone up to 21mgs deflazacort which doesn't seem to do much. I'm left pretty

prednisone withdrawal symptoms
A cute little leaflet with surprisingly grim recommendations.... "A full recovery can take anywhere from a week to several months. Contact your doctor if you experience prednisone withdrawal symptoms as you are tapering off the drug. .......... Current Guidelines • Patients be informed of the signs

No sleep in hospital
So my dad is currently weaning down with trach on and he’s breathing on his own today with some help of oxygen, so we’re doing good there. But he hasn’t slept in 48 hrs. I know he doesn’t sleep well at night anyway but not this bad. I know sleep schedule can get really messed up being in ICU and things

13 YO with nocturnal enuresis
My 13 year old son has nocturnal enuresis. He's never had a dry night in his life despite using various medications and alarms. A couple months ago he started sleeping through solid bowel movements after he had some sort of virus. His mental health and friendships are affected because he is embarrassed

hi, new here so pleased to find this forum. My 5 year old son has been having soiling accidents. He goes to a forest kindergarten so the toilets are not right where he is, and I'm not sure if that has been the problem or something else? He will withhold his poo as his default and thats not always successful

Agitation on vent
What’s some of your all’s personal experience or a loved ones personal experience, with trying to breathe over the vent. They said my dad was coming out of his sedation a little today and then he starts to breath real hard and he gets all agitated and anxious, so then it in turn messes with his oxygen

Catheter worry
Hi, could you please give me some advice. My dad has been recovering from severe covid, long time ventilated etc. He’s still quite confused and not fully physiologically aware. They removed his catheter yesterday, but he’s been retaining his urine, so they’re putting another catheter back in. I’m so

Physical activity may reduce risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes.
A Kaiser Permanente study of nearly 50,000 people with COVID-19 suggested that regular physical activity provided strong protection from hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, and death. Even exercising inconsistently lowered the odds for severe COVID-19 outcomes when compared to people who

Discharge thoughts
Hello lovely people! Looking for a bit of advice. So there are a few rumblings of the potential discharge date for my husband being in May. We live in a house which is too small, has an extremely steep staircase with our bathroom upstairs. But a WC downstairs. I have had my nose to the wheel looking

Lack of communication
Hello , I have severe Ankylosing spondylitis for which I am on Adalimumab. I saw my Consultant two weeks ago we agree that I would stay on the Adalimumab and he would do a new prescription that day and send it to Healthcare at home. I only had one injection left which I took that day the 26th. As I

Dealing with lying
Hi all. I’m new here so bear with me. It’s a long one... My son is 7 and we still haven’t tackled day or bedtime wetting. For nighttime he has been prescribed Desmopressin which has helped, plus we have a bed wetting alarm. To be honest, being a boy, his winky often misses the sensor! Our main problem
