Drug trial that could improve respiratory recovery from COVID-19 now underway.
Patients suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia often develop very low levels of oxygen, called hypoxia, in the arterial blood supplying the body. Researchers from the University of Oxford hypothesise that the underlying problem is that the virus disrupts a normal process in the lungs called hypoxic pulmonary

How do I cope with video calls
Hi, my husband has been in ICU on a ventilator for a month having contracted Covid at Christmas. He was given a tracheostomy last week and today I was able to have a video call with him for the first time. Obviously he can not speak, but I think he recognised me. I found it quite distressing to see him

Thread to help those suffering with birth trauma
Hi there I thought I'd create this thread for people to vent about their birth experiences I've noticed since the birth of my daughter 10 days ago there's not much support there are health visitors and midwives but I'm finding the support inadequate for example this morning I get a call from the midwife

Secondary pneumonia- post covid/ventilator
Hi everyone, My dad is off the vent and off sedation. He is breathing on his own but still in the hospital. However, today they said his breathing was a bit laboured. They also said his white blood count was low. They are suspecting secondary bacterial pneumonia. They have already started treating it

Muscle weakness/tracheotomy
Hi everyone, My dad was fitted with a trach on Monday and they are reducing his sedation and he’s somewhat responding to commands now. From being on the ventilator to fitter with a trach, it’s been about a month. The nurse told us today that his arms and legs are very very weak. They have started physio

Need advice for backup power supply for doing home dialysis
My husband has been on home hemodialysis for two years. We want to get a backup power supply for the dialyzer in the event of a power failure. We know nothing about how to go about this. Does anyone else have a backup power unit for their home equipment? Thanks.

Please make it stop
I am new to this level of anxiety. It has completely debilitated me. I need help but can't afford anything, even with insurance. On the surface, it looks irrational but I can't control it no matter what I do. I meditate, breath, exercise and try to take care of myself. I have new medications that

Shielding and covid-19
Are people with anoxic brain damage classed as vulnerable during this covid-19 epidemic? I was in a coma in intensive care for weeks and my body/system as never been the same since and I know my body won't survive another trauma.

Delayed Post or digital hiccup
I just received an alert on my page about help with boiler costs , warmhome discount and other help which I posted five years ago. The discounts for boilers or free ones via the government has now changed to a system called ECO, via most reputable heating companies. Warm home discount is available still

Stage 4 central mediastinal mass
After a lobectomy 3 years ago, I now have a stage 4 central mediastinal mass. No reoccurrence in the lung or spread to other organs. I have been told that only palliative treatment is possible and offered (covid permitting) chemotherapy with immunotherapy. Has anyone experience of this cancer?

End of the line with treatment?
Hi all, My son has had constipation issues since he was 6 months old and is about to turn 10. It also became apparent that he has bladder issues since about the age of 4 or 5 as well. We are at a reasonably good place with the constipation largely under control with a good routine, diet, water and probiotics

extreme constipation?
so it’s been about 10 days since I’ve had a bowel movement. I’ve taken 10 stool softeners today, three prune lax, A cup of senna tea and one Ex-Lax. i’m getting urges to go but I literally can’t push it out. It’s like a sharp pain and I can’t sit up or walk. It hurts so much. Am I going to be OK? Will

Our rainbow baby!
After lots of anxious months, our lockdown rainbow baby was born in May this year ❤️ After our MMC 3 years ago, we were nervous to get pregnant again, but it was 100% worth all of the worry. There’s always hope 🌈

Does anyone know anything about the use of deflazacort instead of prednisone for PMR?
Searching the web tonight for prednisone information, I came across deflazacort for the first time. It seems to have better characteristics in terms of less bone loss and other side effects. The article I found (link below) talks about kidney transplantation; does anyone know whether it is being used

Missed tablets
Last night, for the first time in a year or so I missed taking my Lodotra (4mg). This morning I am in no pain. Could this possibly mean my adrenals are perhaps working after all? Having aggressive OA I have often wondered if the pain I have daily is mostly OA and not PMR.
