Disimpactation 3.5yr old
Hi there I wondered if anyone had any thoughts or advice. My daughter 3.5 is going through disimpactation (8 sachets laxido) and has been withholding for 1.5 years. I thought it was just constipation at first. We’re at day 9 and I thought it had worked but from reading this forum I can see we need to

5 year old with constipation/soiling has been told he can't attend school

Losing your job
So this is a weird one. My firm have said due to Covid they are asking people to take unpaid leave of undetermined length due to Covid 19. In my job I have to charge 6.5 hours of work per day and effectively my firm have decided the unpaid leave starts with all those not meeting the 6.5 hours as they

Experience of neurology during the coronavirus crisis. Asking for your help!
Dear all We have a virtual meeting of the Medical Advisory Panel of Ataxia UK in a couple of weeks. One of the topics we will be discussing is how neurology appointments have been affected by the coronavirus climate that we unfortunately find ourselves in. I would be so grateful if you could let me

New here: prolapsed rectum and straining to do soft poos??
Sorry for long post and lots of poo details! My son suddenly started wetting the bed nearly every night a few weeks ago (he's nearly 7). He's had a few wet nights in the past but we'd never worried about it before. No UTI, so we started with an alarm. Then we realised he had been/was having soiling

My Dad Tracheostomy failed again

Today his was agitated and uncomfortable and he managed to pull his feeding tube and the trach was leaking, he back in the ventilator and in light sedation. Tomorrow they hope to review it and may redo the Tracheostomy

Pleurx catheter?
I had a pleurodesis just under 3 months ago. It hasn't worked as I had hoped. I am not sure if I am a candidate for a pleurx catheter as it seems the fluid buildup in my lungs is slow, at least for the time being. I noticed that the fluid build up rapidly increases every third treatment after I have

Nearly 9, bedwetting
Hi, my son has struggled with bed wetting on and off since he was 6. At this stage, his grandad died and he moved schools. Since then he's regularly wet the bed. Since lockdown, he has been better and had a few weeks dry, but this week he's been wet 5 nights in a row. Any suggestions? He's never had
