Chronic use of Senna
I have IBS-c and have used Senna fruit tablets, 2 at night fairly constantly over 6 months.Some research papers say it shouldn't be used chronically as it can cause a lazy bowel but others say there is no good evidence that Senna fruit can damage the colon. Has anybody any experience of long term use

Bedwetting
My ten year old had never been dry at night since 5 years of age. Over the last year it has improved considerably, not wet every night, though saying that this week he has so far! Usually tends to wet early morning(5-6am) we tried an alarm four years ago(via enuresis clinic) very briefly but he hated

Covid 19 and struggling to wake from sedation without Sat's going wild
Hi my father in law is in icu with covid 19. This is his 30th day in an induced coma. We thought we was going to lose him over the weekend as his trach had started bleeding into his lungs. Thankfully they have stopped the bleed. Everytime they try and wake him from sedation all his SAT's go all over

Be persistent, it pays off
Hi all, I hope you are all keeping safe and sane? Yesterday I received a call from my EP as my face to face appointment was cancelled for obvious reasons. Since my ablation in May 2018 my symptoms have been much improved, but not enough to let me live the life I want to given my age and I have a young

My Mom was in a medically induced coma and on a Ventilator for 4 weeks because of COVID-19.
My Mom has been awake for a few days and off sedation. She responds when I FaceTime her but I know my Mom and she seems confused and sometimes out of it. Is this normal and how long will it take for her to become totally aware again? Im praying this isn't permanent. :(

Co-vid 19 - third week in ICU for Mum
My Mum has been in ICU ventilated, and at some points on dialysis, for 17 days now. She is off antibiotics and medicine for her blood pressure at the moment. Last week she seemed to be making some progress on being weaned from the ventilation and sedation, but the doctors now seems to think they will

COVID: doesn't wake up from induced coma
My mom is 55y and has covid. She was put on ventilator since 31th of March. They turned off her sedation on 15th of April and she still didn't wake up. She has her eyes open but that's all. They said her lungs are better, she make dialysis every other day because her kidneys are not working properly

Is your child on 29mg senna too?
Hi, our lb is 6 and it's been along road of constipation and disimpactions for us. His paedeatrician has upped his senna to 20mg as his still has no sensation. We're reducing the cosmacol (macrogol) to balance this but he's soiling multiple times a day. He couldn't go to school even if they were open

Covid coverage triggering
Hi all, I hope you are staying as safe & well as can be in these scary times. I was just wondering whether anyone else is finding all of the coverage on TV regarding Covid quite triggering? It is of course very important that it is visible on TV for everybody to see what is going on in hospitals and

Thank you!
I like others have an awful lot to thank this site for and it’s amazing community of you. Today though, I would like to thank all of you whom showed your appreciation and support for the NHS last night, as a worried mum of a newly qualified (in her first year) 22year old nurse it meant a lot, not just

Chronic subdural haematoma
He had
burr
hole
evacuation 24 hours ago, and the hospital said it would take 12-48 hours to assess how he might recover. Last night after 12 hours he was still gcs 8 ish. Which was much the same as when he had the procedure. Does anyone know if this is to be expected, or is this a bad sign?

Life is changing now
This made me cry its by my son but I changed a bit so he's not recognised. It sums up that this is in pause of national life but safety is paramount. I just thought to share words of wisdom. "Today was one of the toughest emails I’ve ever sent... Scouts are prepared, we are resilient, we are careful

Yikes- it’s like waiting for an unexplored bomb to go off!
I’ve got colonoscopy procedure tomorrow- to say I’m anxious is an understatement- I’ve taken the two senna tablets this morning at 8.30 but so about 40 mins ago - so far.... nothing! I’m dreading the onset of the diarrhoea... helllllp!

I owe you one, ShelWhitt XX
The dearest of memories can spring from the most surprising sources. ShelWhitt's kind response to a message of mine has stirred so many memories for me... I am beyond grateful that, even during these arduous times, I have been allowed to contemplate the little things that sustained me while I was growing
