A Little Christmas Wish
I’ve posted many times in the last ten years since our 29 year old son sustained a severe brain injury in a car crash. At this time in 2013 he was still in intensive care and, although out of his induced coma, he was showing very few signs of movement. For months we had no idea what kind of future he

intro / husband in critical care
Hi My husband has a road accident on 24/11 suffered an tbi and is currently in critical care. He has been off sedation since about the 27/11 but is still unconcious. He is responding to pain and has started to lift both arms when nurses fiddle with his tubes. He was off the ventilator all day yesterday

? Cover required for endometrial biopsy
I have been on prednisolone for over 2 years now and still on 10mg. I have a hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy planned tomorrow and although this is only a minor procedure with no general anaesthetic or sedation, I’m just wondering whether I will need any extra steroid cover? Does anyone have any knowledge

Hiding head injury
Four and a half years ago I had a concussion and I am still experiencing periods in which I have balance and coordination problems, fatigue, can't concentrate and am easily feeling overwhelmed. Since then I have picked up freelance work again, working outdoors and in educational contexts part-time.

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Monocular Vision Pain
Good evening, I lost sight in my right eye from a freak accident in January. I'm having constant eye pain in the good eye, I have seen many consultants that have examined the eye and unable to identify anything that could be causing the pain. I use eye drops daily, eye gel and many pain killers

bed wetting has stopped but now child is highly emotional?
hi, just wondering if anyone here that’s had a child that wets the bed had any emotional problems when they stopped? I certainly didn’t expect that stopping bed wetting would cause us any problems 🤦🏼♀️. So this last wee my 9 year old girl has been dry at night. Great news… but now she’s so emotional
