Who Says Being A Quitter Is A Bad Thing?
For me it was the best thing that ever happened in my life. It has been 10 months ago driving the 400 km back from the doctor with a box of Champix in my pocket and a X-Ray in a brown envelope showing my poor lungs in a very bad shape after my 38 years of abusing them with toxins.....that is where

Clumsiness & alzheimers.
Every now & again, I reach out for a door handle & miss. this is a fairly recent thing, & Iv`e read that this can be an early sign of alzheimers. I`m terrified now, & imagining my self having to check into a home & ending up incontinent & not knowing who I am anymore. What are the odds that this is down

new diagnosis
this past week my mom was diagnosed with psp I have not ever even heard of the disease. She has had many diagnoses but none have really matched her symptoms until now. Reading the symptoms alone are scary. She has fallen backwards for about 3 years now. Very clumsy, dropping most dishes in the

Ablation date
I have received a date for my second ablation. 20th April. I am so so scared and worried...to the point that I am now considering not having it done. Although I hate arrythmias I have got used to living like this and wonder if I should just continue like this rather than risk stroke or cardiac tamponade

Help!!
im an anxiety sufferer. I'm 16 and a female I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but over the last few weeks I've been getting hot flushes and then the next minute I'll be freezing cold. When I stand up I get really dizzy and have to sit back down. I also feel like my head gets that tingly

Fighting & treating PPP - Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma. Help?
Dear sweet community at Health Unlocked, My name is Delia, I'm 24, and almost a month ago my mom, 66, was diagnosed with stage 3 PPC. She's currently at MD Anderson in Houston, being treated by an incredible gyn-oncology team. They've told her the survival rate is 70% and things we've read that told

Son with BI
Hi, I first looked at the Headway site 2 1/2 years ago, 5 months after my son (aged 17 at the time) sustained a BI from a cycling accident. I didn't feel able to contribute then (to upsetting) but do now. To say the last 3 years have been hard work is an understatement. I am a single parent with no family

I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday celebrations yesterday, even though I had a bit too much to eat and drink, I didn't smoke and that's the best birthday gift I gave myself. i never thought I could enjoy myself without those white cancer sticks, how wrong I was, I'm suffering a bit with a bad chest but

Peppermint oil
Hi, I've bought some peppermint oil capsules today (Colpermin) but I'm a little confused how to take them. Do you just take them for relief during flare ups or are they intended to be taken regularly in an attempt to stop flare ups altogether? I often go a few weeks or more with no symptoms so I thought

20 minute power nap..........
Something I used to mention quite regularly, after having a head / brain injury, fatigue is a major consequence. A 20 minute power nap makes the world of difference. You don't even have to fall t sleep, just relaxing totally with your eyes shut for 20 minutes really helps. Like me, a lot of people who

Jobs for people with brain injuries
My 19 year old son was assaulted nearly a year ago and suffered a traumatic brain injury. We were told that his chances of survival were slim due to an arterial bleed into his brain. Thank the angels he survived and is with us today. He was due to start university last September but has been unable to

It's been a while, old 'friend'
Last night while out with my brother, sudden petit mal/partial/ deja-vu seizure knocked me sideways, backwards, all over the sodding place. Came home, went to bed and slept not a jot while my mind turned into a veritable food mixer of thoughts. Nonsense, song lyrics, problems, anything filled the void

Hows life been since brain injury?
How has your life been since your brain injury? Do you feel you are same as before or how have you changed? I had brain injury in 2012, was in hospital a month and half. Had to have physio to walk again but everyone said I made fast recovery. For me the worst thing about my accident was losing my dog

New member- don't know what's going on right now!
Hi everyone, I'm new here and very new to the subject of "brain injury" My fiancée fell down the stairs at home 2 weeks ago today. He suffered a bleed on his brain and had surgery to remove the clot. He has "multiple contusions" and a base of skull fracture and his brain is still swollen apparently.

Feel drunk constantly
Hello. Thought I would post on the topic that everyone doesn't really have an answer to. I know people are going through the same thing and might have an answer. My story started 8 months ago. Randomly started feeling drunk at the gym and went to the doctor. Within the 8 months I have literally been
