EHIC Card
Reading between the lines I sometimes get the impression that some people think the EHIC card negates the need for travel insurance with the EU, Norway, Switzerland and some other counties.

New consultant
After all these years seeing my Lupus consultant I will see a kidney consultant on Thursday for the 1st time since starting dialysis. It'll be weird seeing someone else and talking predominantly about something else from now on rather than just how the lupus is doing. The plan was to alternate between

What possible charges will Medicare part B cover that my Blue Cross Blue

CPAP machineto help breathing with coronavirus
I’m new here.. I’m over 70 with reduced lung capacity/pulmonary hypertension. Worried about the effects of covid19 I wonder if there would be any benefit in using my CPAP machine to assist my breathing if I get the virus. The CPAP machine is to prevent sleep apnoea and just pumps air (not oxygen) into

Questions..
Hey all just came back to work and university which has been helping me distract myself. Thank you all for the kind messages. Now I have a question. My mom was told she had multifocal invasive breast cancer, and they also told us it was a rare type. Oncologist says it is kind of random how she was checked

I'm new here
I'm nearing renal failure again & have no wish to restart dialysis. The few loved ones that I've told did not take it well & I'm feeling a bit selfish. I can't seem to find the right way to explain that this is my choice while trying to also comfort them. Any one have any words of wisdom?
