PATHOLOGICAL CRYING
"Pathologic tearfulness (emotional incontinence) is a disorder of emotional expression rather than a primary disturbance of feelings." It's not you - it's your brain injury. I cry easy - too easy. I often lose credibility with the doctor when it happens to me. The imbalance of power in the exam room

Besremi approved. Not what?
Updated: 1/27/2022: Tomorrow is the day I start Besremi. I was dx with PV 4/15 (tax day in US) in 2015. Since then I've only had phlebotomies and taken aspirin. I've had no issues or challenges other than low ferritin which I believe contributed to my fatigue. I immediately upon dx began educating

Phantom Pain
I have suffered with this since a BKA (Below Knee Amputation) in 2020. The last few days it has tended to start after I go to bed. I am tied and want to sleep yet suffer various pains (cramp, pain in ankle, burning in big toe area). It may take a couple of hours to drift off. I am on 3 x 300mg Gabapentin

Explosion
Hi So today was day 3 of no bowel movement, been taking 1 senna morning and night then also today took 5mg of bisacodyl. Around 8pm I had the worst stomach pain and cramps and had to run to the bathroom. Once I realised the plug (well that’s what it felt like) I was then like a tap, felt like my insides

Taking Boron
Have decided to try taking Boron. Want to avoid taking medication although I do take vitamins D and K 2. Any advice please on dosage and best place to buy? I also have some osteoarthritis - mainly in neck and I have read that it can help here too. Grateful for any thoughts!

Full-on Christmas
Merry Christmas all. I have an ABI since 2009. God yesterday (xmas day) was hard and exhausting. The noise, the excitement, the busyness, the overeating. I have to take an hour rest every day. Yesterday I needed two rests. This evening I made the ultimate mistake. I took out a Where's Wally jigsaw that

Sudden change of management
Hi. Firstly I must mention how grateful I am to have found this group. I’ve been feeling very isolated, frightened and alone. I am 62, I was diagnosed with ET 16 years ago. I’ve been managed on daily aspirin all this time. Honestly, I’ve hardly thought about my condition all these years. I’ve been monitored

Help! What to do after faecal disimpaction
Hello, I'm new to this chat. I have a 3 year old who is currently going through faecal disimpaction. We are on about day 3, seems to be going according to plan. My question is, once all the blocked up poo has been removed and he poo is watery/bitty, can I just encourage lots of fluids and give him prune

Hi, Does anyone have any long-term experience of using high-fiber Psyllium capsules for IBS constipation?
I have just started using them and they seem to help with bowel movements although I am unsure about bloating and abdominal pain!

Obstructive defecation

Hello from the newby
Hello. I was diagnosed just over thirty years ago after feeding extreme pain all over my body. I have an injury in my leg caused by football, where a piece of my bone fractured and as I grew up, it grew out. I had an operation called an Exostosis Removal of the bone and just in time too as it was going

Constipation vs obstipation?
I'm still not clear on the difference. In my case PD causes difficulty evacuating the bowels. Without treatment what ultimately comes out is...massive. Forcing it out there's constant fear of something tearing inside. Using colace the stools were less frightening meaning they were smaller

COVID-19 Mortality, Hospitalization Risk Higher in Patients With Blood Cancers
We've discussed this often here. This is the latest from ASH 2021.

Update
HI my friends! I have now seen my MPN specialist twice. I was back to see him in Nashville on November 29. My diagnosis has changed from ET to PV which is what I kept thinking (since April)! My HCT was at 47.5, so I had my first phlebotomy of 500MLs. Yahoo! I had been begging my previous Dr to do this

Possible way GCA can turn on.
I was watching a YouTube channel yesterday that had to do with women getting fillers on their face. The doctor was teaching a class and had a woman in the chair and he was marking up her face for the fillers and was extremely careful about showing exactly where needles cannot be hit on our face because
