TUBERCULOSIS AND TREATMENT
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with pulmonary TB. After months of struggling I finally am seeing a difference with medication. I still have a long way to go with the medication. My question is why do I feel so tired. Lately I have been sleeping more and eating less. I can only stick to one meal a day

Loss of sight after a stroke
My husband had a stroke after heart valve replacement surgery. He has lost his sight. No one can tell me what to expect next. Has anyone on here been in the same situation?

Advice
Hi, I’m new here. Acute heart failure July 2018, many med changes without success, CRT-D fitted Nov 2018. Further med changes since then including changing from Ramipril to Entresto. Still no improvement. Now consultant is discussing heart transplant and I’m scared. Any support or advice very much appreciated

If I can't reach behind my back after surgery, how will I be able to use toilet paper? This is actually very worrisome!
Well, this is embarrassing! But I am scheduled to have open heart surgery on Tuesday so I was reading about it, and it says you can't reach behind your back for a few weeks afterwards. How am I going to use TP after taking a dump then? I'm single and alone so there is nobody I could ask for help with

Agonising Calf Pain
I’ve just finished Week 3 Run 3. Slightly dreading week 4 due to the pain I am experiencing in my inner calves. It started about week 2 run 2 and is like an agonising burning sensation. It causes me to woddle home and it’s very uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I get in a hot bath and use deep heat

Has anyone on here had a heart transplant? If so, can they tell me what its like to live after the operation? What changes do you have to make? What drugs do you have to take and are the side effects debilitating? Thanks in advance.

I just wish I could banish the fear of dying once and for all as it would probably cure my overall anxiety as well. I have been in hell since March being 56, morbidly obese for years with the fear of catching Coronavirus, and having found out four weeks ago I have heart failure and afib, I am utterly
