Home hemodialysis supplies
My hubby passed away and I have a months worth of supplies. Any ideas on who may be able to use them. My renal center said that must be thrown away. Considering the cost I am reluctant to do this

Pain post-hysterectomy
Hello, I'm 13 weeks post-hysterectomy and endo excision, which I opted for as all else failed. I had endo and adenomyosis- long story! I seemed to be doing really well, and now today I was awake very early due to pain and crazy bloating. I can barely sit up or walk, it's horrible. I did try some stretches

School Residential Trip
My son is 9 and has always suffered from an overactive bladder. He has to really rush to the toilet when he needs to go. At school he's allowed to leave class without asking whenever he needs to and he wears padded under pants which help if he doesn't quite make it in time, but they won't contain a

Desmopressin stopped working
Hi there, this is my first time posting, and I'm hoping others in similar situations can share advice. My 11 year old son still wets the bed. He's been using desmopressin and an alarm since October. Initially things got better (waking up sooner when the alarm sounded, and fewer wet nights) to the point

Withholding help!
We are on our 5th day of maximum laxido sachets for dissimpaction for my 3 year old and she is still withholding constantly. So far, she will only poo when fast asleep and unaware. I keep trying to explain to the gp that maybe if she poos whilst awake, I can help reassure her it doesn't hurt and break

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

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!

Long overdue 'anti alcohol report'
Morning, I hope you find this relevant. It's been seen as a watershed proclamation. The so called benefits of small amounts alcohol (especially wine) have been touted for centuries when it comes to cardiovascular health. Four days ago the World Heart Federation officially changed the message. Unequivocally

Desperate need for advice, I am having to pull out of university because of persistent GI problems!
Hi there, I would be very grateful for any advice, For around 6 months I have been having ongoing GI problems. In this time I have had three quite severe flare-ups, two of which involved A&E visits however nothing was found (I am too used to this). My main symptoms are severe abdominal pain and nausea

AV Node Ablation Update
Hello and Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone Thought I’d update you on my current situation. I had a Pacemaker fitted on June 30th as the first stage of Pace and Ablate after my third ablation failed in Sept 2020 and drugs didn’t help. The AV node ablation was meant to be 4-6 weeks after the PaceMaker

Stories from a Hospital volunteer - "From major to minor"
Monday 6th December As some of you know, I occasionally write up a story or two from my Volunteering at a London Hospital, my role being a “Ward Musician.” But in Covid times I'm restricted to the use of a Blue-tooth speaker and the use of the Spotify App to search for patients’ musical requests. But

How long to wait for a tracheotomy
Hello. So my brother has been weaned off sedation abit. However he has been becoming distressed- not surprising as he has a tube down his throat and the nurses have told him where he is. He is still not fully unsedated - his partner is struggling as she showed him a picture of their daughter but he was

Brother due a tracheostomy
Hi. So update is that my brother is due a tracheostomy but will have to be last in theatre as he is in a covid ward. Apparently one of the nurses slightly reduced his sedation and he was following her around the room with his eyes. She then put his partner on the phone and she was talking to him and
