Update
My son fell 20 feet 7 weeks ago. He had large extradural haematoma and was in an induced coma for 10 days. The good news is that he's done really well since then and has now come home. I'm a bit sad because he has chosen to go to his Dad's house (were divorced) and his Dad is out at work all day. I worry

Long term cardio training possibly linked to abnormal heart rhythms
It's a bit late for runners and cyclists who've been exercising for 40 years, but the July edition of Men's Health mentions Manchester University's press release of May 2014 that long term cardio exercise can be linked with abnormal heart rhythms. The University of South Carolina found that running

Mum's birthday
Mum's birthday will soon be upon us and its another of the occasions that can bring into focus what has happened in what seems such a short period of time. The last birthday I had with Mum was a couple of years ago when I think that PSP was starting to take it's grip although not diagnosed - in fact

Colostomy
Dont panic. There is a lot of info on the internet. Type in bladder and bowel foundation. Ring colostomy assoc. Having a stoma is no big deal. It may be temporary for three months to let the intestines heal and will be reversed. I have opted for an ileostomy for incontinence. It will at least give me

Conservative Treatment
Is there anyone on the Conservative treatment as opposed to haemodialysis? I am interested in hearing if the research results of the same life expectancy with less unpleasant side effects are valid.

Coping when someone you love has a brain injury
My 20 year old son fell 20 feet last Wednesday. He landed on his head. He had a large extradural haematoma, has fractured his skull and has a few other injuries. He is still in ITU sedated and ventilated. He has woken up, but when they lighten the sedation he gets too agitated and they have to restate

Diet, Nutribullet and the immune system
Since my infection and hospitalisation in January which scared the s*** out of me, I've made a lot of changes and introduced new things into my diet. Apart from stopping alcohol altogether which I've done, there are three things I think have made a big impact: Echinacea and Elderberry tincture (Neal's

Low FIO2 Levels
This is the same thing that happens to me but only when I am in an exasperation, however; by the time I get an appointment with the pulmonologist I have started to feel better. So my FIO2 may drop but not as drastically or as much. So they have always looked at me like I was crazy. There in were the

So, I am not sure why I am doing this, but here goes. I have not been diagnosed with Depression or anything, but I know 100% I am totally f*cked up in the head, and have been since 6 years of age. Yea, I am the cliché, someone growing up with a horrific childhood that no one knows about, through my

Episodes of atrial ectopics after general anaesthetic.
Dear all. Yesterday I had nasal surgery under general anaesthetic. The surgery sought to correct a deviated septum and remove swollen turbinates. My idea is that if I can breathe easier, I can sleep better, and this would be good for my heart. The surgery appears to have gone well, though I am now

Self medicating via alcohol
Am I the only sinner on this site who turns to alcohol to self medicate. I've been to CDAS who tell me they don't deal with people like me cos I don't drink enough, and I'm a social drinker ( even though I drink alone behind closed doors). I'm seeing a counsellor at the moment and keeping a drink diary
