TENS machine
I was gifted a TENS machine for Christmas. I only suffer occasionally from mild aches and pains but this is supposed to act like a massager as well as giving pain relief, (it has different settings). Does anyone have any experience using a TENs machine and how good they are? Appreciate there are probably

ADT is similar to a strict, difficult mother-in-law
ADT is similar to a strict, difficult mother-in-law or a picky, cranky father-in-law: It wears us out and makes us tired. It wants us go to bed early, and not stay up late. It wants us to exercise a lot to remain healthy. It wants us to avoid smoking. (See the ABCDE strategy mentioned by Dr. Alicia

What’s it really like? Birth Story…
After posting questions on here when I was pregnant, such as what is it like to give birth, what are the signs before you started labour, if anyone had experience of birth following LLETZ and reading others questions. I just wanted to post something after I’d given birth. My DD is now 18 weeks old.

AF/VT after Covid - My Story
Hi all, this is my first post. I'm 62 and have been on meds for high BP for about 10 years. I was having palpitations around half a dozen times a year for the past few years, and then after getting Covid in July 2021 (Delta variant) they started getting more regular (every week or two) and for longer

Apixaban and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
After taking Apixaban for 6 days (2x5mg, daily) I woke this morning with a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye. Yesterday, the eye had been bloodshot and itchy; I had hoped that it was just conjunctivitis and would clear up. As I had a similar subconjunctival haemorrhage three years ago, two

Strange reactions to surgery.
I had heart surgery about 15 months ago and have had to deal with a lot of complications. A stroke being the main one. A couple of the smaller issues got buried, but I was wondering if anyone identified. I jump out of my skin at sudden noises such as the phone ringing. I also well up at emotional moments

The French Paradox - Why the French Have the Lowest Incidence of Heart Disease in the Developed World
Wine should be consumed in moderation. I drink one glass of red wine with my dinner, between 1 and 3 times per week.

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Managing flare up advice needed, struggling to cope!
Just wondering how people cope when their pain flares up? Do people have some kind of management plan to deal with them? I’m yet to be formally diagnosed and am awaiting Diagnostic Laparoscopy. I’m getting increasing frequency of pain flares in my pelvis, hips, low back and upper legs, they’re excruciating

Gluten free lentil pie with roast potatoes
Hi everyone, this is what I made for dinner it’s a pie with lentils onions and vegetables with a pie crust made using a crumble recipe as that’s a lot easier than making pastry that’s why it looks a bit rough and ready LOL. I sautéed diced onion in a little olive oil before adding frozen mixed veg and
