complete fear of surgery after post concussion syndrome
My mum had experienced some PCS after a head injury. She is in her 80s. She has been improving and her memory is much better. Her head injury seems to have made her more cautious and scared than before. This is going to have very serious consequences for her. I have sent this question to headway's help

CT Scan
Hi all you lovely ladies Have any of you been asked to just drink water an hour before your scan and no contrast at all? Apparently this is being trialled and my friend is quite worried that she was asked as her prognosis is now palliative. She is now concerned that something could be missed and could

Bed wetting regression
Hey all My nearly 3.5 year old boy has started wetting the bed again. He's been dry during the day since 22 months and dry of a night for nearly a year with the odd accidents at nighttime. Just over a month ago he reverted back to wet beds every night for about 4 weeks and now we are 50/50 with dry

I guess anxiety has its perks.
Today I had to go out because I missed a delivery and they couldn't deliver it without seeing my ID (It was e-liquid for my e-cigarette so age restricted)... believe me I did not want to go out, not because of my anxiety but because of my lack of motivation to do anything. Depression apparently.. anyway

Rectal prolapse advice please
Hi all, I've had several invasive tests lately, including a proctogram and a colonoscopy. Had an appointment with my consultant yesterday and he's told me I have a rectal prolapse but before he can decide wether to operate, wants to have a look, with me under a general anaesthetic. Was just wondering

Sudium picosulfate questions
Hi all, My son has been moved from movicol to sodium picosulfate as the movicol didn't seem to be working. We've been told to give him 5-10 mls a day of it (he's an average-sized 5.5 year old). It's helped clear him out and we're having less accidents I have 2 questions about it though 1. His poo is

Can headachs be connected to Virtigo
Hi there, I'm nearly sixty years of age, about 10 years ago I started to get headachs when I drank, not wanting to give up this pleasure entirely I stopped drinking what I was drinking, red wine mainly, and moved onto vodka tonic. After a while I couldn't drink these either, so I moved onto beer. Now

Why has my Gastroenterologist diagnosed me with IBS when my Calprotectin level is 1700?
Health problems for about a year, bowels struggling to move, not typical constipation (stools are soft), blood and mucous in them, only diarrhoea and faecal incontinence on a couple of occasions. Nausea, headaches, tiredness, dizzy turns, aching thighs, swollen abdomen, but no pain or stomach cramps

Also...terrible chills
One of the symptoms OH is finding most difficult to deal with is sudden onset chills. Pretty much every evening, and this week sometimes randomly during the day, he suddenly gets freezing cold, covered in goose pimples and can't warm up. Doesn't matter how warm it is in the room or how many clothes he's

Deja vu, depression and anxiety
Hey, I'm new here. I've struggled with constant deja vu for 3 years living in a world where nothing seems real and as if I'm going to die any second. It feels magnified at night time when I'm going to sleep as I think I won't make it to the next day and any little feeing in my body scares me :( does

Desmopressin. Speed of affectiveness and altered behaviour.
Hi Folks and happy Easter. We've had my son on 100mg Desmomelts for just over a week now but there has been absolutely no improvement at all on them, in fact there have been a couple of mornings it seems that it is worse. I've been trying to find out just how quick they are supposed to work as my understanding

Use of fentanil patch in hypoxic brain injury
Hi guys, hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend as much as possible. It's been a while since I wrote but due to recent developments I am in need of your advice again. We had a consultant coming over from another centre to give a second opinion. As opposed to the Ines caring for my mom, he thinks

Access to medical records for my daughter who is 20
Hello My daughter has an acquired brain injury due to hypoxia, from which she is recovering. 6 weeks in and she is progressing well, just a long way way to go regarding her memory and cognitive function. I think it would be important to have access to her medical records going forward as she has major
