Stories of a Hospital Volunteer - "Smile" - 10 January 2022
Monday the 10th of January was my first visit to the hospital in 2022. I'd taken a lateral flow test that morning and was thankful the result was negative. Because of Covid, I’d heard that my usual ward was closed, and I was to go the floor below which was partially open for volunteers to visit. I was

Returning to work and tieredness
Hi I have been taking mitazapine 30mgs for over 4 weeks now after my gp increased the dose from 15mg but I'm finding that since I went back to work I'm not waking up well I fall easier and my balance is out for about an hour and I feel groggy and tiered all day and this in turn is making my depression

Vitamin D in winter months
Vitamin D2 is ingested from a healthy balanced diet and can be derived from everyday foods such as: Egg yolks and fatty fish like; trout, mackerel, salmon or tuna, as well as cod liver oil, or fortified milk, juices and cereals. Vitamin D3 however, is most efficiently produced when our skin is exposed

Cardiac Arrest, ICD, Breathlessness...
My partner aged 32 had a cardiac arrest at the beginning of January this year, he was in hospital for 3 weeks and now has an ICD fitted and is on bisoprolol medication. The doctors and consultants have ran many tests on him and said that there is nothing wrong with his heart. Of course, this is good

Jobs and icd/dcm
Hi all Just wondering if anyone has struggled with getting employment due to their heart condition or having an ICD? Since putting it on my CV I've stopped getting job offers or even being replied to. I spoke to my community health nurse and she recommended working from home, but my job background is

PPMS and Stimulants
Greetings! I have been on Modafinil since my MS diagnosis in 2018. Also, I already had been taking Adderall for about 10+ years for adult ADHD. I do find the Modafinil is helpful for the fog. Is anyone else on either one of these meds for MS? If so, how are they working for you? Thank you! Gracy

What meds do you take for bipolar disorder?
No need to list exact dosages, I'm just trying to get a feeling for what's being tried. I've recently switched from lamotrigine and ziparasidone (started causing tardive dyskinesia) to valproex acid, Latuda, and Concerta (a stimulant). But now I feel nauseated all the time and have lost my optimism,

Is inositol, hexaphosphate form, bad for CLL?
Hi, all. IP6 (a form of inositol called inositol hexaphosphate readily available as a supplement) has been shown to be very anti-cancer, including at least one blood cancer, AML I think. However, as I read about how it works, it seems to indicate that it increases or activates Bruton Tyrosine Kinase

Anybody else have extreme PTSD from their last relationship?
It's been a year and I still have not been able to date or have sex or make any romantic contact with a man. I'm 24 and I just see abusers in all men I see. It feels like yesterday I was being abused and I am still not healed from it. I'm just grateful that it's over. When will I feel better? When will

Help in the New Year?
Hi, my name is Melanie and I'm new here. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on eating disorders and getting help for them. I've had one since I was maybe seven or eight years old, but I didn't know it until it worsened around August this last year. I realized I've had this 13 years... it's

If you take anxiety meds, which has worked for you?
I used to take lorazapam and slept like a baby. I stopped taking it because my doctor recommended it. She doesn’t like prescribing controlled substances. It was originally prescribed by a psychiatrist. I tried buspirone (spelling?) which made me dizzy. I could really use a good one to help me during

About to start Duloxetine
Just wondering the best time of day to take Duloxetine? Prescribed 60mg daily. Any tips/comments will be much appreciated. Previously taken Gabapentin, came off that because it caused anxiety; tried Nortryptiline early in December and that seemed to make me quite ill with faintness/nausea. So I’m a bit

ICD
I would love to hear ICD experiences good or bad. It's been recommended but I haven not committed yet.
