Found a Medic who was NICE and KIND to me leading to prolific tears.
She confirmed that I am on
Palliative
Care
as I have only months left to live. She confirmed the diagnosis of Hughes Syndrome (APS) as the cause of my bleeding problem. She bipassed her surgery protocol so my GP can talk to me quickly. The Receptionist wouldn’t help.

Pulmonary Fibrosis, irreversible and terminal,
Question is, as it is a unpleasant way to die, and already discussed with my GP,
palliative
care
, it will get more painful as condition progresses, which analgesic will be best for heavily sedating me?

Well, that escalated quickly...
Hey everyone. I joined here a few weeks ago having been diagnosed with angina. I have obviously had cardiac problems building up over the years but I've been asymptomatic (as far as I am aware). Following a CT scan and an angiogram (both of which were great, the medics and staff all brilliant) I need

Had surgery on June 22nd and I have stage 4 OC that doc described as aggressive
I asked doc if this a situation for
palliative
care
and she responded that she wants to cure me. She said the OC has not invaded my bladder, but it was growing on the outside and she scraped the cancer cells off.

Rucaparib, info and experiences please
Also, in the light of Covid19, does it mean I'll be stuck indoors isolating all the time I'm taking the drug, because I really am not sure its worth it if I have to continue with shielding for months on end... especially now that
palliative
care
services such as draining have been restored.

Shorty864 - Anne has lost her last battles
Finally, she decided enough was enough and chose to reject hospice and
palliative
care
, and instead enjoyed her last days at home with her husband, Allesandro and her adult children. I am very saddened by her passing. I wish there had been some miracle that would have saved her.

Why liver patients have such a hard time
For the sake of time I will just say this- I am now having to take Morphine and am receiving
Palliative
Care
. Many of my body systems are unhappy and causing me untold difficulties. My Consultant informed me upon diagnosis of Cirrhosis - (a year ago).

Looking for Practical Help
Since the cabg was done I have been even more ill, their last throw of the dice didn't work and I am now at 36 received
palliative
care
for advanced heart failure. The thing I am struggling with is practical help to allow me to live as independently as I can for as long as I can.

palliative
care

Can anyone knit? Apologies, I know this is a running forum...
I was just reading the very sad post from Hidden and it occurred to me that some of you may be able to support a
palliative
care
initiative that some hospitals are using.

rise of bg with LCHF
I am using LCHF diet already 4 years. It worked well, but during last 2 months I have often higher bg before lunch in spite of eating the same breakfast each day. Today I have 6,9 mmol/l (125 mg/dl). Usually I have between 5,6-5,9mmol/l. What is cause of such rise of bg ? Not food but may be less
