Intro post/vent
Hi! First time posting, and I sort of wish it wasn't just because I need some understanding ears to vent to! I had a minor head injury almost a year ago now. There's no pain anymore- that faded in about 4 months, but I still find myself a bit vacant and scatterbrained, and my short term memory has gotten

Hospice-ask your doctor and look into it.
Our neurologist recommended hospice for my husband in dec 2018. My father was dying and put off until now. We met, he was approved and I can’t tell you how helpful after one visit -all within an hour and a half. His lift recliner had broken, we got a new one this afternoon. He will get a hospital bed

Every parent wants to make the right choices for their children. This becomes more complicated where a child has a visible difference. The following story is fictitious but very real in terms of the issues involved. Florence's 10 month-old daughter, Paige, was born with Syndactyly a condition where

New strange symptom
Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well, I’ve been experiencing some strange sensation when I’ve been drinking cold drinks and it’s really hard to explain but here goes. When I drink a cold drink I have one part of the roof and back of my mouth that go numb - it’s as if I’m about to get brain freeze but

nerve cells work mechanically rather than chemically
This is a repeat of the Fibromyalgia Post Many of the strange times that happen in Fibromyalgia I believe happen for mechanically reasons. The medical model of how nerves work is known to many a medical professional. This model is known to be flawed and does not explain why physical treatments that are

Going home
Hello all, I am going home bone biopsy ok 👌🏼 so they will get haematology to come see me. Who will give me instructions. I won’t be leaving until late afternoon so just a little longer here. I was told I was going back with new drugs - I think this was what they said. https://www.macmillan.org.uk

Discontinuation of 10mg chloripramine
Hi, for years I was on 10 mg of chloripramine, which suited me . Then 4 years ago, I went up to 20mg after some stress. It’s been fine. Then I was feeling so much better earlier this year, I started occasionally taking 10 mg again. Then I was told they don’t make 10mg anymore, the lowest dose is 25mg

Women's physio
Hi there, I was at physio for my shoulder injury and was telling her about my bowel issues which in turn has given me some bladder issues as well, she said about doing something called women's physio therapy which she says can help with incontinence, as I currently have urge incontinence due to chronic

Up and running again.... post achilles pain
After nearly two weeks on injury couch (with a bit of cycling, and lots of cleaning to do to keep me fit and busy), I found myself pacing the lounge desparate to get out... so at 10pm I braved the dark (in lovely moon light) and went out with my two bouncy 'guard' dogs (not) and ran a super slow 2km

In Hospice as of now.
My second attempt at setting up palliative/hospice care happened yesterday with a visit from the intake nurse from the new agency. She told me when she was still doing field work she had three cases of PSP. She actually knew something about the disease. I felt like this was the place we should be. Someone

Injury strikes.... So unhappy
It's been a rubbish week. Long days at work have meant an extra "rest" day as couldn't fit in a run. So today I went out really excited to get week6 run2 under my belt. First 10mins hard but okay. Jo told me to set off again when my knee decided to pop. Had to hobble back to the car and admit defeat

Episiotomy scar
Hi Everyone, just wondered if anyone has been referred to gynaecology for a painful episiotomy scar? I did have a rather traumatic birth which was complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage and since then my scar has been painful (10 months after giving birth!) 😞 My GP has been fantastic and has recommended

Week 9Run 1
So, was pretty anxious before this run. My last run was five days ago but due to a combination of jet lag, three days of thunderstorms and having to order a different size of running shoes, this is the first day I had a chance to get out. Managed to get out in the morning before it gets too hot over

The story so far...
I started the C25K journey on the 11 March. In that time I've done 68 runs and covered just shy of 300km (I'm not including rugby matches and the distance figure includes the time spent walking during the early interval phase of the plan). Not only am I able to run further and faster than I was before

Back at it
After 10 days of hell resting a groin injury, finally today I got back at it, was up nice and early, gear on and a plan to take it easy, promised myself some walk breaks if things got too much. Also decided for the first time to say goodbye to Jo and run on my own. I was nervous to be honest didn’t know
