how sleepy does amitriptyline make you?
I am on fluoxetine and have now been prescribed amitriptyline for pain relief, the fluoxetine is already helping me sleep better but as I have a stoma i'm worried the amitriptyline will make me too sleepy to wake if my stoma bag needs emptying. It's ok for the doctors to say try it but they are not the

Not so great news for Matthew
Last time I posted, Thomas was at home and we were waiting for Matthew to follow. All Matthew needed to do was continue to feed and grow. The hospital were increasing his feeds more and more but quite aggressively and he began to not tolerate them. One Saturday morning in October, we received a phone

Stoma issues
I had a stoma after my second chemo due to a bowel perforation. When I had my TAH my bowel was resected as well but my stoma was not reversed at the same time as I was still having chemo and the fear of another blockage was too great. It's healed and ready for reversal but I've been too frightened

steroids and digestive issues???
I was recently prescribed high dose antibiotics and steroids for 5 weeks following the appearance of a very unwelcome lung lesion on my ct scan back in June. Whatever it was has shrunk in my latest ct scan and is now barely visible so it did the trick. However since finishing the steroids I have had

Unauthorised procedure question
Hi folks, I'm having a bit of a dilemma at the moment and decided to see what others feel about this. I'm in the UK if that helps. The short of it is: If you went into hospital for planned surgery and awoke to find that an additional procedure had been carried out without your authorisation, would

Will surgery have long term effects?
I have had it confirmed I have bowel cancer and am waiting for surgery to remove my colon. This will leave me with an ileostomy- stoma and bag - permanently. Will this effect the absorption of thyroxine? Any other effects I should be aware of?
