TBI…Where is my life going!
I am totally losing track of time, days even weeks and years! My partner of 21 years died last year. He was my carer and although my symptoms have not changed. I have realised that my life is racing ahead and I am stuck at home 90% off the time. My family and friends are a few people who do the best

TBI. I have overcome any trauma in my life and yet I can not beat this!
Hi. I am new on here! In 2009 I was mugged and attacked and it left me with a TBI. I had bleeding and swelling on the brain which was missed on my first MRI. Having been through years of being misdiagnosed and not being listened too, my treatment has been delayed at every stage. I am permanently disabled

Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.

Nefopam
Has anybody tried nefpam for IBS pain? My GP has just prescribed them but I'm worried about nausea/vomiting. I've tried all kinds, pregagbin, mitazapine, amitriptyline, tramadol(makes me vomit), nothing seems to take away the constant pain

Traumatic brain injury
Hi everyone, I am new here and would just like to find out what other people do that have similar issues as me. I have a traumatic brain injury from a car accident in 2006 which I shouldn't have survived. I have a few issues as a result of this, the worst one being I get agitated easily and I often shout

Pain doesn't kill, but.........!!!
it is dambed difficult to live with.😏 I have upped my pred (7mg instead of 4 mg). I have PMR and Seronegative Polyarthritis (it's inflammatory). I will stay at 7mg for a month this time (PMRpro will be amazed)😊, then I'll reduce VERY slowly. Just feeling exhausted and "touchy". Needed a rant.👵🏻

Any experience/advice re drug storage (TCZ) when electricity off & no fridge due to power cut please?
My first post, be kind, I’m maybe just overthinking…. Does anyone have experience/advice on Drug storage when Electricity goes off so that biological injections aren’t rendered unusable please? Power cuts happen regularly during winter as we live in a village ‘in the sticks’ or the ‘wilds of wannee’

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Oral Morphine
I was prescribed oral morphine after my second hip replacement did not go well. I found that oral morphine did little to relieve my pain and caused chronic constipation. Sorry, not to be more encouraging.

Desperate need for advice, I am having to pull out of university because of persistent GI problems!
Hi there, I would be very grateful for any advice, For around 6 months I have been having ongoing GI problems. In this time I have had three quite severe flare-ups, two of which involved A&E visits however nothing was found (I am too used to this). My main symptoms are severe abdominal pain and nausea
