Experiences with

Wounds

I have been looking at the delightful picture of the Italian honey bee with pollen on its legs. What I am puzzled about is on the right. I cannot make out what it is hovering over. Can someone enlighten me? Years ago my father used to keep bees and I used to watch him and also help put the honey in

I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

On top of PMRGCA I've also been diagnosed with Reynards disease, also diagnosed with cellulitis, Having numerous open wounds on my leg.

I’ve been taking Calcium Carbonate on and off for over 5 years but my stomach really doesn’t like it. It makes me gassy and and causes me to have stomach ache. I have read that Calcium Citrate is more gentle on the stomach so I am trying to find what the equivalent calcium citrate is to calcium carbonate

I was diagnosed with Raynards early last year,but around the last 7-8 months my skin on my fingers have been cracking really bad ,causing open wounds . My question is does anyone think this could be to do with raynards or underlying condition? I also have Artheritis.

Recovery has been pretty onerous, gas pains took a week to subside, wounds took 3 weeks before they finally started to heal up, and I'm still not able to walk more than about 10 minutes without pain. The latest thing is abdominal pain when I do anything.

I've had chemo/debulking surgery/ chemo, and have just come to the end of the post surgery chemo. I've been told all along that I will continue with Bevacizumab as a maintenance treatment (I've had 3 rounds of it alongside chemo, 2 before the surgery and 1 after). I caught COVID towards the end of

I was taking 0.5mg of lorazepam twice a day for 6 weeks then 0.5mg for 3 weeks then 0.25mg for 2 days then stopped I’m on day 6 of no lorazapam and for the past 3 days I’ve have heart palpitations and anxiety pretty bad as anyone else experienced this when coming off such a low dose?

Like a lot of us I get skin tares and sometimes wind up with a nurse practitioner dressing the wound. Recently I had one on my leg and the dressing had to be kept dry. ‘Oh no! No showers.’ I moaned, (I’d like to say it it wasn’t a moan but it was 🙄). ‘ Haven’t you heard of Limbo?’ She replied. Well

Today is not a good day for me. I didn't sleep well last night. Woke with stomach ache. I have IBS and can't take any ppi s except for pepcid. I also am on Elliqus, Elvail and slow-mag. I have several allergies too. I am trying to stay positive but I could really use some encouragement right now. I

I have mania episodes too much high as I went off of antidepressants. I was a couple of months off of meds. But due to angerness my psychiatrist started Divalproex Sodium solution and Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl meds. I saw Divalproex comes under black box warning in US. I live in India. I am a little

I have been on Prednisone for just over a year. I am down to 10mg and cannot titer down without flare. I am waiting for approval for Kevzara. I have noticed that when I get a small cut or skin abrasion (which is more frequent since my skin is thinner with steroid use) It gets very red and takes a long

How am I supposed to move on from this when the wounds are still there and I have that constant reminder?

yet again I am having issues getting my Morningside T3 and I run out today and after last time of going without for 3 days I was so ill for over 2 weeks One pharmacy informed me they have Alliance and Advance? Can anyone tell me if either are both FREE of Mannitol and Acacia so I can try one of them

I would like to say , yes break ups are terrible, but I would take a break up over a panic attack attack anyday of the week, I know they are similar , from the time you awake to the time you go to sleep you have that person in your mind, and it's awful and terrible, but time heals those wounds,, try

😅Anybody else experienced some trepidation prior to exposing one's battle wounds?

I go out for a 15 minute walk twice a day, occasionally get round the shops with my family, my wounds are healing nicely and I'm not in any pain to speak of. I just wish I could breathe a bit more easily. My breathing is quite shallow but when I'm sitting still I feel ok.

Wounds like a burn and a scratch are taking ages to heal. I am older, 66, and I know this can happen. Any suggestions for tests I could ask for and is there any point asking for them. Best wishes Fiona

I was painting a landscape. but was so far behind. I wanted a painting I could post this evening or tomorrow morning. So Far - my mind was a blank. I realised I had a Heart Canvas, had been used but I blacked out with Mars Black. I painted a Candle in red/white and a Magenta Heart at the foot of

Has anyone been prescribed Synarel (the sniff drug that stops your ovaries producing estrogen). I’m starting it in a few days, along with Evorel conti. The theory is, if the pain stops I can go straight for a full hysterectomy to avoid many potential laparoscopies in the years to come. Bit scary making
