Wounds

Does anyone have any advice about overcoming stage fright? I'm pretty good at public speaking and performing, but I don't think I'm living it to my full potential because I get really queasy sometimes when I speak or perform in front of people and so am a bit more timid than I could be otherwise. Then

I’m about to start a 2 week course of self administration antibiotics , I work in a school and I have been told I should be able to have a normal day despite having a line in my arm, had anyone else had this , how did it effect your day to day life?

Hello, I have been invited in off the cancellation list for Monday (the 11th) for my diagnostic laparoscopy. I’m terrified and worrying about everything due to already having anxiety but the main question I have is can I have the operation done if I am on my period? I started Wednesday so it’s going

Greetings All Just when you thought (er, hoped?) I'd gone quiet here, I have in fact been quite busy behind the scenes. Well, yep: the dreaded DF does has its drawbacks. But, as they say, there are 2 sides to every coin. Here are the latest Gems spotted in the small ads... 1973 Mk.1 Batmobile. 1

It’s dredged up some old wounds and feelings i’ve pushed deep down. My City has been passing out flyers about suicide prevention. Talking to people and spreading the word on how to look for warning signs and how to talk to someone if you fear they are in trouble. It’s great.

Hello, four weeks after my laparoscopy and my belly button incision still isn’t healed. When I went to have the stitches removed 2 weeks ago the doctor prescribed me some antibiotic cream and after a week it seemed to be settled, but a couple of days ago I must of interuppted the healing whilst examining

Hi Has anyone had any form of hand/wrist surgery? I have been offered several surgical interventions - wrist fusion, partial wrist replacement, full wrist replacement or nerve removal. I’m struggling to decide which will be best as I cannot envisage what it will be like post surgery. I am in my early

I have just had a little look through some of the fact sheets people had kindly told me to look through and I cant believe the things I have in common with them especially the problems with feet. After having gbs and time went on I ended up with flat feet,i have lost all of my arches and get terrible

It’s also very good at telling you when something is wrong and it’s best feature is that it heals wounds and heals it’s self against illness and disease ( sometimes with a little help ) but when anxiety sets in in our minds we try to take over its natural functions and we start to stick our beaks in

Had an ablation done last Thursday and afterwards was told that it was cryo ablation for pulmonary vein isolation in left atria and RF ablation for atrial flutter in the right one. Just curious if anybody had both done during the same procedure. Thank you all from the bottom of my healing heart for

Open wounds all over my body.. no longer breathing normal... antibiotics, steroids, bronchial infection... blood clots are being coughed up. The doctors want to still run test after years of proof. Aspergillu[u]s[/u], Candida overgrowth. I am hip to you now. Fighting for my life; and voice!

You are beautifully created... be free You deserve to let go and start over...let yourself be yourself, be free! Forgive. It’s okay to be with the pain and then to let it go. Say goodbye loud enough so that the ends of the earth will hear you. This is it. It’s all you. It will work. You may find more

After injuring my leg last February, and MRSA infecting it, an ulcer developed. I had to have my leg bound with dressings, three times a week until September. The skin has remained very thin, and even a slight scratch bleeds profusely. Since all this I have been kept awake at night with this same leg

Hello Ladies, I had a diagnostic laparoscopy 8 days ago. Since then I have been having pain just before I'm about to finish urinating and when doing number 2 especially when I am constipated. It mostly when I am pushing. I can feel the pain when I touch my belly just where my bladder is. I don't have

Hi guys I just wanted some advice. I had a diagnostic laparoscopy last Tuesday and they found sticking between my rectum and womb area, ovarian cysts on both ovaries and I have a heart shaped womb. They couldn't do anything because I need a bigger operation, I'm guessing they will have to make a big

I wish we had the option of not paying National Insurance contribution and instead paying towards a private medical fund!!! No one is helping us and this is affecting all our lives!!!! It’s outrageous how long we have to wait!!! I’m not sure about u ladies but having to miss work cos I can’t walk is

I have irregular red lumps, pigmentation and wounds in one cheek because of an aesthetic procedure gone wrong.

My trauma is older than my relationship with him, but the wounds are raw again. There is too much I don't understand and too much that I am reluctant to ask. Sometimes I have deep hateful feelings of resentment even though I know he doesn't deserve them.

It is now a week since the PM was implanted. Somehow I had the idea that it would be a simple procedure which I would quickly recover from, but that has not been my experience. I have had 5 ablations so I know how it feels after that, but this week has been a complete surprise to me. There is the

Well it's a week now post CRT-D implantation and I do feel a little better for it, but early days yet. No problems during the day as regards pain, night time was a problem and I had to take painkillers before I could sleep. Turns out it was the large plaster left over the wound that was causing some
