I know it's 3 years later but I wanted to write this in case someone needed to see. This thread helped me so much when my dad was in the ICU on a ventilator. When they took my dad off of sedation he didn't wake up right away. He is a peritoneal dialysis patient and drugs leave his system much slower.

Runny eyes after virtual colonoscopy
I had a virtual CT scan on 2nd January. I was given intravenous buscopan and imaging fluid. Yesterday my eyes were watery and very slightly sore (they still are today). I was given an information sheet about going to A&E if I developed very red eyes and sight disturbance. My symptoms don’t match but

Worried about withdrawing from DHC Continus
Due to a spinal injury some 20+ yrs ago, I was put on Dihydrocodeine Continus, 60mg tabs 3 times a day. GP has just been reissuing the prescription for the last 20 odd yrs without really discussing these meds with me, or about changing for another drug. Now after 20yrs they just suddenly stop the prescription

Tremor at the dentist
I have an embarrassing problem. My anxiety arcs up at the dentist and I cant stop the tremor in my left arm. Is there anything I could take before I go to ward off the tremor?

Really struggling with the fear that I'm going to have another fall while running
I had a nasty fall in May last year when I tripped on a gravel path while running. I messed my face up in a big way and damaged my shoulder. I've back running since the autumn and I'm pretty OK when I'm on the grass but when I'm running on a hard surface I get very nervous. It's been one of my ambitions

Horizant tapering
Dear All: Apologies- I might be unintentionally reposting this: I have been on Horizant for about seven months, at 600mg in the morning and 600mg in the evening (1,200 mg total). Before that, I was on 600mg Gabapentin daily for two years. Recently, my doctor and I have agreed to reduce my Horizant

Imetelstat Users?
Hi All, I have Myelofibrosis and have been taking Jakavi for about 3 years, and it has been pretty successful in suppressing my symptoms. Unfortunately my symptoms are slowly returning, my spleen has enlarged to 215mm and a bone marrow biopsy has shown that the fibrosis is now pretty advanced. I

I would love to hear about your experience and how it's going.... Do you have a in home care giver or are you solo? How long did it take to get comfortable with the process or do you ever get comfortable with it?

Bleeding 3 weeks on desogesterel
I have been taking Desogesterel since March and at first it was fine, I still had a monthly bleed on it which was not painful. In July I discussed future conception with a GP who told me that i would be fine coming off the pill and ignored my endo diagnosis because i had it done privately.. I came off

PNT article on recent success in generating locus coeruleus (LC) norepinephrine (NE) neurons, to study their role in diseases such as PD.
"Nerve cells originating in the locus coeruleus extend throughout the brain and spinal cord via an extensive branching system, where they release norepinephrine to regulate heartbeat, blood pressure, arousal, memory, and attention." "In Parkinson’s, the locus coeruleus is one of the first brain regions

Steroid induced myopathy
I've been on Pred for 5 years for PMR albeit pretty low doses 2/3 mg for a long while. My rheumatologist seems to think the PMR might have burnt out and I possibly have steroid induced myopathy. The aches and stiffness is in similar areas to before. Does anyone have any experience in this?

Final stages of CBD
Hi all My dad is in the final stages of CBD and in fact the Palliative Care Consultant seems to think we have less than 3 months left with him. I am really really struggling with this and can't bear the thought of not having my dad but this illness is the cruellest illness I have ever encountered.

Pregabalin and drowsiness
Hi there, My consultant put me on Pregabalin for RLS few weeks ago. He put me on 50mg for a week then on to 100mg from second week. As soon as I moved up to 100mg, I have experienced extreme drowsiness to the extent it has affected my work and made my jet lag worse. I have been on 100mg for nearly

The dialysis journey continues at home
Here is my latest on my journey in home hemodialysis. I started this process on October 16th. And we came home on December 18th.

Totally distraught and worried!!!
Hi everyone, I’m so scared. I really need someone to tell me everything will be okay. I keep crying as I’m so distraught this has happened. My husband is amazing but can only do and say so much as this isn’t happening to him. I really need hope right now. I’m soon to be 42 and am 5 months postpartum
