View 1 RepliesRecovering From Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles nearly 4 weeks ago ..
I have commented on this forum before giving my view on alternative options on medication.. Through diet , vitamins etc ..
I did not take any antiviral or strong painkillers as I am very hypersensitive and allergic to a lot of these chemicals ..
At the moment I am feeling a lot better still in some discomfort have my good and bad days .. The pain I had has some what subsided .. I have a little burning in my right hand side of my back and my tummy .. But nothing to the pain I have experienced.. I feel I am on the meant and hopefully make a full recovery .. And I just wanted to give some hope and reassurance to those still in recovery ..
But it would be great to know if anyone has NOT taken any medication for whatever reason and made a fully recovery or has not had a recurrence in the past few years...
Urology :: Recovering From TUIP
I'm only 27 and had an appendectomy a few weeks ago for perforated appendicitis with peritonitis. Following removal of the catheter, I couldn't urinate. They said it would get better, but three days later I went home with a catheter. 1200ml urine was drained. The surgeon suspected urethritis with a spasm of the bladder sphincter.
I was hospitalized 2 days later, and a Urologist told me to wait a few more days. We waited 4 days and there was not much improvement following catheter removal. Further diagnostics were performed. Urodynamics showed a severe obstructed flow and bladder outlet obstruction. CT showed a mildly heterogeneous prostate: prostration and urethritis.The Urologist concluded I had a stricture considering I was having a split urine stream for as long as I could remember and an epididymitis episode 3 months prior.
Cystoscopy was performed and a small incision was made at the bladder neck. I was catheterized for 5 days and after it was removed, the flow was much stronger than I can remember. I had some bloody discharge for the first 10 days. That was followed by lots of bleeding and clots in my urine for the next 15 with burning upon urination. I was given antibiotics. Bleeding stopped at 4 weeks. I have had two wet dreams so I don't have retrograde ejaculation which was a big concern.
Now my only worry is erections. I had really strong nocturnal erections in the first few days (even with the catheter). However, erections were painful in the sense my urethra felt like it was on fire. These erections woke me up several times at night.
The pain at night subsided but now I find that my morning erections are not rock hard. Sometimes, when I touch my erect penis, the burning pain stings. I get erections through stimulation too. But sometimes, especially when I touch my penis it hurts. I really haven't tried to achieve a full blown erection because of this fear. This burning pain occurs when I'm flaccid but that is rare. Sometimes, I also get a dull pain in the tip of the penis. In fact, my whole system feels "sore" as if I had sex only a few hours ago. It's been almost 5 weeks. I had contacted my GP when the pain first started and Urologist a few days later but they don't think much of this. I can't seem to find anything about this online.
Once I can get pain-free rock hard erections, I'll be much happier to have had the surgery since my urinary symptoms have improved. I had never considered a slowish split stream to be a problem before.
Mononucleosis :: Recovering From Mono?
I am 52 years old. I just discovered that a recent blood test came back positive for mono markers. My doctor told me that I am RECOVERING from mono but I can't remember EVER having mono! I've been suffering from fatigue and body aches (along with shortness of breath) for 3 months now. So, how long is this going to last and how is it possible to be recovering from something I don't ever remember having?
View 1 RepliesHip Replacement :: Staples Out And Recovering
I'm now 15 days post op and had my dressing removed and staples out yesterday. It wasn't very pleasant as the scar area has always felt raw from surgery as a child. The scar is over an old one but a little longer, so happy as originally was going to have another (3rd) scar!
The nurse couldn't believe I no longer have any swelling and have no bruising. I have hardly any pain in the hip now which is unbelievable. Just wondering if that's normal at this stage or because I'm none weight bearing on that leg?

View 3 RepliesVertigo / Dizziness :: Recovering From Labrynthitis
I am hoping to hear from people who are recovering from labrynthitis. I had my first episode of vertigo a month ago and am struggling to feel balanced again. The difficult part of it for me is knowing when to push and exercise my brain and when to rest. I have been going to work, but am finding that by about 2:00 p.m., I am spinning and very uncomfortable. If I work the whole day, my evening is totally awful - very very dizzy. Any suggestions?

View 2 RepliesAlcohol Consumption :: Living With A Recovering Alcoholic
I have lived with my partner for the past 4 years and when I met him he liked a drink, but at the time, it seemed just sociably. As the relationship progressed, so did his drinking, if we were out socially he would end up so drunk and quite embarrassing on a number of occasions. The drinking stepped up a notch when we bought our own place and for the past 3 years it has become a problem within the home more times than I care to mention, going from barely being able to speak, not wanting to do anything unless there was alcohol involved in the activity, making promises and reneging on them, wetting the bed, starting arguments when there was nothing to argue about, the culmination of this behaviour has been that 2 weeks ago he moved into the spare bedroom where he drank a bottle of vodka every night on his own, only to pop downstairs to start an arguement with my sons or me. I told him I wanted out, house to go on the market and go our separate ways. With that he made an appointment to see his doctor, who in turn said if he continues drinking what he drinks, he will be lucky to live beyond another 4 years... he is only 40 years old. He has confessed to me since the visit to the doctors that he's always drunk more than he should and has struggled with alcohol for the past 20 odd years. He has moved to his parents to start his detox and has to go back to the doctors in two weeks to let him know progress there has been, also he's been to a meeting with Inclusion, previously Homer, it was just an initial chat, they have given him some material to look through. He will go through an assessment following on from the next doctors appointment, and will then be assigned a key worker who he can chat to and will support him. I suppose what I want to know is how I'm supposed to behave towards him, whilst I still have feelings for him, I'm not sure I want to sign up to be with him forever as I just can't believe he will never touch a drop again. He's emailing me saying he still loves me and wants to get married when he's sober, but what's the reality of that? Do I tell him the truth that I can't stay with him or do I give him time to start the road to recovery without any stress from me?

View 13 RepliesThyroid :: Nodule Or GERD?
Had an ultrasound done after finding a lump in my throat. It is a mixed cystic and solid thyroid nodule 2.7cm x 1.6cm x 1.9cm which demonstrates peripheral vascularity, appears nearly isoechoic to thyroid gland and is partially surrounded by a hypoechoic halo or rim.
My family dr sent me to ENT who I saw today. He didn't say much about nodule except for he would like to biopsy it in 2 weeks. After asking me a series of questions he also wants to rule out GERDS. He also wants to repeat an antibodies test I had done back in May when I was having hypo symptoms. No antibodies and was on higher range for hypo, 3.75 and 3.99 . I also had a saliva test back in May and revealed I had very low below the range of cortisol in morning, noon and lowest range for afternoon and midnight. I have had some changing in my throat. Kind of sore a lot and a constant phlegm and cough, which I guess GERDS does from what ENT said. What does he think about nodule?

View 26 RepliesRamipril :: Palpitations, Difficulty Breathing
My wife was prescribed 10 milligrams/day dose of ramipril and nearly passed out in town, palpitations, difficulty breathing and pain in the chest. She was admitted to hospital with a view that she might have had a heart attack. They put a camera up her femoral artery but her heart was clear, no problems.
her blood pressure was 90 over 45. we stopped her taking the Ramipril and all her symptoms disappeared. It was as if the tablets were producing the palpitations and the chest pains which she was taking more and more tablets for.
