All Things Health

Scientific research when it is backed by the ones hoping for a good outcome lol that will always be a thing... that is why we need to follow the money! People are so scummy...

Annie, I'm going to have to try this.

I actually use beer in a slow cooker when i make ribs.

Sometimes I know how to cook. lol...

It sounds like we love our alcohol in our cooking...

Just tell her "bad backs run in the family!"

I do back exercises every day, it seems to be working, as back pain is typical in my profession. Mine only plays up at the end of a hard day.

I know when mine started and I was just 17, but we lived in a flat one floor up and to go out I would first carry the bottom part of the pram down the stairs then the top then go back for baby and my bag.. It all went well until one day I slipped.. luckily it was with the top part of the pram not the metal wheels and frame..(or the baby!)

My back was twisted really badly and I needed treatment from a chiropractor to level everything back up..
Then a few years ago I was walking my dogs and an off lead dog came charging into us causing me to slip and twist that time I was off work for 6 weeks.

Now as Ive got older its just another bit of me thats delicate lol... I have arthrosis in my feet knees and hips that makes sleeping on my side very painful but laying on my back hurts too although a worm pillow under the knees helps..

I have exercises from my phsyotherapist and they do help but this getting old lark is a PITA

My grandpa didn't really start to get signs of dementia until he was near the end of his life, so if I get it.. then maybe it will be really late in life. Or there will be treatments or cures by then ;p

It's a crappy illness.
It robs the sufferers of their personality their dignity and their personalities.
it robs the family of the person they love as you gradually day my day watch that person disappear leaving nothing but a shell behind.
My mother-in-law suffered Alzheimer she gradually got worse until she was doubly incontinent did not recognise family members and lost speech she would scream if anyone touched her as if she was in pain so they left her alone, they did no physio, her hands turned in until her nails were biting into her palms and her arms were folded up onto her chest like this chicken wings.
when she finally stopped breathing it was more of a formality than a loss because the woman that she had been died a long time before that day.

Both my husband and I have an advance directive so that at that point we no longer recognise family members and we have no chance of recovery we will be released from our suffering.

Likewise, here in the uk.

What a *&^(&^% start to the week.. OH was coughing a bit yesterday then started getting pain on his left side..
I think the antibiotics he had last month only served to suppress the pneumonia and its back..

I phoned the doctor and they apologised that they cant fit him in before 4pm today !
Ive lived here 30 years and I still cant get over how effeciently the health service here works same day appointments in the UK were even then, just an idle dream..Hopefully the hospital can do a chest xray to see exactly whats going on tomorrow.

Well the doc today is taking no chances..OH had a heart attack in 2014.. Shes sending him for an xray and a lot of blood tests to check infections but also blood clotting and possible heart failure.


Hes has to go in on wednesday.. They say the delay is due to the fact they are having to see less patients per hour due to covid regulations

Good luck, Cassie.
