Truck driver with motor neurone disease sets off on 800km lawnmower ride to Canberra

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-11/lawnmower-ride-to-canberra-with-motor-neurone-disease-petition/103563362

Such a horrible and cruel disease, yet the government drags the chain on research. 

Warren is a very courageous man with determination to see this through, I hope that he succeeds and most importantly that the weather cools down for him on his journey to Canberra. This is a very long road trip through Victoria into New South Wales and into The Australian Capital Territory. Taking between 6 hours to 7 hours 17 minutes depending on what route you take, but he is using a ride on lawnmower so it will take a lot longer due to the fact these vehicles don’t move very fast. 

He will make sure he stays hydrated and has rests along the way. I really hope that the politicians greet him on arrival and see his mission comes to fruition. This is an unselfish effort on Warrens part and knowing that death will be his only release from his suffering. My heart goes out to Warren, his family and all those unfortunate people that suffer from this terrible illness.

Aussie woman reveals endometriosis nightmare that nearly took her life

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/aussie-woman-reveals-endometriosis-nightmare-that-nearly-took-her-life/news-story/995b73d567edd3fa5c8e363e0a496afe

Here we go again, ignorant misogynistic pricks of doctors. I just wonder how they treat their wives if this is how arrogant they are with female patients. Excruciating pain like this must be horrendous and on top of that dealing with insensitive arrogance as well. My heart goes out to these women, and I thank my lucky stars that I have never had this terrible misfortune. It is patently obvious to most women that we really don't have much body autonomy and never have. 

Why do we have to justify wanting a hysterectomy? We aren't doing it for shits and giggles for heaven's sake. It is about being able to live pain free and also not to be forced into breeding against our free will. Most men are sympathetic to the suffering of their wives, mothers, sisters and women in general. So why is it that the medical industry is still in the dark ages? These are allegedly very well educated men after all. 

With all the lip service in the media and promising to do better yet nothing changes. Don’t mistake me for being a misandrist, I am definitely not, I just don’t tolerate arrogant pricks. I am blunt because I have had to deal with the same shit myself, and at times have taken my husband into the doctors surgery with me. Women seem to be needing a 'handler' when they go to see some male doctors about serious health issues; to get someone to vouch for their claims to be in pain, when clearly aware that something is wrong in their bodies. Since when did this seem acceptable? 

 Up until the 1970's in western nations a married woman could not even go on the pill unless her husband gave a doctor permission to give her the prescription. Single women were not permitted to have this contraception. That is something people my age and younger have never had the indignity of experiencing. 


On a similar vein, I have suffered constant breast pain from  fibrous, polycystic breasts most of my adult life and do you think one of these male doctors would listen to me, no bloody chance. One idiot told me that I needed to have a baby, I kid you not. I was 23 years old suffering daily pain and discomfort for three years at this point. This doctor said this was my body telling me it’s time to have a baby. Sure it is, just chain me to the kitchen sink too mate.

 I had a full time job, single and I was not interested in having a family yet. Not to mention the males in  street or in the workplace commenting on my boobs all the time, despite the sexual harassment laws in place. Can you blame me for being blunt with pricks? 

My breasts were engorged looking and the heavy weight of them along with the pain was part of my everyday life. Not one bloody doctor could explain why this was happening let alone fix the problem. Just take vitamin b6 and b12 supplements and you’ll be right. I did as they asked and it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. I returned to the doctor and it was a shrug of the shoulders and that was it, doctor after doctor. 

One sympathetic female doctor told me to take Evening Primrose oil capsules along with the vitamin b6 and b12. This did nothing to stop the pain, but my breasts went up from a C to an D and then DD and then E size, which is a side effect of taking Evening Primrose oil long term. This, I only found out after going to see a naturopath for help. I took this EPO  for about a year or two straight before I was informed about the side effects because I didn’t know about the side effects, until I met this naturopath. 

 Now I was 5 foot one and a size 10 UK/AUS clothes size, so I was not overweight. Eventually I had to have breast reduction surgery at my own expense after having two babies, aged 29. The problem still remained for years only to start to improve in my 40’s. I still had pain and discomfort but not as severe as it was when I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I had ultrasounds and mammograms throughout this time also, and I can tell you mammograms should not be used in this context because the pain was unbearable and the risk of ruptured cysts is high. An MRI is more appropriate for breast screening especially thick dense fibrous polycystic breasts like mine. 

The results of these scans could only inform the doctor that I had multiple cysts but other than that I was left to my own devices. Year after year of nothing but shrugging their shoulders. At  no time was I given the opportunity to see a specialist in regards to my condition either. I was just left hanging with no answers.

The only time that I had any pain relief was during pregnancy, but by the time the babies were born the pain was back and intensified. It is pretty obvious to most women who have health issues like endometriosis, hormonal disorders' and polycystic breast disorders that doctors don’t have any understanding about or know how to treat the conditions. Nor do they have any sympathy judging from the reactions of male doctors to this very day. I put this down to the way that they are trained and the male dominated culture within the medical profession.

Fines for breaking Covid rules could be cancelled after major NSW Supreme Court decision

 https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/call-to-scrap-29000-covid-fines-after-major-nsw-supreme-court-decision/news-story/cc5b3fd80858e4dddddc8f564e8268af

Astounding, the government has made screw up after screw up with the entire pandemic affecting thousands of people. If you are going to implement fines, get your facts and laws correct first. This shows absolute incompetence at the highest levels of government from the get go. The commissioner is not above the law either, he must obey the laws that he is supposed to abide by failing to do so shows disregard for the rules and the loss of public trust. 

This is also highlighting the amount of people who clearly don’t care about spreading infectious diseases.Two wrongs clearly don’t make a right and here we are in 2024 and we can’t eradicate the virus because of ignorant selfish people. Not just that, people have gone back to their same old filthy poor hygiene practices. Nothing was learned by this whole pandemic because people are just too selfish and ignorant.

It may have been wrong to have a global lockdown, but Australia had it all under control until morons started bitching and whining about discrimination, and the moronic government gave in. We all know what happened after that. Then BoJo in the UK with his stupid “let it rip” mentality, which caused it to snowball yet again.  BoJo,  more like Bozo the clown, didn’t even obey the rules himself like many other politicians globally whose photographs are on line and date stamped showing them at political gatherings with other world leaders and not social distancing or wearing masks. Two things are clear here, the virus is not deadly to most people, and the economy has been damaged by idiots hell bent on destroying the economy globally to force us into a dangerous digital economy. 

Regardless of the pandemic’s origin, it’s the lack of proper government regulation and legal enforcement that is to be questioned. Who’s to be blamed and held accountable for the mismanagement and incompetence? There has to be some proper accountability written into law to prevent screw ups like this in future. 

Also if it was really unnecessary to have lockdowns in the first place then what about the damage to the public’s mental health and especially the vulnerable people in society? What about those that took their own lives because of this, and the people who died (often alone and isolated) that were denied a proper funeral and for loved ones to say goodbye to their loved ones. That has a terrible legacy psychologically and this must never be forgotten or forgiven. I will never forget that 8 year old little boy in Italy who died and his parents were denied the right to say goodbye to him and hold a proper funeral for him. 

These politicians must be held publicly and personally accountable for their actions. The same with NGO’s that act like little gods, pushing governments into doing their bidding. These so called non government officials that are unelected should have no say in these situations. They are private citizens working for a corporation or organisation and they have made grave errors. 

This is the world that our grandchildren have inherited because of selfish interests and stupid people not questioning authority enough and demanding accountability. There must always be accountability and responsibility for actions taken.

Telstra offers apology to family of Victorian who died during triple zero outage

https://www.9news.com.au/national/triple-zero-outage-leads-to-chaos-in-victoria/e5c64336-082c-4bfd-8882-be337fb1ad44 

Christ, this is horrific, my heart goes out to this man’s family, this just shouldn’t happen and it shows what a third rate telecommunications company Telstra has become over many years. I was bloody lucky this morning because I called the Emergency Services on 000 at 2.29 am because my husband was in respiratory distress and in excruciating pain, from what he was originally in A and E for on Wednesday morning, (on his 60th birthday).  I was told there was a long wait, and as I was on the phone the line was crackling. I was frustrated also because of all the questions when I insisted my husband couldn’t breathe and was newly discharged from hospital, is diabetic with a heart condition too. Luckily the ambulance was here within 5 minutes and the ambo’s were fantastic.

I had to ring our family doctor as soon as the practice opened this morning at 8.00am, and I had to redial multiple times for just over an hour, just to cancel my husband’s medical appointment as their website server was down and the phone lines were constantly engaged with patients trying to contact the surgery. The receptionist was sympathetic and told me they have had technical difficulties since the day before and today. This is Telstra at their finest screw ups as usual. 

But the kicker was the  Non attendance bill emailed to my husband  in hospital today billing him for non attendance for his appointment. I kid you not. It will be fixed up though, out sourcing, what could possibly go wrong when you’re outsourcing to overseas companies with no control over what happens. 

My husband is currently in hospital for the next few days pending surgery, unfortunately no surgery is done over the weekend unless a patient is in grave danger of dying. Well hubby came very close to that I can tell you. As is reflected in many posts on this blog. There have been many close calls, over 35 years of our marriage.

Happy 60th Birthday to my dear husband, well it should be



Today is my dear husband’s 60th birthday, yet we can’t celebrate, he is currently in hospital again today. He has been unwell for a few days unable to keep any food or fluids down. Not that he is able to eat very much in recent times as it is. On top of that we learned two weeks ago he has even more health problems. He was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm in his left ventricle in his heart and diabetes. 

As I have said before, I live in permanent fight or flight mode for many years because the moment I relax something bad happens. I  am taking about a few weeks or a couple of months between the bad  luck striking. This has been the story of our marriage of 35 years, how much more can we take of this heartache? 

Something always happens without fail that just destroys any little bit of happiness for us in the blink of an eye. Today my husband was also seeing a heart specialist when he collapsed in the doctors office at the hospital, and he didn’t have any heart problems until a few weeks ago, then suddenly we find out about this aortic aneurysm.We try not to stress about it because that can aggravate the situation for my husband. 

Try avoiding stress with multiple serious illnesses and then find out that you have this on top of the other problems is a bloody big tall order. It’s like the universe is trying to destroy him and any hope for happiness. 

I don’t make plans for the future like other people because I have learned a long time ago that everything comes crashing down and we are back to the same situation again and again. So I take one day at a time and I never make plans because there is no point. 

All I wanted today, was for my husband to have a nice quiet birthday celebration at home. On his 60th birthday but again that chance has been taken away from us. We are quiet living people and tend to keep to ourselves, but even still life keeps kicking us in the guts to breaking point time and time again.

I can be thankful that he will be home later this afternoon or evening after going through some rather horrible medical intervention, but that just ruins the entire day for us. 


Update; Friday 1 March , 2.30 am  this morning I had to call an ambulance for my husband, he was in severe pain and unable to breathe. Things took a turn for the worse, he will be staying in hospital for a little bit longer. The care he is receiving is outstanding too. I pray that things get sorted out once and for all. He can’t go on like this. I have been awake since 2.15 am and it’s now 7.49 am. There is no way that I can sleep now, so it’s just get on with my day and sleep later.

‘It never stops': New drug approved to treat endometriosis after decade of pain

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/it-never-stops-new-drug-approved-to-treat-endometriosis-after-decade-of-pain/b51f0e92-6dd8-4812-800a-eadac0d55218

Gosh let’s hope the government gets this drug on the PBS asap. I just hope they find out the cause of this in my lifetime, because there are so many other medical breakthroughs and the pain that these poor women suffer from is horrible. Not just that, all the visits to doctors and to be believed takes its toll on these women.

The 'coupley' thing we should all be doing more of to boost our mental health, according to experts

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13076277/holding-hands-boosts-mental-health-experts.html

It goes without saying that the endorphins release that happy feeling when we are holding hands and bonding with someone. The freely touchy thing is not just important for humans, but all creatures. We all need physical touch and bonding. 

We have emotions for a reason, not just for the hell of it. Parent/child bonding, human to animal bonding etc. Reaching out to another being is good for our overall health and wellbeing. How much money was wasted stating the obvious for this article? Are the idiots in government so out of touch with reality that the need to do research on something as simple as this?

Is porridge good for weight loss?

 https://www.myjuniper.co.uk/articles/is-porridge-good-for-weight-loss#:~:text=Along%20with%20reducing%20your%20appetite,best%20chances%20of%20weight%20loss.

Hell yes! To start with ditch the stuff you add to porridge. It is a traditional Scottish breakfast food and it should be eaten as intended. Cooked with a pinch of salt and served like that. You can add milk for children especially to cool it down when just served you can add a dessert spoon of honey if you don’t like the taste of porridge as it is intended but nothing else. 

As a child eating porridge in winter weather and in the rush to get to school on time I occasionally put milk in mine. These days I eat it the way it was intended. It’s a lot more filling than toast and Vegemite and very quick to make. It is much healthier than commercial breakfast cereals which are full of sugar. 

I haven’t eaten regular breakfast cereals in years and refuse to eat them because they lack nutritional value unlike porridge. I always remember my paternal grandfather always started his day with a bowl of porridge, he never ate junk food and was always tall and slim. I never knew him to be ill in his life because he ate sensible foods. That there tells me that eating normal foods is the preferred way to good health. 

The optimal diet for most people at present though is not easy due to the rising costs of food, but if one is sensible a simple diet without takeaway food is going to help you lose weight and hopefully keep you healthy. Portion control is the key, because up until the past few years people have been over eating. The task now is to reduce the quantity and keep the shopping list simple. Fresh fruits and either fresh or frozen vegetables, because the nutrients are held in the vegetables when snap frozen. 

Steamed vegetables rather than boiled vegetables again holds the nutrients and prevents them leaking into the boiled water. I have not boiled vegetables in my life. My mother used to because that was common practice in the old days as people were generally unaware that boiling the vegetables meant the nutrients were leached off and into the water. Having said that, people were often told to drink the water from boiling cabbage, yuck! Bags, you go first 🤣

I am actually back to watching my weight again because I got slack, but instead of using the diet shakes, this time I am going back to basics. I did the proper calorie counting many years ago after having a baby and it was perfect. However I was young then and the metabolism slows down as we age. But I am determined to stay in this weight watching mode permanently now for health reasons. That is the most important thing that a person must factor into weight management. 

Trying to keep healthy and the fact that there are often long waits to see a doctor now is the best thing that one can do. Our doctor’s surgery now has between a two to three weeks wait for an appointment. So this is vital in making sure that the individual takes better care of their health and wellbeing.

So porridge is one of nature’s greatest benefits that I can’t be without in maintaining my health. Rolled oats are great for baking with too, whether it’s making ANZAC biscuits, muffins or making an apple crumble. Not to mention cleaning the intestines without needing laxatives. Drink plenty water too to flush the body of toxins and assist in digestion.

Top 20 healthiest fruits

 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/top-20-healthiest-fruits

For those that love their fruit, here are the health benefits of regular fresh fruit. It’s summer in Australia at present and fresh fruits are plentiful in the shops and there is nothing nicer than a cold  fruit platter on a hot day. One thing that I love is caramelised fig yogurt over slices of fruit, it makes a nice treat or desert. 



What Are the Health Benefits of Ginger Tea?

 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-ginger-tea

I love ginger and lemon tea. Occasionally I add a teaspoon of honey to it but there is nothing like ginger to settle your stomach or just to enjoy at any moment of the day. 

It’s one of the must haves in your kitchen cupboard along with peppermint tea as a quick remedy for an upset tummy, cold and flu season, nausea. I have been a herbal tea lover since I was about 19 my original tea was rosehip tea but I prefer chamomile, peppermint and ginger and lemon tea as my basic teas.

Taking time out from the daily routine with a relaxing herbal tea is a must do. To de stress try valerian tea, the smell is not pleasant but it tastes good and does the job.

Fibromyalgia Fatigue this week

 I have not had crappy fibro fatigue hit me in a few months. Over the past week it has hit me hard and today is a totally exhausting day.

I need to rest, I am not sure if I am up to doing readigs at present. I will monitor that day by day, to see when I have the energy to work. The weather plays a part in this too, we have had rain and humidity for a few months which is exhausting to most people but it's worse with fibromyalgia. 

It’s not much fun when trying to go about daily tasks with this dead weight affecting me on top of chronic pain. I get so frustrated because I have study to do but this fatigue stops me focusing and absorbing the information. 

It just becomes so frustrating and exhausting that I need down time, but the chores around the house don't stop, hell no. A house doesn't look after itself nor the laundry and ironing, sheesh. 🙄

Study reveals surprising habit that psychopaths are more likely to do

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/mental-health/study-reveals-surprising-habit-that-psychopaths-are-more-likely-to-do/news-story/bc744cf685f80f048005274bb274e9f7

The first test should be an MRI of the brain along with a psychiatrist evaluating the person and then other methods of investigation that may not be traditional medical investigations. Looking at the finger length is only a possibility, you would need a very skilled palmist to show which particular lines or marks in both hands relate to the psychological profile and health issues, not to forget the domestic life of the person. 

Then looking at the persons astrology chart which lays out the entire profile of a person. That requires the exact time of birth of the person to be able to give an accurate interpretation of the individual and even with these things nothing is 100% . Did you know that the star sign of Aries is regarded as the most likely of all star signs to be a psychopath? 

Even here it is the placement of planets in houses that make the personality traits of an individual and then the degrees and angles when formulated inform the astrologer of the persons behaviour and mind set. Again there can be things that may not show up. So you need several things put together to make a reasonable opinion but first is a proper medical assessment. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034374/

This link here discusses the use of MRI to view the formation of the subjects brain in diagnosing abnormalities such as psychopathy. There is no cure for psychopathy either, and some of these individuals can be highly intelligent and able to evade detection.

A Hidden Pattern in Children's Eyes Can Reveal if They Have Autism

This is the AI version of iridology which maps the entire body and what health conditions a person has.

A study that is centuries old, I had a pregnancy detected by iridology, I was already aware that I was pregnant at the time but it showed up during an appointment for something unrelated.

Misogynist bastards: Woman horror procedure reveals country’s national shame

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/woman-horror-procedure-reveals-countrys-national-shame/news-story/b7d3f3772075e51a5118206cf9af5d4e

There is no other way to describe this horrific abuse, other than calling them racist misogynistic bastards. It turns my stomach reading this, to  be blunt. This is a hatred of indigenous peoples by the elites, you want to know why? It is a spiritual thing and a hatred of pure blood indigenous peoples world wide that’s why. Indigenous peoples have strong connections to spirit too, so don’t take this lightly, it is a long established fact that we indigenous peoples have strong spiritual connections. That spiritual connection is literally in our blood and the soul fire is very powerful, that is why both the Catholic Church and the secret societies hate indigenous people. They want to cut our connection to pure spirit, especially women because we have the strongest spiritual and psychic connections that is why they hate us and want to destroy us.

Do deeper esoteric research and you will see the connection. It’s no skin off my nose if you don’t believe this, we spiritual indigenous peoples are fully aware of the truth. Now look up the South American women that were sterilised in the 1970’s

Here is some extra reading but it only scratches the surface. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Latinas#:~:text=Starting%20in%20the%20year%201909,younger%20women%20were%20especially%20targeted. 

In the land of the free and home of the brave in 2020. Misogynistic bastards still perpetuate their abuses against women. Do you hear the Catholic Church complaining? Err no.  Funny how the silence is deafening isn’t it! And let’s not forget about the abortion issue, that’s pure hypocrisy right there. Women in America obviously don’t have bodily autonomy and human rights in 2023! You can thank the Catholic Church and the secret societies for that misogyny. They are no better than the Taliban! 

Fear of dependency on the state, more like the elite wanting to keep money and power over the rest of us. Money that we  ordinary people toiled for; in blood sweat and tears and often to death. Yet we have to justify our right to exist constantly. Auditioning for your life, just screams out at you. The rich and powerful don’t play fair and they don’t share anything. They take and take until we bleed literally. The more ordinary people there are the elite fear us rising up against them and that was the pretext for inventing communism. The joke is on us ordinary people. 

Eugenics is a rich man’s toy as it is, and you would be surprised as to how many famous people are eugenicist dating back to early 19th century with their fake Christian values. Meanwhile the rich men whored around impregnating women at the drop of a hat and do to this very day. Human rights only applies to some people but not all of us, it always did.

Queensland mum was worried about stubborn spot on her nose. Her GP told her it was nothing. This is her warning

 https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/queensland-mum-was-worried-about-stubborn-spot-on-her-nose-her-gp-told-her-it-was-nothing-this-is-her-warning-c-12504693

Asumption is the mother of all f##k ups! A GP is perhaps not the best qualified person to make a diagnosis on skin cancer and there are many different ways skin cancers appear. There are too many screw ups like this happening in Australia. My husband was twice told his cancer was eczema by our doctor, despite me intuitively knowing it was skin cancer, but thankfully our doctor did refer my husband to a dermatologist because the medication for eczema made absolutely no difference. I had to keep nagging my husband for a year or two to get his arm checked out because I knew something was wrong. 

People should get into the habit of having a skin cancer checkup at a  cancer clinic. Stay up to speed on your skin check ups for peace of mind. It is our responsibility to maintain checkups at the recommended times. 

I am glad this young mother has had proper medical care so that she can continue to raise her family. I hope that she never has to go through this ever again. Please; book an appointment to have your skin checked, remember the damage is done usually in childhood and appears to be dormant for several years before it manifests visibly. I often see small children outdoors without sun hats and exposed skin in summer and babies in strollers without sun hats or a canopy to protect them from the sun. The younger the child the more delicate the skin and the UV rays penetrate deep into the skin. Bad habits in sun protection can be lethal and in a country like Australia one must never take risks with their skin, not to mention the importance of teaching children good skills in skin protection for life. There is nothing more unsightly than skin like leather which prematurely ages the individual.

Finally a cure for chronic cold hands? Researchers find genetic cause of Raynaud's phenomenon that blights hundreds of millions

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12623463/genetic-cause-Raynauds-phenomenon-syndrome.html

I have had Raynauds syndrome for many years. I have it in my hands and feet and the pain in my toes is absolute agony. Even in bed on a hot summer night I often have socks on to stop the pain. The fan blowing on my toes triggers the itching and burning pain which prevents me sleeping. My fingers go purple practically every day and that’s just if the temperature is a little lower than normal either indoors or outside. 

I recall being a small child around three or four years old and my fingers on my right hand especially would go purple. My parents never had that investigated by a doctor, I just had to live with it. The toes started to be painful when I moved to Canberra in 1995. But I recall winter in Scotland when my toes were sore and that was just put down to the cold weather when I was outside even though I was wearing warm socks and boots. The house was always warm and comfortable thankfully, but boy what a shock when I got to Canberra and experienced this pain. 

One particular winter in Scotland I was about 14 years old and playing on the ice with friends all afternoon. I was dressed warm but I had school shoes on that were ones that I had worn at school in Australia and not suitable for winter in Scotland. They were great for sliding on though. But because it was freezing cold and I was out having fun I didn’t worry about the cold on my toes which was very painful. That was until I decided to go home as the pain was so bad. 

But when I got indoors the pain was through the roof. My mum had me sit next to a gas heating vent and had a basin of warm water to help warm my feet. It was much worse than the pain that I felt already. I sure learned a lesson from that. I screamed with the pain and was crying because it was so painful.

I often wondered if that was what caused my Reynauds syndrome. But I already had this in my fingers from a small child so I perhaps just made it worse, I don’t know. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both my wrists for a few years now and trapped ulnar nerves which are inflamed in both my elbows and nerve damage just under the surface of my forearms. So I experience pain constantly for many years, but reading this article I noticed the low blood sugar levels. I have diabetes on both sides of my family however I am not a diabetic. 

I read through the comments for the article and I noticed the mention of vit B3 , magnesium and blood medication. For me the magnesium doesn’t help but it helps cramps in my legs. There were side effects from the medication prescribed by my specialist which I took for two or three days and had to stop. I just try to keep my toes and fingers warm. What I don’t know is if the tingling on the tip of my tongue and bottom lip are part of the Reynauds or not. I told my GP but no answer from him on that one 😳 I have been through specialists and basically there’s nothing that they can do other than surgery for the carpal tunnel and my nerve entrapment. That surgery for the elbows is not always successful so I won’t be doing that. My wrists, I don’t know, I need to think about it. I lose feeling in my hands constantly and waken up at night with numbness in both hands. 

My shoulders and neck were injured in a crash back in 2015 and I am pretty certain that the nerves below the surface of my skin and the nerve entrapment was caused by that accident as I was holding my tablet reading when the accident happened and I was thrown upwards and backwards in a second. It was such a violent accident, the force of my arms being pulled up in quick and violent manner was quite painful.

Pain killers only worked for so long and long term use leads to liver damage. So I am just trying to keep my fingers and toes warm and use deep heat ointment regularly on my arms and even my toes.

Empty Nose Syndrome: Rare condition ‘suffocating’ patients

What a terrible tragedy. I have never heard of such surgery or turbines in our nasal cavities. I do know that scraping the sinuses is not successful for people with constant blocked noses as a person with a constant blocked nose through allergies and chronic sleep apnea there is no way that I would consider nasal surgery. 

The suffering these people go through in their daily lives must be absolute hell. It may be better to explore alternatives to surgery such as Chinese medicine or homeopathy and irrigation treatments for clearing the sinuses.

Please read this article about the pros and cons of nasal irrigation if you are considering buying a kit. I use it occasionally myself. I still have the congestion though and use allergy medicine every day. Surgery is not going to cure the problem and I don’t recommend it at all. 

You can use fenugreek, horseradish and garlic tablets to help with the symptoms but there is no permanent solution to the problem but a change of diet may help you, such as avoiding dairy products.

9 out of 10 pets love us!

 


This is a great mood lifter at our wonderful vet’s office. Parkway veterinary clinic is the best vet clinic ever. The staff are awesome and super friendly. They love their work and their patients with a deep passion. They also have a great sense of humour to boot as can be seen all around the practice with funny and quirky pictures and objects on display. 

This board is the ‘watch this space’ when you visit the vet,  with funny quotes and a welcoming vibe. It’s 

a place where happy fur parents stop to chat and admire each other’s precious fur babies. After all who isn’t proud of their fur babies? They are the light of our lives just as much as our human children.

Stephanie Aston: Woman dies aged 33 after doctors dismissed her horror EDS symptoms and accused her of faking it

This poor young woman suffering like this and dismissed by yet another arrogant doctor. How disrespectful and disempowering to be treated like this. I hope that some good can come out of this situation and protect others in similar circumstances. The heartache that this woman and her family have had to endure is unacceptable and something needs to be done to hold the medical system accountable.
