Hi folks, during a trip earlier in the year, my wife got diarrhoea (the runs, may have the spelling wrong). We were in a very small town council caravan park (no after hours staff on site) and everything was closed at night except for a servo, luckily a lovely young UK backpacker working there had s...

Used to feel bad for people with this problem but it will never happen to me right? Now it's uncomfortable to sit, stand and walk. Also the indignity of having to wear a sanitary pad for 2 weeks but the worst of it was the Doc put his finger where the sun don't shine. Don't like this getting old caper someti...

Hi all, I have been lurking but not posted for a while. I am currently in Day 8 out of an Aortic valve and root replacement.

I've had a cough for 10 weeks now, I've heard it called the 3 month cough, but I know of at least one poor lady who has had it 5 months. You can catch it from grandchildren, and Dr's treatment with antibiotics makes no difference. Have met several who say they have coughed for 5 or 6 weeks, but so far hav...

Earlier today, Mr D started complaining about lower back pain (excrutiating), so this evening, we went into the afterhours GP at Joondalup Hospital, who diagnosed kidney infection or stones and prescribed Cephalexin. He took the first one at the pharmacy before we returned to Yanchep. By the t...

I take after my father as his teeth break all the time, and they look horrible, all jaggered and sharp.

I saw a US medical show today that said there was a big rise in STD's in Seniors, particularly menopausal women. Apparently the lack of fear of becoming pregnant is making some senior women take more risks, but not taking precautions for STD's. Usually what happens in the US is a mirror of what is happen...
