      Just checking in to say hello! I had my (almost) 6 week post-op checkup with my gyn-onc yeserday, and he cleared me to go back to work, and said he'd see me in 3 months. :) Have you scheduled another driving test? I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts all the way from the States so that you take the test and pass it easily!

    • Open Arrhythmias

      Have recently over past two years had heart palpitations, doctors wired me up over a 24 hr test and confirmed this. They put me on Citalepram but it hasn't helped, I came off it after 6 months but I still get these rapid heart beats, is it normal? and any advice welcome.

    • Open Dementia

      Husband is in 'early stages of alzheimers, taking Aricept. He is very forgetful, sometimes asking same thing several times within minutes. He has also started taking things he doesn't need, using sleight of hand to slip into his pockets. He denies this, and says he pays for these things but I know he hasn't the cash to do this.Keyrings are a special thing he takes. He usually gives them away or passes them on to someone he thinks would use one.Is it normal to get kleptomania with this desease?
