Well my wife has CKD, heart failure which lead to three heart attacks, essential tremor etc. They said she would die twenty years ago but close monitoring, right medical equipment she is still by my side at 70 years old. Low blood pressure the norm, good days and bad days, then she took over care for her granddaughter. Now for the last 7 years she has to return being a mother yet again, still with those bad days and pain but she soldiers on, she is needed!

Life after a joint replacement: Share your experiences and advice!

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

Hi everyone, how are you doing?
Lupus can lead to serious complications like kidney problems, heart issues, or nervous system involvement. That’s why regular monitoring and staying on top of treatments is so important, even when you’re feeling okay.
