Hi
We have survived 2 autumn storms without harm and flooding in our part of Somerset.
The only drug limits given in any form are that there are no Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug painkillers until you are on dialysis. Even where you are these are very last resort painkillers.
Another group of drugs they dont like using in ANY quantity unless you are in a life threatening state is Steroids. This is because all steroids rot your bones.
My mother had yo have them on a daily basis however as she had PKD and PLD but had both kidneys removed. During this process her adrenal glands were removed as they were buried amongst her kidney cysts as the kidneys had grown around them. This causes Addison's Disease as you lack cortisol which directly controls your heart. JFK had Addison's but not because of this cause.
Another time when steroids will be used is if you are in dire straits in an attack of Covid. My hospital tried giving steroids on a group of patients as a last ditch attempt to save them. Some recovered in a few days whilst others avoided needed life support and then gradually improved. They then spread reports around the world. I myself are writing this email because I was given steroids as part of my covid fight and as a direct result beat a 5% chance of survival. It has added to my bone damage now in every bone but Im alive. In continuous agony pain but alive. Theyve put my pain meds up but even so its insufficient.
I am now in the age group for a shingles jab because of my fragile health. Despite having many preventative jabs and other drugs and many qualifying conditions my General Practitioner whom I havent been able to get an appointment with for at least 4 years has decided for some unknown reason that I do not qualify so I have a fight on my hands to get one even though my consultant and everyone else agrees I qualify
