Barbara Kay: Memo to my children - Full Comment

What I mean by DIY healthcare is when you are sick but you don't bother contacting a doctor. Either because you can't afford one, you don't think they will be much use, or simply don't like the idea of waiting four hours in an A and E. So you simply try to make do without one. Just...

Bereaved mother's campaign against medical guidelines that allow premature babies to die - Telegraph

Human Trial of Embryonic Stem Cell Research Stopped Due to Animal Problems I just want to add that I don't agree with all this when they say to test on larger animals. The failure in small animals should be warning enough. However it does say that there are problems ahead with the use of...

Patient 'died of starvation in NHS hospital' - Telegraph

I went for another audiology apointment to ask about getting vibrating hearing device. I think I'm getting a little closer as they said they would look into it and even hooked up a hearing aid with a vibrating pad although the vibration isn't quite so strong as my tactaid that was...

How well does your CI actually work? Can you hear on the phone? or in noisy environments or do you just get environmental noises which gives you extra help with lip reading? (I know this is the 2nd time I posted this but I meant to have a poll with it and for some reason that didn't happen. Why...

For those that like their CI's, how well do they work? Hope you don't mind doing this poll.

How does the setting work for CI's so they can be used with FM and loop systems. I'm interested in this for the novel I'm writing. I assumed they would have something similar to a 'T' system like with my old analogue hearing aid but someone who was looking at one of my chapters pointed out that...

There has been general interest in how us deafblind manage things so I thought I would share this article with you all:

I expect people already know my views about Euthanasia for humans. They haven't changed. Sadly I've had to Euthanise my rodent Mia. She has been suffering from a really big lump for a while now. Despite this she was eating and showing signs normal rodent behavior. Now her lump has...

On another thread some people have confessed wanting to choosing non disabled people rather then disabled. I'm the complete opposite of that. Most of the people who I have found easier to relate to have been disabled in some way. I know a lot of disabled people aspire to normality but I...

A lot of people have shared their bad experiences of being isolated in mainstream schooling. I am wondering if anyone could share their good experiences now. Of being in signing deaf school and what that is like?

I've just been looking online again about information about CI's. It seems you can't do sky diving, scuba diving or contact sports. Although some sources say you can do scuba diving. So that's rather a contradition. One of my characters with CI does parachute jumping. (although she has...

Hope people don't mind answering my question. What situation would cause a CI to need removing/replacing? What would be the most likely cause of that? How often does it happen?

Hi, This is the title of the book I am writing. It is a fantasy novel about a group of deafblind characters and how they manage. It is set in two countries. Darthrilia: which is run by dragons who think the root of mankinds problems are that he is secretly devistated by the lack of flight. It...
