🌙 Struggling with nerve pain that worsens at night?
This could be radiculopathy — when a spinal nerve is compressed, causing pain, tingling, or weakness that may travel down the arm or leg.

👉 Why it feels worse at night: Lying down changes spine pressure, which can increase nerve compression.

✅ Try these simple sleep adjustments:
• Pillow between knees (side sleeping)
• Pillow under knees (back sleeping)
• Good neck support

💡 Small changes = less pain, better rest.

This is a real representation of how blood vessels are spread throughout your body, forming a vast network that delivers oxygen and nutrients to every organ.
💡 When you move, exercise, and stay active, you keep this network healthy, preventing stiffness, clots, and circulation problems.

I was a busy mum, constantly on the go, juggling life with three kids, two of whom have special needs. I was used to stress, hospital visits, and never really putting myself first. So, when I suddenly lost feeling down the right side of my body one morning during one of my son’s hospital stays, I had no idea it was something as serious as a stroke.

At first, doctors believed I’d had a TIA. A CT scan showed a tear in one of the blood vessels supplying blood to my brain, but I was sent home the next day, even though I could hardly walk and was struggling to find the right words.

When things got worse, I was rushed back to hospital. An MRI confirmed it had been a stroke. I spent a few more days in hospital and was sent home again, this time with no referral to rehab, no plan, and no idea what came next.

I didn’t know it then, but this was just the beginning of the hardest chapter of my life.

Trying to care for my children, especially with my mobility and communication affected, was terrifying. I kept asking myself:

“Will I be able to walk properly again? Drive? Be the mum I used to be?”

I was so scared of having another stroke. And I felt incredibly alone.

I didn’t know anyone my age who’d had a stroke. I’d never even heard of another young mum going through something like this. Dealing with stroke and motherhood at the same time was isolating, confusing, and overwhelming.

Eventually, I started rehab, months after my stroke, and it was a turning point. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy helped me get off crutches after five months, and I slowly started regaining function in my right side. I joined a neuro-fatigue management group, which helped enormously. But I kept wondering: Why did it take so long to find these supports?

Looking back, if I had known about the Stroke Foundation and their incredible resources, things would have been so different. Just having someone to call, or a place to find reliable information early on, would have changed everything.

That’s why I’m sharing my story.

If you’re navigating life after stroke, whether it’s you or someone you love, please don’t wait to reach out for help. The Stroke Foundation is here, and their support services are life changing. You can call StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 to speak with health professionals who truly understand stroke and recovery.

No one should be left to figure this out on their own.

I know I’m not the only one who’s left hospital without a rehab plan. I want everyone to receive the care and support they need right when they need it.

You can help me make that possible by donating to the Stroke Foundation’s current appeal: https://strokefoundation.org.au/how-you-can-help/ways-to-donate/our-current-appeals

Stroke is a huge thing to go through, physically, mentally, and emotionally. But recovery is possible. Support is available. And most importantly - you are not alone. - Rachael

Always be thankful to God for your good health.

Do you know that during dialysis, blood is removed from the body through the red tube, passed through the dialysis machine, and then reintroduced into the body through the blue tube.

This process is repeated for four hours while the patient remains immobile in bed.

The procedure is carried out three times a week, which results in twelve times a month, and each time it takes four hours, which results in a total of forty-eight hours a month.

For those not affected, this process of flushing your kidneys occurs automatically every day with zero effort or discomfort.

Always be grateful for what you have❤️

Early Signs of Cancer You Shouldn’t Ignore

Cancer often starts quietly, with symptoms that are easy to dismiss. But catching it early can make all the difference in treatment and recovery.

Here are five early warning signs of cancer you should never ignore:

1. Unexplained Weight Loss
If you’re losing weight without trying, especially more than 5kg in a month, then it’s worth investigating. This could be an early sign of cancers like stomach, lung, or pancreatic cancer.

2. Persistent Fatigue
Feeling constantly tired even after resting could indicate certain cancers, like leukemia or colon cancer. Fatigue caused by cancer often comes with no obvious reason.

3. Unusual Lumps or Swelling
Any lump or swelling that doesn’t go away, especially in areas like the breast, armpit, or neck, needs immediate attention.

4. Changes in Skin or Moles
A mole that changes in size, shape, or color, or skin that develops unusual spots, could be a sign of skin cancer. Look out for wounds that don’t heal.

5. Persistent Cough or Hoarseness
A cough that doesn’t go away or hoarseness of voice lasting more than three weeks could signal lung, throat, or thyroid cancer.

What Should You Do?
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t panic, but don’t ignore them either. Visit a doctor for evaluation and necessary tests. Early detection saves lives, so pay attention to your body - it’s always talking to you
