I had bowel problems recently, lasting about 8 months, and asked the GP if I could have an colonoscopy under anaesthetic. The answer was no. I said that I would look into having it done privately, and was again told that I would not be offered an anaesthetic. Luckily I found the cause of my...

Yesterday's Inside Health was on Long COVID: Released On: 06 Feb 2024 Available for over a year BBC health journalist Laura Foster can’t get the first days of the pandemic out of her head; the stunned silence of the newsroom as the first lockdown was announced, the chaos and noise at the...

The trouble for me is that it is the muscles at the backs of my legs that are most affected, so the best option for me is to kneel on the stool that is near the cooker, for example, when cooking. I also often suffer brain fog when standing, so shopping would be much easier sitting down.

I had two main problems with the questionnaire: There was no option to say that one had stopped taking a drug or supplement quickly because it had adverse effects (sometimes serious, resulting in hospital admission). There was no option to say that depression was no longer a problem. I...

A lot of non-human animal experiments, which tell us little or nothing about humans. I wonder if he's just seeking funding for further research? "Santamaria suggests that many past failures stem from a poor understanding of the underlying mechanisms. “I think they fail because they’re going to...

I was sacked by Post Office International Telephones in 1978 due to my sick absence (a result of drug addiction which was in turn a result of trauma induced by a relationship break-up). This was despite having such a good record in the past that I was on a line-testing panel in Wales, and was...

"No intervention was delivered in the control group." Rather poor, I think. They could at least have provided something similar.

SFN is apparently Small Fiber Neuropathy (from downloaded PDF of the study).

I tried Co-Q10 in or before 2014 and couldn't tolerate it. I said on Phoenix Rising: "I couldn't tolerate Co-Q10 even at 100 mg/day. My main adverse effects were dizziness, hunger and difficulty controlling bowels. Erica Verrillo's treatment guide says: Some patients report that CoQ10, while...

Unfortunately the number of people studying psychology has increased dramatically: "Psychology is one of the most popular subjects to study at degree level: over 24,000 students were accepted onto UK undergraduate courses alone in 2019, accounting for one in 20 students1." (I presume they are...

I often feel relatively well for an hour or two in the morning, then gradually worse until about 1500, when I improve again. I seem to feel grotty after meals. Some days, usually after a few restful days, I feel relatively well all day.

I was wondering what RIP stood for, so clicked on the first link - it's "retrotransposon insertion polymorphism".

I also noticed that a contributor was Miranda Lee Dafoe - not sure of her relationship with Janet or Whitney.

I have a plastic waste bin with 'post' written on it (by myself - it has to be rewritten every so often!). It's like this one: I have placed rocks in the bottom for when it's very windy. Bigger parcels are left in my porch, which I didn't have for years until I could afford to have it rebuilt.
