I don't really need it, but just in case I need a reminder of why I don't see doctors any more for anything invisible I'm going to bookmark the above quoted reply.

Perhaps you should be tested for Pernicious Anaemia (PA)? Apart from having read that PA testing is unreliable I don't know much about it.

Have you tried B vitamins in different formats? For example : Methylfolate instead of folic acid Methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, or adenosylcobalamin Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate instead of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride etc...

Off-topic, but I use metric measurements all of the time with one exception - body temperature. I grew up always using Fahrenheit for body temperature and can't really use anything else. I always use Celsius for the weather.

A low fat diet is possibly causing your gall bladder problems in the first place. The gall bladder needs to be used or it can block up. And if the body rarely needs to digest fat it can cause problems. Another comment, not related to the gallbladder, is that there are three macronutrients in...

One thing I struggled with when I was younger was the parental belief that if there was nothing obvious to see, and the doctor hadn't found anything wrong, then there wasn't anything wrong to find, and the obvious explanation for my problems must be laziness. (My parents were obsessed with what...

I thought this short might be of interest in relation to so-called "functional" seizures : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sfV9vt01IBE

I've read experiences of some people buying "cooling vests" and they work well for some people. There are a few available on Amazon. Another thing that sounds good is cooling blankets for dogs. They can be used to help humans too if put into a bed for sleeping on. I must admit I've never...

I've had internal tremors. I discovered that they were related to my cortisol level. My cortisol is high, but I have seen other people with low cortisol saying that it gives them tremors too. Edit : I've just realised I've given the same information in two different replies to this thread. My...

The article is written in such a way that the authors would have readers believe medical gaslighting is rather new. But it has been around for a very, very long time.

I managed to download the full article from this link : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/389478165_Exploring_Medical_Gaslighting_Efforts_to_Enhance_Communication_and_Trust_in_Healthcare

What logic made the researchers think that they could find another use for statins amongst the hordes of Long Covid sufferers?

Here's a somewhat shorter link that takes you to the same link :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394206792926

Thank you.

I've never been good at searching the internet archive. I tried to find CBTWatch but only found two pages that I happened to have the complete web address for because I'd bookmarked them. If anyone could find the whole website in the archive it would be helpful.

That sounds like a symptom of rhabdomyolysis. I wonder if the kidneys always recover completely after you get this symptom.

Why bother looking into socio-demographic characteristics? It reeks of wanting to blame one particular class of people for their own health problems. And the class to be blamed for their own problems is usually the poor and working class. And what are they going to do if it turns out that the...
