    Medically unexplained or not? Be aware of a somatic cause of Medically Unexplained Symptoms, 2022, Hilderink and van Vugt

    From @Grigor 's link in post #22 the symptoms described for patient B sound similar to the ones I had before I was operated on for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) with an ETV.

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    I haven't posted any vaccination experiences before. I was late in taking up vaccination.

    From the article : I wonder if this will stop doctors and endocrinologists from telling patients that 1) T3 is just like heroin or cocaine or speed. And the only reason so many women want to be allowed to have T3 is because 2) it's addictive and 3) it helps them get through their housework...
