I've read lately that this is actually a myth and that the bladder has its own microbiome. Found it! https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2018-06-03/bladder-microbiome-study-could-be-game-changer-for-uti-treatment/9822020

So easy @shak8 . After the severe bushfires in Aus recently, and before the coronavirus, I went tissue-free. That felt so virtuous I bought a pile of really cheap face washers from KMart, cut them in quarters, stitched the edges and now have a box of "wee wipes". They get swished around in a...

There's a previous thread about Dalal. I found him a breath of fresh air. https://www.s4me.info/threads/book-review-cbt-the-cognitive-behavioural-tsunami.8252/#post-145695. Post #3 has a very good video, also entitled Statistical Spin, Linguistic Obfuscation

Off the topic of nano particles still: I agree that anything involving chemicals is not a great idea at all. My first thought was a memory of my mother, red-faced, hot and sweaty, and very grumpy, stirring the boiling copper in our outside laundry. The sheets and towels were boiled to kill...

Well that does it! All I needed was a good enough reason to use my lovely teapot. A few weeks ago, in a fit of minimalizing, I was about to throw out dozens of beautiful, 80 to 150 year old, hand made, hand-embroidered and lacey handkerchiefs handed down from my great grandmother through the...

In online chats etc. about gabapentin and pregabalin there are many posts about generics not working. A lot of these complaints are by Americans whose doctors prescribe the generic and often won't believe it's not effective.

This is the reply: As the programme is on Summer with fill in presenters and producers who can be in any part of the country, podcasts are not uploaded during this time. The only audio available is the full programme which expires after 7days (so each Sunday, the latest programme is uploaded...

Something's wrong. I wrote her a message.......

As with everything else, my reaction to caffeine is topsy turvy. Yesterday I was in pain everywhere, my anxiety was through the roof and I was so brainfogged I couldn't have trusted myself to reliably add two and two. By late afternoon I couldn't take any more and made myself some coffee...

:rofl::scream::rofl: That's a keeper!

This conviction is a travesty. I hope he never doubts he did the right thing. It angers me so much that there are so few places we are allowed the right to end our lives the way we choose at a time of our choosing, and without needing to hide it and do it without having friends and family...

It makes sense to me that the ability to put one's palms flat on the floor comes from the hips. I have always been able to do it easily. After a hip replacement less than a year ago and the other one probably not too far off, and quite advanced spinal degeneration, that hasn't changed. I was...

This is the link to the relevant section. https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/nightlife/living-with-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/11472388 An excellent 49 minutes. They covered just about everything and I found nothing to quibble about at all. The end of the program described the recent Biobank...

I just watched the interview with Conrad and am appalled at the litany of poor medical treatment. What a tragedy. I've seen the shocking but fortunately temporary effects of antidepressants on two close family members, however I wasn't aware that they could cause permanent brain damage. A few...

Not so many outlets actually: the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age are both published by the same publisher. The SMH has local articles more pertinent to NSW and The Age to Victoria. Otherwise they are the same. The article is also hidden away in the Brisbane Times and WAtoday, the other two...

@Snow Leopard - Could you explain what underlying risk factors there might be to explain these outcomes. Thanks:)

@Hell..hath..no..fury... That's frightening. I can fully understand what you experienced. I hate to think what might have happened if I had continued with it. My GP assured me pregabalin was very safe and effective and when I said I had read about awful side effects, she didn't know what I was...

@ScottTriGuy, I've just listened to "The Gift of Cancer". I thought it might be too long but I couldn't stop listening. Kelly Anne spoke so well and with amazing acceptance. She's a great subject and an inspiration. I thought letting her speak almost without interruption worked well because...

I'll jump in here and echo some of your experiences for the record. My idiopathic slow transit colon (diagnosed much later) developed from about age 16 (I'm now 69) and has worsened gradually and evenly over time. It was accompanied by increasing brain fog type symptoms and a growing...
