@Alvin @Mij For the body to make use of vitamin B12 it is necessary to have good levels of folate too. Folic acid is not the best choice for improving folate levels. See this link for details : The little known (but crucial) difference between folate and folic acid | Chris Kresser

Could be low vitamin B12. See this link for more symptoms : https://www.b12deficiency.info/signs-and-symptoms/ @Alvin Note that one of the symptoms mentioned is Impaired fine motor coordination

Thanks. I think I was taking well within the upper safe intake. But when I get spooked by something, logic tends to fly out the window.

@oldtimer Thanks for the description of how to stretch pectoral muscles. It sounds doable so I'll give it a try. :) @Alvin Thanks for the vitamin suggestions. I already supplement with vitamin K2, but I've let my vitamin D supplementation lapse. I do intend to re-start it. I haven't...

Thanks, Trish. I don't know why I didn't think about looking for myself - a temporary blank I think. Thanks, Wonko. I should have thought of MRI machines - I've had a few MRIs in my time. And I've also got a nephew who tests and services MRI machines in far flung places around the world. He...

Another question on the same topic... These posture support things often come with magnets stitched in. According to this page : https://thenaturalposture.com/collections/back-brace/products/adjustable-magnet-posture-corrector the magnets are supposed to be attracted to the iron in blood. It...

Thanks, @andypants . Unfortunately I have an old dumb phone, not a smart phone, so I can't run apps. I'll have to stick with non-electronic ways and means of improving things.

I have very poor posture. My back is already quite bowed. It is making me more breathless which has a knock-on effect on just about every facet of my life. My mother had the same problem. In her case her back almost completely collapsed in the months before her death. She had osteoporosis very...

This sounds like a way of dehumanising the patients and the courts and removing the patients from the whole process of appeals so that the court is not swayed by real sick and suffering people.

I have had some improvement with my cognitive difficulties from changing my diet quite radically. I used to eat a high carb diet, and had ended up with pre-diabetes. Last year I changed to eating a much lower carb diet with far more fat. I only eat the kinds of fats and oils that would have been...

I found one of the questions on that quiz totally meaningless for me. This one : I have trouble following conversations because I am distracted or because I am trying to remember what I wanted to say. The choice of answers was 1) Often or 2) Not often. The truthful answer for me would have...

I got 53%. I can't actually work out if that is a good score or a bad score or just average. And if it is a good sign, I'm not sure what it is a good sign of!

Perhaps you have "Executive Dysfunction Disorder"? https://www.additudemag.com/what-is-executive-function-disorder/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4084861/ I have developed this over the last 10 years or so although nobody ever mentioned my executive functioning until very...

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.729.2487&rep=rep1&type=pdf Do a search for "CFS" in the above link, which appears to be a PDF of a book published in 2003. Wessely is mentioned in the list of contributors (pages 11 - 12), and so is Sharpe. So is Mansel Aylward. I'm sure...

@Cinders66 Did you notice the title of the photograph (above the picture) in Brian's article? That title has obviously been there a long time, I don't think it was something Brian added.

The title of the photograph in the article was "Malingering and Illness Deception Meeting". It wasn't Brian's choice to use the word "Malingering", it was the choice of word of the people who set up the conference.

Thanks. :D

I watched the video but I didn't get what it was supposed to be portraying. Explanations in words of one syllable, please.

I'm surprised at the limited reaction to post #9 from @strategist . [ https://www.s4me.info/threads/the-bigger-picture.8683/#post-153339 ] I'm absolutely gobsmacked and furious about it and would have expected lots of angry responses within minutes!

@DokaGirl In years gone by, before there was a treatment for thyroid disease, sufferers usually ended up in asylums. :(
