A lot has happened
Hi all, It's been a crazy ride the last well I'd say 6 months. Back in Feb I went to A & E with pain on my right side where my ribs were. After a lot of waiting and tests, they suspected a blot clot Thankfully it was not, it was put down to a viral infection. I had previously had a chest infection in

Remedies for low stomach acid
Hello.This is a follow up on a previous question. I did the baking soda test this morning to see if I had low stomach acid. I didn't belch at all so I guess that could suggest that I'm low !! I thought I would try some Betaine HCI with pepsin as that is quite often recommended. I asked my naturopath

Recently in general all going ok. Was put on mtx about 10-12 weeks ago, didn’t have any obvious adverse effects other than a bit of hair loss, but doing fortnightly bloods as recommended. At this time was tapering slowly around 12.5 & 11mg CRP was gradually decreasing and test done beginning of July

numb painful thigh
This is a new thing for me… I’ve had fibromyalgia for years but started with a pain the outside of my right thigh - originally smaller than my palm (it’s now much larger) I’ve had a cortisone injection which did nothing. I’ve tried naproxen. Today the pain is starting in the other leg. It’s affecting

hey guys. So recently I’ve been diagnosed with treatment resistant depression. Does anyone else struggle with this? Any words of encouragement? Also if you have this have you had any success with alternative medicines such as magnet therapy, ketamine treatments or electro therapy? Any advice or help

Amitriptyline and IBS
Just looking for some advice. My consultant has asked for me to go back on Amitriptyline. Last time I lasted less than a week. I couldn’t handle the side effects. This time thou he’s explained things a lot more thorough. And also said he thinks in 3 to 6 months he thinks I’ll have my IBS under control

Digestive enzyme supplement suggestions
Can anyone recommend a good effective brand. All suggestions welcome. In the past I've used the Solgar Brand but I haven't noticed much difference. Likewise not much difference using Betaine HCI on its own either.

Paper on the design of B12 deficiency treatment protocols
This might be one of the most fascinating papers I've read on B12 deficiency and treatment, with several sections exploring how symptoms relate back to the particular biochemistry processes that go wrong in deficiency. The paper was produced in 2021 for the B12 Institute, Netherlands, a specialist B12

More drugs!
Some of you will know we moved from Cornwall to the Bristol area which obviously meant registering with a new doctors surgery. I’ve been about three times and you can never see the same doctor even though they say make an appointment to see me after your blood test. Anyway the last time I went was partly

Hi. I've just rejoined after a few years & would love to be part of the group again. I am struggling as we all are with this terrible Fibro. Yesterday, after yet another chat with my GP, he prescribed Pregablin. 50mgx 3 a day. I am already taking Co Codamol & Amitriptyline. I have read many negatives

iron test results help please
I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

Betaine HCl gave me more energy, but crazy IBS
I have made huge improvement on my thyroid and vitamin levels and still feeling fatigued all the time. Because I have acid reflux only at night, and so many of my vitamin levels are low despite a balanced diet, I figured I may have low stomach acid and would try Betaine. I also had noticed that my reflux
