Alpro Almond Milk..... why do they do this? Any chemists have words of advice?
I stopped having cow's milk sometime ago and have been very happy using Alpro Almond milk instead. It contains Vitamins D2, E, B2 and B12 and calcium as shown in the photo. I noticed today that the packaging had changed and thought to myself "I wonder if anything else has?" So I checked. Yes indeed

Looming Endo Appointment
I had RAI in 1998 and been on Levo since 1999. Last time I saw an endocrinologist was in 99. Been on 200 initially, reduced to 175, then 150 which made me feel absolutely awful, so increased to 162.5 and feel absolutely fine. Doc stated I was overactive on this, suggested m that I reduce to 125 and we

is iodine in almond milk a problem
I’m sorry if I’m making too many posts here. I’m happy to be redirected if better. I just noticed that my almond milk says it contains iodine. Does this mean I should avoid it? I’m just trying to have a life detox of all things bad for thyroid.

I've been to see Prof Walker who has prescribed me Clonazepam, if that doesn't work he wants me to try Targinact (Oxy) or Perampanel. I'd love to hear back from y'all with your experiences with these medications (positive or negative). [u]

struggling with nerve pain after amputation and burn
Hi, I am new to this community and hope I can unload a little bit because I am struggling with nerve pain. I burnt my foot by spilling boiling water over it over 3 years ago, the burn was healing very slowly, I kept getting infections, cellulitis, and swelling. It got to the point that they had to amputate

Morphine & Oramorph.
Hi all, My dad is now bedridden with CBD. He appears to be in constant pain. Although he can't verbalise. Codeine is no longer keeping him comfortable. Today the GP has prescribed morphine twice daily and Oramorph in between. Has this proven to be an affective pain relief for others please. He already
