Could I get some input on these blood lines/streaks in my stool?
A few months ago I started noticing little mucus boogers on the outside of my stool as well as bright red drops of blood on my tissue after wiping constantly after either having diarrhea or the day after eating super spicy food. My doctor believed that it is internal hemorrhoids because of how it occurs

Article: Why autoimmune disease is more common in women
I thought people might be interested in this article from Nature about why autoimmune diseases are more common in women: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00267-6 "A new explanation for the discrepancy has emerged: a molecular coating typically found on half of a woman’s X chromosomes — but

Buzzing… how do you get used to it? Or rather ignore it!
Hi I’ve had tinnitus for about 5 years. It started with the hissing sound. After trying sound therapy treatment, I became aware of a tune in one ear. It gradually faded and I was told I had wax in that ear. I think wax helped block my sound as I had it removed and 8 months on it is just starting to

Some new science on why women are more prone to autoimmune disease
This is an interesting read that suggests the preponderance of systemic autoimmune conditions in women is linked to incomplete X chromosome inactivation. Sadly, it doesnt have any immediate practical implications for us lot, but may be a pointer for the future. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586

I am 70 years of age & pretty much alone
I have had one sided thyroid problem for 25yrs & tests say its working fine but I gained 21 pounds over 3 weeks, all the usual underactive thyroid symptoms but no meds. All that's on offer is surgery, I have been told for many years you have abnormal cells, not cancerous but could turn that way. I have

Bit old fashioned...
I discovered that a castor oil pack really helps with knee pain. It's horrible sticky oil, but it works topically (for me at least). I have bad memories of this stuff from my childhood. Any hint of sickness and out came the bottle. I would not recommend injesting it! 🤮 it's better than the deep heat

Pain won't stop
Hi all, it's been assumed that I'm struggling with IBS for around 6 weeks. I've tried buscopan forte with no ease. Last Friday I started Mebeverine hydrochloride 3 times a day, it's not helping! For 6 weeks I have pretty much been stuck in the fetal position with servere cramping pain that I'm comparing

clear cell update
I just finished my second round of immunotherapy, which is Opdiva and Yervoy . After one month my CA, 125 dropped from 133 to 53. I’m truly astounded and hope it keeps working on my clear cell tumor. If you’re OVCA is clear cell, you should inquire to your oncologist about this.

Tinnitus and visual disturbances?
