How to get diagnosis
Hiya I’ve been struggling for almost 10 years with severe IBS symptoms, severe heavy painful periods, pain and bleeding mid-cycle, severe excruciating pain when exercising, but the past year it has got worse to the point I’m struggling to stand up. I’ve visited the GP over 7 times on the same topic,

Low libido
I need some advice. I’ve been on the combined pill for a long time now. It’s really starting to bother me that I have next to no sex drive! It’s been like this since I’ve been on the pill. Does anyone know any ways to boost my libido or other methods of birth control that don’t actually affect your sex

Vomiting on pill
Hi! I took my pill at normal time today and it’s the end of my 7 day period. I took the pill at 8:10am and then vomited at 11am-ish. I checked the NHS website and it said to take another pill so I took one between 12-1. I then threw up again between 5-6. This is because I am hungover btw. Am I still

Pfizer pill interaction
I read where the new covid pill (Pfizer) interacts with ibrutinib; I wonder how many days we must be off ibrutinib before we can take the pill, should we need it?

It's a Mystery! Now Solved - thank you all.
Well I filled up my days of the week pill box this morning, but for the life of me can't find it now! Have searched absolutely everywhere, even in the fridge and every cupboard. Any psychics on the forum? Yes that was psychics, not psychiatrists. Though I think I may need the latter if I don't find the
