Having a rough time today, feelings of worthlessness
I'm having a rough time today, and spiraling into those worthless feelings, even though I know that's not logical. I got called to the carpet by a new boss... I started a new job in July, that is pulling me in many directions, to say the least. Without getting into too much detail, I took on a task

How to get over weight gain?
Hi all. I’ve never had a positive body image and I’ve been struggling with an eating disorder since 2018. For personal reasons and decided to start recovery in April 2022 and stop all the food restrictions. The first few months I ate enormous amounts of food and, obviously, it resulted in a weight

sensitive to noises
I have PTSD so and I’m not sure if this has anything to do with it but there are certain times when I haven’t slept a lot or I’m not feeling good, I tend to get very jumpy and sensitive to loud sounds. It seems the slightest loud sound makes me jump out of my own skin. At times like this I wear my ear

lorazepam effect in elderly
my father (89) has just been prescribed Lorazepam- he has dementia and has nightmares at night and poor sleep. The lorazepam seems to help him sleep but he’s in a terrible state during the day, very disoriented and depressed- he’s been on it 4 days and I’m worried - my question is should he keep taking

I've decided to go with eight donor frozen oocytes and fertilise with fresh semen next week. Has anyone gone down this route?
The donor produced and froze 18 oocytes three weeks ago. So I'm hoping that means it's a lot stronger. Please do Share your stories especially if you are using the same method. I'm currently on progynova to prepare the lining of the womb and would appreciate any good tips or suggestions

Advice on medication
Hi Everyone, I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly. Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on. I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me

Injured and feeling guilty blowing vaca. time
Hi - so I ended up dislocating my hip (artificial) at the start of vaca. week. I had it reduced and am now in a leg brace on 24/7 hip dislocation precautions, i.e. no bending at the waist, can't bring my hip higher than my knee, etc. I feel so guilty that we can't really go anywhere, e.g., beach, since

Liothyronine and cellulite
Hi, just curious to know whether anyone else has experienced cellulite after taking T3 and if so have they found anything that helps reduce its appearance. Since being on T3 for a year I’ve developed significant cellulite on my legs and also weight gain - rather odd as it is supposed to increase cell

Waters broken - 33 + 4 weeks
I’m 33+4 weeks pregnant and my waters broke today at 2am. I am feeling lots of pressure down below and lots of niggly pains - some contractions too but not really that frequent.
