How to move forward from here…
Hi everyone. I’m doing well and I hope you are not doing so bad yourself too. I am having difficulty forgetting the past situations of injustice in my life that lead me be less then I was supposed to be past 40 year… I feel resentful and irritated that my family failed me in the area of health care

How do you get the motivation to get out of bed?
I am so depressed and I can't seem to even get the motivation to get out of bed. I have no support from my family with my depression and I am so tired of my husband telling me to snap out of it. I have been unable to keep a job for no longer than 2 years which puts even more stress on my family. My

One year on
Thought I’d give a little update on my ARLD journey. After 1 year of initial Fibroscan results which were CAP score 316 and 28.9 kpa elastography score, which shattered my world as it wasn’t expected. My latest results after abstaining from alcohol, which I may say has been oh-so difficult after

update on hubby 4
He continues to make slow improvements. Good days then bad days. He has been confused at times but that is improving slowly too. He is able to walk into the kitchen and bathroom using his walker. Eating small meals and generally more conversational. I saw my GP and he stated that my husband is still

Why would SMALL increase in T3 meds have caused fT3 to go DOWN a LOT and fT4 to also go DOWN?
Can someone help explain the mechanism? Given all nutrients of importance are optimal, why would a very slight increase in cytomel from 10 mcg to 12.5mcg, keeping Synthroid the same (at 75 mcg) have caused — fT3 to have dropped significantly from 65.6% to 37.5% of the reference range (from Oct 24 2022

Caffeine and progression of Parkinson’s disease: A deleterious interaction with Creatine
So I was thinking of adding Creatine to my stack based on a VERY positive video I watched from a "doctor" who it turns out graduated from an unimpressive medical school within the last 10 years and has already surrendered his license. So then I thought I should research his claims about Creatine and

Fear of driving?
Does anyone have similar problem? I start to sweat, sometimes get panic attacks. I was putting off this for a long time but now I really need to drive every day, and this anxiety is blocking me badly. It feels like everyone learns to drive in one day, and just continue to do it without problems, and

Buprenorphine
I am currently taking 300 mg Pregabalin around 7pm and 2x 30 g of codeine (sometimes 3x 30g) during the night. I am also taking ferrous sulphate at 10pm each night. This isn’t working. I take the first codeine half an hour before bedtime and maybe sleep for 1 to 2hours. I then have to walk around/have

RLS & BURPRENORPHINE
Hello everyone, I had been on Oxy for the past couple of years for pain. Recently I switched pain doctors and he switched the Oxy to Buprenorphine 8mg (film). The Buprenorphine, like a miracle, stopped my RLS immediately and it also controlled my pain so much better than the Oxy. In the past couple
