Nicotine as a Nootropic, and Ways to Get it Without Smoking
Nicotine gets a bad rap because it's associated with smoking and addiction. But if you take it safely and in the right way, its benefits might surprise you. There’s a lot more to nicotine than smoking and addiction. Like caffeine, it’s a powerful smart drug, and when you get it at low doses in its pure

It's back what supplements are ok?
Hi all, Budge up everyone, I need a place at the PMR table again. My last Pred was taken in December 2016 or so I thought. My osteo arthiritis flared a couple of weeks ago but after three days of Flarin it didn't calm down. I noticed after a while a few familiar shoulder twinges and booked a telephone

I've had more MRI's than I can count, both with and without, but today's didn't go too well. It was later in the day than usual, so I didn't get my standard afternoon nap. After the MRI was finished, I had a lot of trouble just sitting up on the bed. It was like my body was frozen in place. In a short

How fast can f2 fibrosis progress f4 cirrhosis?
Hello. I have another question; hoping someone can enlighten me. In 2019, F2 fibrosis with severe steatosis was diagnosed. Fast-forward to December 2021 and a fibroscan showed F4 cirrhosis.
