Neuropathy treatments
Unfortunately as we all know, good treatment for neuropathy is generally poor. I've tried as most people have everything. The only way I control my feet neuropathy is plenty of walking icing and messaging with deep heat before bed. The only medication I take is ibuprofen - one table 400mg give me 50%

Cerebral Fluid leak
After several
head
injuries
in 70s and 80s I then had one in 1990 which caused a small tear in the membrane contaning the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and it leaked out through one nostril. That one healed and for 25 years I didn't have another, despite more head bangs.

Colestyramine
Hi, I've tried taking this in water, juice and mashed banana with a touch of milk and find it impossible. Has anyone tried putting it in glycerine capsules and drinking plenty of water? My itch is driving me nuts!!!! Hope you're all keeping well

CRASH.
I’d been given some packs of medication and a small leaflet about
head
injuries
that advised plenty of rest, to eat light meals, and no alcohol for five days. I was told that should any symptoms such as blurred vision, vomiting, or seizures occur, to return to the hospital.

High systolic blood pressure but normal diastolic blood pressure meaning in B12 deficiency, do you have the same issue?
My systolic blood pressure 14.5 mm hg and diastolic blood pressure is between 9.2 to 8.1 Is that normal and I have mostly muscle weakness neuropathy. Higher systolic blood pressure is the root cause of heart attack. I'm to see my cardiologist on October. My High systolic blood pressure is not related

Arthritis or hyper mobility?
Hi, I’m new to this and to be honest I’m not even sure if I’m in the right place but here goes. A little bit of background, I used to do a lot of judo when I was in my early 20’s and I used to work in a shop, lugging in deliveries etc. Did this for a lot of years and then got a second job in a Post

Covid
Sam's still got a while before he gets his covid jab as he's only 25 but has anyone had concerns expressed about any possible effects of the jab on those who've suffered

More interesting news about Red Light Therapy
Various groups have also shown that shining deep red or near-infrared light on the
head
can improve the condition of animals used to model brain
injuries
and conditions, such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease, in lab experiments.
