He spent 12 days in hospital and a further week in the hotel before he was fit to fly. Within three days of being home he was walking quite well, only occasionally using

Sodium Picosulfate
my foster child has been on either Laxido or Movecol since he was 5years old, he is now 12. He had a brief time of no soiling during Covid and isolation, and another one a year ago where he didn’t soil. He has now been put on sodium Picosulfate, since November last year. He has a 5ml dose each evening

b12 purchase
Hi I was treated by GP for low B12 for a year but once my levels were midway on “normal range” the injections were discontinued and I struggle to find ways to boost my intake orally. I have just purchased Hydroxocobalamin online but am unsure if the dosage is similar to that I was previously prescribed

My response to WinnieThePoo.
"You are sure it's [ALS/PD/AD] a toxic syndrome? Can you describe a mechanism of action for the disease process? You are sure it's not diet? Or stress? Of course you are sure. But unlikely to offer a viable solution to share. Meanwhile, those less blinkered [blinded by tunnel vision] research solutions

Switch diet to Vegetarian - save your kidneys
Please kidney patients switch your diet to plant based. I did and it saved me from dialysis. Look up Dadvice on faecbok, Jen Hernandez a dietician who worked in Dialysis patients who now promotes a plant based diet (vegetarian). You can type in Jen Hernandez as a search. Another source has a program

Sue perhaps you can help me, I have been successfully relying on diet for years but RLS seems to be catching up. I am in Australia. Perhaps its simply a matter of getting older (currently 79) but a couple of other things might be a problem. I tore a hamstring muscle or tendon that apparently caused

Been away for a bit...depression hit hard
Hello M.S. family. I haven't written in a few months, but I have been reading posts to keep up with everyone. It's been a pretty rough time for me. At the end of March, my mom passed away, and I have just been reeling. My grief has left me exhausted, numb, and feeling like I'm in a fog. The depression

Pain killers and Hip replacement
Can someone help please. My hospital says it is VERY HIGH RISK me having a hip replacement, which means I have been having cortisol injections in both hips for 5 years. My hips are so so bad that the injections only last a few weeks rather than months. When I was diagnosed with JAK2 and mylioproliferative

Dry eyes
Hi helpful warriors I am on 35 mg of pred for next 2 weeks, then tapering to 30. Does pred cause dry eyes? ( did have cataract removal surgery in June of 2023.) Since diagnosis of GCA in late July 2023 I have had very dry eyes. I am on Thealoz Duo drops (3% Trehalose, 0.15 Sodium Hyaluronate).

A new approach for treatment of subthreshold bipolar disorders: Targeted high dose levothyroxine+repetitive TMS for mitochondrial treatment
A very interesting paper. Difficult to grab any individual bits for discussion or introduction. The whole paper isn't very long. Even if bipolar disorders are not themselves of much direct interest, it might be worth a quick read because it discusses the control group as well and their ability to tolerate
