Journey to recovery
Hi everyone, I’m in my second month of recovery from IBS. Try Peppermint oil capsules (not the sweets) 30 minutes to 1 hour before your meal; 15 minutes it’s quite ok. The Holland & Barrets is highly recommended . I also take 2 glasses of water every morning before breakfast. Your mental health also

BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

Spirulina and Chlorella
Hi, i was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis 5 years ago and I'm on methotrexate and hydroxycloroquine. I'm was hoping to start taking spirulina and chlorella as they have so many health benefits but I not sure of any drug interactions. I've tried Google but I'm getting conflicting advice, some say

ibs constipation
so I finally went to pelvic floor therapy and they told me that there is no poop in the rectum. That the poop is stuck in my sigmoid based on where I pointed in the upper butt part. My stool is soft and sits there and I go usually one in 2 weeks- a month. I can not pass gas unless it wants to come. I

Ursodeoxycholic acid
Hi, I've been on urso 2000mg daily for 8 years now, but it seems to give me diarrhoea lately. Does anyone else have this trouble, also does it mean it has stopped working? Thank you for any help.

DVLA vision test
I am past 70 so needed to apply for license renewal. I know I have glaucoma in one eye so when I filled out the form online I ticked the box for eye conditions. I’m pretty certain that one of the questions was one or both eyes, I ticked one eye only. Few week later got the dreaded DVLA letter. This surprised

Nothing stops stomach pain
Hi, I'm new here. I've been diagnosed with IBS. I have been prescribed Amitriptyline but it hasn't helped stop daily stomach pain. Cocodamol nor Buscopan has helped either. Does anyone have any other suggestions of how to help relieve stomach pain. I don' t get bloating but the pain can be unbearable

Baclofen pump
Hello my dear friends, My spasticity has gotten worse in my legs. I did a baclofen pump trial about 20 years ago. Made my legs too weak. Now I have much tone, especially my right leg. I don't think much had changed. I am still ambulatory, some days use nothing, trekking pole(s) or a rolator, depending

chemotherapy followed by maintenance avastin
I am getting carbo/taxol and my CA125 is 114. After 6 cycles the doctor wants to start avastin as maintenance. I am afraid that stopping the chemo and having only avastin won't keep the CA 125 down. Has anyone received maintenance avastin having a high CA125? Did it keep the CA125 at the same level

MRI results…how long to wait?
Hi guys, hope you’re all okay. So I had my pelvic MRI scan on Monday, it was awful as I was in the scanner for an hour and 10mins 😥. I stayed strong and got through it though as I know it was important. Just wondered how long you’ve had to wait for results (with nhs). My letter said up to six weeks.

pigment dispersion syndrome
Hi lovely people 😀 I have EDS, not lupus, but many of my symptoms are similar I’ve recently been dxd with pigment dispersion syndrome by an ophthalmologist at our regional eye hospital. It happens when pigment from the iris sheds onto other parts of the eye, causing inflammation and vision problems

Drops affecting eyelashes
I'm 41, had a combined trab & lens replacement in right eye 2 years ago and just lens replacement in left eye a few months later. Now the only drops I take are Dorzolamide timolol in the left eye, twice a day.I switched to the preservative free drops a few months ago but I think it's negatively affecting

Apixaban rash
Diagnosed with DVT 4 weeks ago and prescribed Apixaban for life. This is my 3rd DVT. No problems for weeks and then a rash, very itchy, has developed on upper chest and top of arms. Occasional clusters elsewhere too. Just looking for general comments please before seeking potential switch to warfarin

Insomnia and Felodipine ?
Hi everyoneI have been on Felodipine for several weeks now after trying many other drugs for BP. While I feel a lot better on these drugs my existing insomnia is now off the scale!. I am now averaging 3 or 4 hours a night and over the counter sleeping pills aren't helping much. My GP says she has ran
