I’m 53 and, after nearly 30 years of pain, I was diagnosed by telephone by an unnamed consultant that I had endometriosis and it was within my muscle to the left of my left ovary. I have received no advice, support or treatment since that diagnosis 3 years ago. The pain had now grown and is under my

I can’t believe what glorious weather we’re having but 30 seconds stood in it to wave relatives off this afternoon was enough for me! Definitely enjoyed the respite of the brief showers too.

Sorry I haven't reply to any yet, but I had an emotional few days.I've just been back to the doctors, (different, more senior gp this time) for some pain management advice. I told him all areas that hurt and he said "Ooh, rheumatology

Iodine, a nutrient found in dairy and some fish, plays an important role in thyroid disease, but is not well known by the public. Understanding how people gain information about diet and (thyroid) health, to convert it into practice is important to inform awareness campaigns and medical education.

But I am now concerned about the iodine. I take 2 tablets daily which equates to 0.0088350mg of iodine. Does anyone know if it is ok to be taking them? Many thanks
