Sometimes, somethings, knock us for six
Hello everyone, hope you are all having a relatively good day today. I've not been here for a while as I've been in rather a dark place where things just become overwhelming. Apart from that I had a bad dose of laryngitis which lingered for what seemed like an eternity and my joints and muscles got

I think I have IBS but I'm scared to get it sorted out
So it began around January of 2016. I began having severe diarrhoea and pretty much the other symptoms of IBS. My family became aware and I ended up going to doctors before being referred to a clinic where I had to have a barium drink, but it didn't show anything on the X-ray. I know this is stupid,

The descriptive list of toxins found in my body is 35 pages long, at levels up to 5,000 x the safe limit. Lead, arsenic, cadmium, barium, mercury etc..Enough lead for 510 people to be legally certified

At my wits end, literally
I have had two Datscan tests which both confirm Parkinsonism. I have frequent falls, have barium swallow test confirming need for thickening food and drink due to swallowing problems and when I develop a sinus drip I have syncope (brief fainting spells due to choking and coughing 15 to 20 times a day

For those of you with swallowing problems.......
Hi all, I know many of you here suffer with various swallowing problems so I thought these links might be helpful to some of you. I had never heard of an oesophageal web till my barium swallow showed it and apparently it is common in many connective tissue disorders. I'm just glad I have the proof

More PIP stress
After years of hell with my health I now have the transfer from DLA to PIP to endure! I sent all sorts of letters from my consultants and factual evidence from my GP but my GP is refusing to give a letter stating 'how my condition affects me ' for PIP. I stupidly thought it would be enough but on top

Why is it so difficult to Interact with G.P.s ?
Hello. This is my first post, although I have been a lurker for some time. I am 65, female, with many symptoms which brought me to this forum. I thought I was B12 deficient about a year ago after finding information by accident which appeared to sum me up completely. So, I started taking B12, but nothing

Stomach pain with muscle discomfort
Hi there, for the last 4 months I've had stomach pain(right between ribs mostly after eating)with muscle discomfort in upper and lower back. Both symptoms come and go, sometimes I feel good for a couple days then it's back. The discomfort can last for hrs. Naturopath treated me with candida supplements
