Constipation ....
Sooooo, while there are some things which are considered "unmentionable", they are often the things where a chat can be very helpful. Many of us are on heavy pain medications, most of which cause constipation. Personally, I can go eight days and end up with nausea and stomach pain. Yes, I have tried

Medication question
Has anyone been on a sedating antipsychotic that still allowed them to look after their children in the night? I'm on aripiprazole and while it has worked, I've just had it increased (going through a bad spell with my bipolar) and it is causing extreme anxiety and agitation. I also have chronic sleep

Hypothyroidism and sleep apnoea ...
I've received a letter from Guy's and St Thomas' about the home sleep study I did on 24th October. The letter says I have severe obstructive sleep apnoea. I have a provisional/suspected diagnosis of central hypothyroidism, and also have growth hormone deficiency. I have been titrating up on Levo, starting

Hair texture changes? Hyper or hypo?
What condition(s) makes hair go: a) from wavy/curly to straight? b) darker at the back of your neck? c) grey/blonde -> brazzy/orange? Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism? Possibly other conditions?

Help dealing with anxiety
I just joined this website as I was encouraged by my therapist to find a support group for my anxiety. This is my first post and I am hoping she was right in how beneficial this could be for me. I am currently suffering from general anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and agoraphobia. I am not completely

Hello everyone
I really hope I’m doing this right and posting in the correct place. This is my first week of joining the weight loss support. For the first few weeks I’m going to follow a very low calorie sole source diet. It seems to be the only way I’ve had success in the past. Starting weight today 88kg Would

Caffeine Advice
Hi everyone! I suffer with depressive episodes and generalised anxiety disorder. I had a bad episode last September and I made some lifestyle changes which included completely cutting out alcohol and also caffeinated coffee (I still consume caffeine if it is in something like coke zero for example).

Quinidine Sulphate
About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome and had a de-fib fitted as well as prescibed Quinidine and Bisoloprol which I have taken ever since. 4 years ago my de-fib activated so my Consultant increased the levles of Quinidine. However I am told by my Consultant & Pharmacy that they cannot

Duloxetine for pain and anxiety.
I have been prescribed Duloxetine for pain, anxiety and depression. I have fibromyalgia and FND. I was taking 20mg twice a day, morning and evening but it was no longer effective. About a month ago the doctor raised it to 60mg, but said I must take 40 mg at night and 20mg in the morning. I am feeling

PTSD from chronic illness?
Hello lovely people, I’ve been reading recently about the trauma resulting from living with chronic illness. It seems there is a growing body of research acknowledging the traumatic effects of living with a threat that resides in your own body (something they’re calling Enduring Somatic Threat). I

New to the group.
I've been dealing with my PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder for two years now. Lately I have been super frustrated and feel completely alone.

Found this in Waitrose (Bit pricey!) Lovely creamy Oat Kefir. Dairy, soya and gluten free... Edit ** Found a recipe they use milk grains**
£3!! and rather annoyingly really nice... heck I'm worth it! I only went in for a sneaky sushi treat 😏 Edit... actually cheaper in Waitrose as they sell the 500g where as the other only sell 250g £1.85 Oat Base (Water, Gluten-Free Oats (11%), Sunflower Oil, Salt), Coconut Cream, Stabilisers (Tapioca

Question
Besides having PTSD and anxiety, I'm also Type 1 Diabetic. I'm on the fence about getting a service dog. I think one would help a lot not only with my PTSD/anxiety, but also my Type 1 Diabetes, since its uncontrolled. Part of me wants to get one because I think it would really help in my everyday life
