Gabapentin useful?
Hello folks I recently read some anecdotal info about the epilepsy drug Gabapentin being helpful for reactive tinnitus. Admittedly it was on the minefield that is tinnitus talk. Has anybody here tried or is taking Gabapentin & does it help? Here is the link if your feeling brave! https://www.tinnitustalk.com

Dry eyes and hydration
I have lived with glaucoma for more than a decade, and over the years the associated experience of dry eyes and blurred vision has become an increasing problem alongside the treatment interventions and the eye drops that I’m required to use. Some days are worse than others and I’ve never really understood

colonoscopy query
I’m scheduled to endure a colonoscopy on 16th January. We are booked on a flight to Thailand on 1st February (14 hours) . Guidelines say two weeks should pass before flight so in theory ok. However this is a trip of a lifetime for us, much delayed and all booked before this cancer worry. I’ve no idea

How much can one body take?
As if 2 strokes in 15 months plus a double lung transplant isn’t enough I have now been told I suffered a mild ( thank the Lord mild) heart attack recently which I wasn’t aware of. “Possible inferior infarct- age undetermined “ is their medical term for a myocardial arrest. Suppose on a positive note

red spots?
This is my showcase of the weird red spots I get on my fingers! I think I have posted one of the pics the first time it happened, but since then I get the exact same spots from time to time, so it wasn't a one off. Does anyone else get these? Anyone know what they are? Of course I've been googling

lungwort
I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and I’m having radiotherapy at this time. My daughter saw a supplement called Lungwort which she thought might help me. I bought it but I’m now a bit worried about taking it in case it does me harm. My question is - has anyone with a lung condition tried it

On Friday 16th April 2010 I joined the Pernicious Anaemia Society and posted the following: “I was diagnosed with PA back in 1972 consequent upon having had surgery for a peptic ulcer in April 1959 at the tender age of 17. In those days I was not many years from having to be put on a diet of raw liver
