Adcal or not
Sorry I'm unable to cut and paste. A recent letter to a doctor in the newspaper asked about having taken Lansoprazole for a problem can cause bones to thin. Recently diagnosed with advanced Osteoporosis she has been prescribed AA and Adcal. The doctor suggests that calcium carbonate would be better changed

Medical marijuana in the UK
Hi everyone. Has anyone in the UK used a private doctor to obtain medical marijuana? There appear to be quite a few reputable private medical centres that will prescribe it, but at a significant cost. But Having tried pretty much every other pain relief I’m considering giving it a try and would appreciate

Missed period, increased pain?
Hi everyone, I'm having a bad month, honestly saw it coming because last month I had only a 2 day period and then 9 days of spotting plus some spotting at ovulation. That doesn't usually happen unless I'm going to miss a period the month after or I'm pregnant. Just to clarify, I'm 100000000% not pregnant
