Alpro Almond Milk..... why do they do this? Any chemists have words of advice?
I stopped having cow's milk sometime ago and have been very happy using Alpro Almond milk instead. It contains Vitamins D2, E, B2 and B12 and calcium as shown in the photo. I noticed today that the packaging had changed and thought to myself "I wonder if anything else has?" So I checked. Yes indeed

Chronic Pain Pharmacist Appointment. Meds advice please.
Finally, have my appointment next week. I’m currently just taking Citalopram 20mg and Ibuprofen and Codeine and co-codamol as needed. I find the Co-codamol gives me terrible rebound headaches but Ibuprofen and Codeine (Neurofen Plus) weirdly does not. Codeine also affects my sleep badly. It sometimes

liquid radioactive iodine therapy
hello. I’m booked in at Mount Vernon hospital on November 14th for RAI. I’m totally rubbish at swallowing tablets so they have agreed to give it to me as a liquid. I’m now getting anxious it may be a massive beaker full and May taste disgusting Has anyone else had it this way and if so what was

Augmentation and Pramipexole
I am trying to come off pramipexole and I am down to 2 a day 88mcq tablets. Is the last part the hardest to do because I feel I need this to end as soon as possible. How long do I stay on 2 a day and then 1 a day? My replacement medicine is 20mg tabs Oxycondone twice a day. At present, I feel absolutely

RAI or continue on Carbimazole?
Does anyone know the long term risks of staying on Carbimazole? I have been told that the Radioiodine treatment is the gold standard of treatment, but the articles online talk about increased risks of cancers. I am on 5mg Carbimazole and have been for 5 and a half years, with 3 monthly blood tests. Twice

Clonazepam, Oxy, Perampanel...oh my!
I've been to see Prof Walker who has prescribed me Clonazepam, if that doesn't work he wants me to try Targinact (Oxy) or Perampanel. I'd love to hear back from y'all with your experiences with these medications (positive or negative). [u]
Perampanel:

struggling with nerve pain after amputation and burn
Hi, I am new to this community and hope I can unload a little bit because I am struggling with nerve pain. I burnt my foot by spilling boiling water over it over 3 years ago, the burn was healing very slowly, I kept getting infections, cellulitis, and swelling. It got to the point that they had to amputate

I really need some help please...
Hi, My partner has encouraged me to join this group as I'm in a big mess with my RA. I'll try and keep it as brief as I can. I was diagnosed with RA (Sero Positive/CCP Positive) in 2021 and given Sulfasalazine. (My partner was trying to get pregnant, so no Methotrexate). My symptoms were joint pain

lidocaine infusion?
Good afternoon everyone. I have Occipital/Trigeminal Neuralgia and have had a variety of treatments for the past 7 years. Most recently a nerve block which went wrong and left me in worse pain. My last option is a lidocaine infusion which I am waiting for. I take Pregablin/codeine/migraine meds etc

Morphine & Oramorph.
Hi all, My dad is now bedridden with CBD. He appears to be in constant pain. Although he can't verbalise. Codeine is no longer keeping him comfortable. Today the GP has prescribed morphine twice daily and Oramorph in between. Has this proven to be an affective pain relief for others please. He already

Recently diagnosed with Hyper Thyroid. Where to go?
Also, I infer from the leaflet that he's sent that his standard recommendation is
Radioactive

ablation which does not fill me with confidence. Can anyone recommend a good consultant to approach. I live in West Yorkshire.

Blood Test results, advice please. Hyperthyroid, Graves.
Details of blood tests since August 2021 shown. I was diagnosed as Hyperthyroid at that time with Graves confirmed by TSH ral, not tested since. Testing for vitamin levels at that time were all normal. My GP requested I have a blood test done earlier this month following a request for a repeat prescription

I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Worrying about symptoms
Diagnosed with Endo on pelvic wall nearly 3 years ago now. In the past year my symptoms have increased drastically. Heavy, painful periods and spotting randomly (on the combined pill). Lower back pain is excruciating it swells physically. Been to physio and pain management for this, they just say MRI
