Feel like I'm going mad
At the end of January I ended up in hospital with low sodium levels and very dehydrated and then suffered 2 fits which resulted in a fractured spine. I was tested for thyroid disfunction and indicated hyperthyroidism though my aunt and grandmother had low.My hospital ultrasound was said by radiographer

Sodium cromoglycate inhaler (Intal)
Can anyone share their experience getting Intal inhaler since it has been delisted in the UK? Or, do you now take it via a nebulizer instead? If yes, can you share the name of the nebulizer device and the manufacturer of the cromolyn/chromoglycate solution? Pubmed indicates it's less effective than

Treating constipation hasn't affected the wetting accidents
My son is 8 and has never been dry, day or night. I began toilet training him after his third birthday and I thought at first that I must have done it wrong as he could never keep dry. He would have the occasional poo accident too, but his real problem was wees. I took him to GPs and HVs and was either

Advice needed please about liquid Levothyroxine side effects
Hello, I wrote a post about a month ago saying my adult son was unable to get liquid levothyroxine as it was out of stock. He was taking the brill Pharma brand and tolerated it really well. The chemist managed to source Teva liquid levothyroxine three weeks after we asked for a repeat prescription

Stress, again taking a comeback....
So I have been at work for 10 months and I have had to move rooms that I work in, honestly to help out that room and put the managers mind at rest I would be OK doing it. Well I thought it was lasting a couple of months but it hasn't. I ended up getting stressed out because of the noise and doing nothing

I need some help with this
I am having the most painful but weird cramping. It is only a night and it is getting worse, not better. Yesterday I had them and I did not have dialysis because we infiltrated the fistula, AGAIN. We thought it was the iron I was taking, but I stopped that last week. These cramps are not in my calves

How to improve your blood pressure
I have recently fallen in love. With capillaries. In his brilliant book, ‘The Secret Language of Cells’, Dr John Leif, physician and neuroscientist, dedicates a whole chapter to them, calling these tiny vessels, ‘brain centres’ of tissue development. With a yogic lens, this speaks to the body intelligence
