Barium Swallow Experience ?
Hello, I am due to have a barium swallow next week and getting a bit anxious about it. I have had endoscopies in the past, due to Celiac disease and Gastritis, but the last one made me feel really unwell, which is why my Doctor has recommended the Barium swallow. I have read up on some peoples experiences

L-tryptophan or 5-HTP
If I wean myself off 7.5mg of Mirtazapine ,I am wondering if l-tryptophan or 5 -HTP would be an effective substitute ? If so ,which one is preferable please and what would a characteristic dosage ? How long until one would see an improvement in sleep patterns? Thanks Peter

Red line and dark discoloration on neck
Hi Folks. Hope everyone is safe and well during this pandemic. Ever since the pandemic started and the stress went overboard, I've started having this thin red/dark line on the side of my neck. It comes and goes, for the last two days it's been there. Somedays it disappears. There's not much discomfort

B2 vitamin
I have recently come across having low B2 causing low mode, fatigue, skin problems, hair falling out etc. I have had some of the symptoms of low B2 I know my b12 is in the right range. A B2 test needs you to do a pee test. I’ve not ever been tested for low B2 and I’m wondering may be this is getting

Oy, so many on here also suffer from upper GI issues ie reflux, heartburn, gastritis and there's a pretty good treatment - Zinc L-Carnosine
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146259/ "Here's a blurb from the article: "In an ethanol-induced gastro-injury rat model, ZnC treatment decreased the ulcer index of the rat stomach and showed a significant ulcer-healing effect similar to the gastric mucoprotective agent rebamipide [31].

Mouth Taping
I have been a ' mouth breather' all my life . ( 70 yrs old now). I would say it became problematic as I entered by 50's. Waking up in the middle of the night with extreme dry mouth/throat. Then waking in the morning with a slight headache and low energy. I somehow landed on a 'mouth taping' site (

UK pharmacies in dark about ministers’ plan to maintain drug supplies
The headline might be a bit overdone but, as you read, it is clear that we simply do not know what is happening. Nor what will happen. This follows at least one post about delays in getting Teva levothyroxine - which must be one of the most common thyroid medicines.

Pain with swallowing
I suffer from health anxiety and depression. After being on an antibiotic for possible tick bite, I began having pain about four inches under left armpit every time I swallow something solid. This has been going on for 7weeks now. Not worsening and no other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this

I need a rant!
WARNING: MAY STRAY INTO MELODRAMATIC SELF PITY So.....after very recently being rejected for a referral to NHS endo I have now been told that my ultrasound has been rejected too. I asked for this as I can now see a visible swelling on my neck and it would help me get a NHS diagnosis for my Hashi's.

Where to next with throat issues?
I had the results of my barium swallow and nothing abnormal was found. Despite that my swallowing problems are getting worse and I can’t bear anything around my neck because of the discomfort it causes. The ENT doctor won’t carry out any further tests, is there anything I can do to help myself?
