Hi All, I'm new here and from New Zealand. I'm 44 years old and for the last 4 years have been drinking 60-70 units of alcohol (neat Vodka) in some weeks (about 14 units a night, with 6-8 weeks alcohol free in a year interspersed) I had a drinking problem before that from age 26 but not nearly as

Hello everyone, My thyroid specialist recommended I take Ashwagandha to keep my cortisol level up after a treatment to improve my levels. I took this brand (not sure if I can state the brand) for a couple of months and was fine, then suddenly I started experiencing diarrhoea, then I became violently

Busereline shortage
Hello, Does anyone know where I can get Busereline? None of the pharmacies have it in stock and their suppliers don’t have it either. I will be starting stims in 11 days and we were hoping to use it alongside the trigger injection. Thanks Sam

Cortisol low,and I’m not well
My rheumie (who is wonderful, private, Suffolk) asked my surgery to do a 9am cortisol test as I have been on 3mg of Pred for many months.

Final stages of CBD
Hi all My dad is in the final stages of CBD and in fact the Palliative Care Consultant seems to think we have less than 3 months left with him. I am really really struggling with this and can't bear the thought of not having my dad but this illness is the cruellest illness I have ever encountered.

Still no symptoms
Hi Nearly a year since being told I had decompensated cirrhosis, sadly I've not been able to stop the drinking but have given up the opiates. Still doing my best to pack in the drink but it's hard. cold turkey for opiates is so easy compared to alcohol. I still want my drugs but I can tell myself no

Failed back surgery
If you have had a failed back surgery, when was it determined? I had l5 s1 fusion, laminectomy and bilateral foraminotomy almost a year ago and am concerned about the amount of back and nerve pain I am still experiencing.

Advice on Spasticity
Following a stroke my partner has severe very painful spasticity in his legs. Despite pain killers and antispasmodic drugs he is in terrible pain when moved ( and pretty well bed ridden as a result) I have managed to get him a referral to a special clinic in Orpington but the waiting list is so long

A surprising week away
I thought I would post this experience as it may help others with the confidence to do more with this awful bowel condition. Most of my 2022 was spent living practically like a hermit. From about April onwards I became so despondent about this condition and convinced myself my life was basically over

Meds to slow motility
In my now full year of bowel problems (started with mainly diarrhoea, then changed to mixed, now seems to be more on the formed side, with the occasional explosion!), I have found that the only thing which gives me confidence to go out and do things is a Loperamide in the morning. It stops the flow
