This is something I've often thought about. Good to see someone else is thinking about it too.

I am going to pop the info for this in the repeat prescription box the next time i apply for my tabs.

[greygoose in reply to Lizzy1606]

Great idea! Will you sign it or will it be anonymous?

[Lizzy1606 in reply to greygoose]

Hi Grey Goose, my father has recently been diagnosed with dementia this seems to be sort of linked to him taking highly toxic drugs for Trigeminal neuralgia for years. He was never checked over during all the years of taking the drug and it all seemed to come to light last year, when the doctors said he had taken too much of this drug for too many years?? Of course there is no alternative drug for him to take for the pain, so he unfortunately still takes them but in a more controlled way rather then, whenever he felt pain. He did try to have the operation but there are considerable downsides to that, of course not all decisions are necessarily put on the table for sufferers of diseases.

I also don't know how true this is but I once saw an article in a medical post about Paracetamol linked to Alzheimers. Apparently a drug readily available in most of the western world and actually not tested as much as you would expect. It seems all is very hush hush about that particular theory. I don't know about the truth like I say but when I get a headache which unfortunately is often, I try to steer clear of Paracetamol....

I always find your posts very interesting.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father, thywhat. How sad. But isn't that typical of doctors! They prescribe it for years and years and then suddenly say Oops! you've taken too much! Well, who's fault is that?!?

Is your father also hypo? I've been wondering about a possible link between thyroid and Trigeminal neuralgia. Not that I know much about TN, but so many hypos seem to have it. It makes you Wonder.

I Don't like paracetamol, either. It's always made me feel funny. It was my mother's drug of choice and it always worried me that she'd take too much - especially after my father died. It's so easy to forget you've taken some and take some more. When I was in hospital the other year, with very bad pain, it was all they would give up - 6 tablets a day! I told them I would rather have ibuprofen - althought that has it's own drawbacks, of course, but works better than paracetamol - they couldn't give me a reason for not letting me have it, just muttered something nonsensical and walked away. And they gave me boxes and boxes to come home with, but I Don't use it. Go figure!

Hi GG, sorry my response is a bit late. I have had issues logging in.

You are right my father is now hypo and he has about 10 tablets he needs to take a day Levo being 2 of them. He is like a walking pill box. He never complains and takes it all in his stride. You do have an interesting thought about TG and hypo, perhaps another link? It seems so many drugs help in one area but can poison other areas of the body, but there is no monitoring. I do understand the NHS are stretched but even if they informed you, it would be a good start.

The more I look into paracetamol the more I fear it. I guess with what I'm seeing with my father, although it was for different reasons. The problem with paracetamol is that it seems so safe, in that it is prescribed as the drug of choice for all ills and more importantly that it is harmless. Which is probably way your mother and many others (mine included) take it regularly for pain, temperature etc. well done for questioning especially in hospital and when you are in pain. I hope all is well now but of course they don't like to be questioned do they? Doctors?? I'm so sorry to here about your father. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks GG, happy researching for all of us...

It may be good to check his B12 levels. LOW B12 is a neurological condition and NOT a vitamin one ! The myelin sheath - that protects the nerves - can become compromised when B12 is low. Also where is his VitD ?

I wonder how many pills he is taking for various conditions that could be resolved by adequately treating the thyroid and of course having OPTIMAL levels of nutrients...

The B12 test is pretty useless - but it could be a guide to how low he is. Also Docs seem to know so little about vits and minerals.....especially when there is a drug that can be dispensed to treat symptoms.

I compare Modern Medicine with the Greek situation - they are treating the symptoms and NOT the cause I live in Crete !

[Harv69]

Hi Marz, I had difficulty in seeing your great video yesterday. I've just managed to open it and love it. So true 👍

Thanks for your thoughts, he takes a multi vit and not sure of others. I will check with my mother.

I hope all is well in Crete.

[greygoose in reply to Harv69]

A multi-vitamin is of very little use. It doesn't contain enough of anything to treat a true deficiency. One needs to have one's vits and mins tested to know exactly what to take and how much. A multi-vitamin also can contain things we Don't want, like calcium and iodine.

[Marz in reply to Harv69]

...all is well thywat - here in sunny Crete. We just keep being hit by more and more taxes ( they know Northern Europeans will pay up ! ) - so its time to go Greek and ignore everything

[Harv69]

Haha, good luck ☀️
