Feeling really low
I posted here a few weeks ago regarding having an MRI for ongoing back pain. The MRI only showed degenerative changes, but also picked up a small lymph gland outside the pelvis. I’ve had to wait 4 weeks for a CT scan and get the results tomorrow. My mind is playing tricks on me I’m thinking the worse

diarrhoea, sickness and stomach pain
This is not something I normally suffer with so wondering if adrenals waking up might cause this? If not then the pate I had on Friday night was the culprit.

Restless Legs Syndrome
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

takotsubo Cardiomyopathy phobia
I have panic disorder and agoraphobia. They say that stress can cause heart attack takotsubo syndrome even if I have a healthy heart. I'm constantly afraid of being scared because of this situation, please help me in case I get too scared and die.

Bronchoscopy
Tomorrow I am having a bronchoscopy and it's obviously necessary since I have lung involvement with my breast cancer. I am having a little anxiety about this procedure. I have a DVT under my left armpit where one of the cancer mass is with numerous blood clots. The surgeon said I will be asleep. Can

Vitamin B12 produced by gut bacteria modulates cholinergic signalling
I simply can't help but think that this has some relevance to Pernicious Anaemia. But goodness knows what! And the lack of access precludes reading it all to try to find out. Seems such an odd bit of genetics that we developed an incredibly complex system to grab a tiny bit of B12 from our food, which

Panic Attacks and Obsessive thoughts
hello everyone! So glad to be joining this group. I had health with panic disorder, anxiety, and Tourette’s for some time now, but have noticed a big turn in how I can manage. Last year I began planning a trip to Australia so my partner and I could go and meet his family. That trip ended a month ago

Worried about blood
Hi all Since September ish I have been suffering with constipation. I went to my doctors and was prescribed laxido. This helped and I was able to go toilet with no pain. I stopped taking it as I didn't want to be dependant on it but the constipation returned. I do about 90% of the time have bright red

I figured out how to tolerate antibiotics (trimethoprim in this case) without huge neuropathic pain flare!! (for real this time!)
I've been posting about this on and off all year trying to get some answers. Anyway, I'll keep it short. I've been unable to tolerate Trimethoprim or Doxycycline without the both causing unbearable neuropathic pain (burning, stinging, tingling, etc). I tried multiple times and failed to continue after

Iron, estrogen & RLS
Just wondering if anyone is aware of any connection between iron & estrogen (from an RLS perspective)? I'm a 73 year-old male, and I've had high-ish estrogen levels for at least the last 7 years (42-49; normal level should be below 41). I think there is some correlation between high estrogen and high
