Title - ‘Revenge Bedtime Procrastination’ Is Real, According to Psychologists Subtitle - You know that thing where you stubbornly stay up late for no reason because you feel like you didn't get any time to yourself? Here's how to stop. Link ...

If she suffers from indigestion and/or heartburn and/or acid reflux then perhaps she has low stomach acid ( hypochlorhydria ). It's very common, and lowering stomach acid further with PPIs like omeprazole, or drugs like ranitidine just makes the problem worse.

This post is all about Hanne Kjöller's article, NOT mango, just to make it clear! I can't see any reason why sentence 1 leads to the conclusion in sentence 2. Any author suggesting this sees humans as a group as amorphous lumps whether they come from Croydon, Oslo, Adelaide, or Outer Mongolia...

I was taught how to do this by a respiratory nurse at my GP surgery when I was hyperventilating like mad. I couldn't even hold my breath for more than a second because I was over-breathing so badly. I can now hold my breath for over 30 seconds. I'm certain that the breathing lessons were far...

I wish I could be taller. Perhaps that is my problem. I "wish" to be taller but don't believe that it will ever happen, and that is why I can't increase my height. I don't "believe" therefore I have only myself to blame for being short. Edit : I was making fun of the BPS magical thinking, just...

This post is written with tongue firmly in cheek, and is intended to be sarcastic, not taken seriously... Many years ago I read that a treatment for syphilis that worked for at least some patients was giving the patient malaria to encourage long-lasting very high fevers. Once the patient had...

I'm adding something to my post above... I mentioned that my husband is asthmatic. I forgot to say that his asthma is well controlled most of the time and it is quite rare for him to have episodes of being wheezy. After I had used my Pulse Ox meter I asked OH to use it for a minute or two. What...

Mine varies from about 93 - 97 these days, averaging about 95. I get very occasional levels of 92 or 98. But I've found it difficult to monitor because it changes so often. In years gone by it would regularly be 98 - 99 when tested by a doctor or in hospital. I only bought my Pulse Ox thing...

I've been told, following an MRI, that my pituitary is squashed and the stalk that attaches it to the rest of me is stretched, although the words "empty sella" haven't been said to me. I think it is unlikely that a pituitary which has been flattened in one plane and stretched in another could be...

I get the occasional very short-lived cold (a day or a day and a half and then it's gone). During those times I feel better and can think better. The same effect has been noted on thyroid forums where many of the members have one or more autoimmune diseases.

My emphasis... She appears to have changed her mind on "not blocking critics". She's now blocked thousands of people on Twitter, including many who have never heard of her and many who have never interacted with her or referred to her in any way. So, her Twitter account will be an absolutely...

The above quote is from the link in post #1. I'm rather stunned that the NHS only list "three key symptoms of Covid-19" when so many sufferers have many more than that. I had a rather cynical thought... Is the NHS only acknowledging three symptoms to help them protect their BPS propaganda that...

In some disciplines there are very few of them around. A recent (last year) jaw-dropping example I got from an ENT consultant I saw in my local NHS hospital - I was seeing him about chronic Eustachian Tube Dysfunction that has been going on, intermittently but frequently, for well over a...

In my experience with doctors and bowel problems, they appear to think of the bowel (and the digestive system generally) as a simple tube and usually think that problems only occur with the inside of the tube. The idea that there could be issues on the outside of the tube rarely seems to cross...

I think Jerome's main website is this one : https://healthinsightuk.org/ I've read quite a lot of his output and I like it. By the way, it's Burne with an 'e' on the end. :)

It might have been good at full dose, but I never got to try that option. It was a doctor in a Family Planning Clinic that told me that my GP had only prescribed half the normal dose, but my prescription had not been renewed so I couldn't try it at full dose.

In Post #3442 by Mango having read this sentence "Emma suffers from long-term covid: Feels like her head is going to explode" I wondered if anyone with Long Covid has had the pressure in their heads and spines measured with a Lumbar Puncture? Perhaps sufferers are developing intracranial...

I don't think that can be relied on by anyone in the medical profession. I wonder if the fact that the sufferer in the following link and in the link in post #1 were both female has anything to do with it. Lisa Steen: The wilderness of the medically unexplained I think it probably depends on...

I've been diagnosed with IBS over and over again by various doctors and under various circumstances. As well as the IBS diagnosis, I was also told, a long time ago, that my problems were functional - this was before I knew what it meant, although I remember being deeply suspicious because the...

I have never been tested for nickel allergy or metal allergy or any other allergy or intolerance, but I think I have this problem. In my case I had my ears pierced as a teenager. I was okay for the first ten years, but then things changed and every time I put earrings in, my ear lobes would go...
