The basic out-of-work benefit in the UK is less than £4k per year for a single person, though that doesn't include housing costs. People with...
I'm not sure I could press hard enough to do that these days! :laugh: I have a fat pen with an angled barrel, so I barely need to grip it all,...
At Christmas, a friend with ME was talking about how much she struggles to write these days. A couple of weeks ago I bought her a fountain pen as...
It's be really dangerous, so I'm not at all surprised it can be an ME trigger. There was an outbreak of it some years ago where I used to live,...
Limescale: dry surfaces after use, including the shower head – I unscrew it, wipe it with a cloth, and leave it to dry. I keep a dry cloth next to...
'Many patients with suggestive symptoms of CES have no radiological correlate.' This is hardly astounding, though, given that doctors and physios...
I usually start from the assumption that a study on a branded food supplement is part of the marketing strategy. It can therefore be ignored until...
I'd either have to wear an entire goldfish bowl over my head, or boxing gloves on my hands, before I could remember not to touch my face for more...

Yes, that's because it comes as Diclofenac sodium, or Diclofenac potassium. The potassium version apparently works quite a bit quicker than the...
Diclofenac is just the generic name, Voltaren or Voltarol is a trade name. If it's diclofenac sodium (as opposed to diclofenac potassium), it'll...
It's complex because no-one has followed patients over time. We have no idea how many people recover permanently, and how many have a sustained...
That reminded me of a tip I might or might not have mentioned here before: FaceTiming my dinner! :laugh: If I put something on a low light that's...
@NelliePledge and @Invisible Woman, it struck me that it'd be quite hard to choose a specialised stool without trying it out for comfort and range...
