I hope you get through it okay, @Sarah94. I hate those journeys into the unknown with tests. I haven't considered lethal force (yet), but I have...
(In case anyone wonders why I didn't include DecodeME or the involvement with the NICE committee as exemplars...I assume we'd all put those at the...
I've followed the developments of the Commission on Social Security project for a couple of years, and as they've got a live-streamed event...
From what I've seen, most people mentioning that they haven't been invited to submit a sample have thyroid disease. Whilst they said it felt...
I see that as more important than government programmes anyway. Top-down initiatives are often poorly designed and targeted, and are vulnerable to...
It might help if you cleared the cookie that the survey website placed on your computer. You'd lose all your responses, but you might not need a...

I had one too, and they were great. You could choose whether to screen calls or not. I remember it looked complicated to set up because there were...
Will do. I'm not hopeful, though! They can reduce potassium levels or shift the electrolyte balance, which will be the reason you're being...
Sorry to hear that, @Shadrach Loom. It must be a real struggle. This is another N=1 anecdote, and I really hesitated about posting it. But here...
Oh, that's helpful, thank you. I haven't even started on mine yet in case the delays are still ongoing by next year. This is entirely possible,...
