Being low or high in vitamin B6 levels can cause neuropathic pain. I have no experience of using CBD oil in sensible doses, but I've read lots of comments about it helping people for pain of various kinds. I can't take evening primrose oil because it does drastic things to my mental health for...

And don't forget that anyone with an axe to grind can delete pages they don't like. For example, Dr Malcolm Kendrick's page got deleted fairly recently because some stupid and anonymous wiki editor decided he was a quack. There appeared to be little or no requirement for this person to justify...

I think this would be the start of a very, very, VERY slippery slope. The next things that would be in the firing line is access to information about statins that disagrees with what pharmaceutical companies want us to think. And what about diet? How many people would have tried a low carb...

I wonder if the powers-that-be are trying to shorten life expectancy and reduce the size of the population. In doing so there is a saving on costs in national systems of healthcare, the non-rich will be forced to pay for healthcare if and when they are desperate enough and can save up enough...

Anecdotal info based on my own experience : I reduced my own anxiety by optimising my iron and other minerals and vitamins. If you have an iron or other nutrient test instigated by a doctor they will often tell you that results are fine if the results are just inside the reference range. But...

I would say no. See the government response on this page : https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 :(

Unfortunately, there are plenty of idiots in the UK who want to get rid of the NHS. And I don't think they are all rich either. They are probably people who have been healthy all their lives and have never had to worry about the cost of healthcare. Sadly, the NHS is collapsing through lack of...

On the donor wall the map on the USA tab and the map and list of donors on the International tab only shows up in Chrome for me. In Firefox there is only a list of donors on the USA tab and no map, and the international tab won't even show up.

Article continues here : https://medium.com/s/story/the-trump-administration-wants-to-snoop-on-disabled-americans-f2fcaae78ad3 What is described in this article is, I think, already familiar to disabled people in the UK. There has been an assumption for years amongst the Powers That Be in the...

I'd give you a dozen likes for this if I could! :laugh:

'The NHS is finally saying no!' - this is what patients could no longer be able to get on prescription My suggested alternative title : "How to make life even more difficult for the poor and sick". A chart showing what medicines patients will be stopped from getting on prescription has gone...

Unless I can't see the wood for the trees, the article appears to be anonymous. I notice at the bottom it says "Posted in [sic] George Winter". Are we supposed to assume George Winter is the author? Is he a journalist? Is he an editor? How much weight does he carry in psychiatric or medical...

This link doesn't work on sci-hub any more - or at least it doesn't for me. The abstract has now been posted on this link : https://ammes.org/2018/12/28/severe-posterior-hypometabolism-but-normal-perfusion-in-a-patient-with-cfs-me/ I've just noticed that the original source for this was from...

I have problems with writing sometimes. Most of the writing I do these days is reminders to myself to do things, or very occasionally I have to fill in a form or sign something. I sometimes lose control of my hand, and without any warning at all my hand will jerk in a random direction and what...

@Alvin @Mij For the body to make use of vitamin B12 it is necessary to have good levels of folate too. Folic acid is not the best choice for improving folate levels. See this link for details : The little known (but crucial) difference between folate and folic acid | Chris Kresser

Could be low vitamin B12. See this link for more symptoms : https://www.b12deficiency.info/signs-and-symptoms/ @Alvin Note that one of the symptoms mentioned is Impaired fine motor coordination

Thanks. I think I was taking well within the upper safe intake. But when I get spooked by something, logic tends to fly out the window.

@oldtimer Thanks for the description of how to stretch pectoral muscles. It sounds doable so I'll give it a try. :) @Alvin Thanks for the vitamin suggestions. I already supplement with vitamin K2, but I've let my vitamin D supplementation lapse. I do intend to re-start it. I haven't...

Thanks, Trish. I don't know why I didn't think about looking for myself - a temporary blank I think. Thanks, Wonko. I should have thought of MRI machines - I've had a few MRIs in my time. And I've also got a nephew who tests and services MRI machines in far flung places around the world. He...
