I wonder what's mysterious about it?

This is just an aside, but the way I measure my own fatigue has varied over the years. 1) How long can I hold my arms above my head? I've always been able to raise my arms, but at my worst they would drop instantly I got them above my head. 2) How many stairs can I walk up before I start to...

I don't have studies. But the NHS suggests fasting overnight (for 12 hours) before iron testing : https://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1018.aspx?CategoryID=69 The link I gave you earlier : http://www.americanhs.org/faq.htm : mentions fasting and giving up iron supplements for a week before the tests...

Thanks for the reply and the information. I hadn't realised that it was not guaranteed there will be a debate. This is very depressing. I suspect this particular petition may get a very large number of responses, which will make it harder for the government to dismiss. But will the media even...

The petition has reached 115,112 signatures at time of writing. This means that parliament must debate it properly, it can't be passed secretly. Yippee! It will be interesting to see how much higher it goes.

It's getting very close - over 96,000 now - it's doubled since I first saw the petition earlier today. :thumbup:

A review from a cardiologist of the meta-analysis posted in the original post in this thread : Fawning Coverage of New Antidepressants Review Masks Key Caveats

Good idea, and now Done. :)
