I had a blood test which showed I was low in Vit D. I take a high dose in winter and lower in summer. I've just come back from two weeks in Florida, I forgot to take any supplements with me and didn't bother buying any as I was getting the benefit of plenty of sunshine. I have been on a lower...

Absolutely......would love to try it.

While they probably aren't loud enough to cause damage those Xcelerator type hand dryers in public toilets can be very uncomfortable to the ears.........in a conversation quite a few people I know have admitted that if that is the only option they would prefer not to wash their hands. I now...

Got a huge variety of buzzes, rings and hisses, fortunately seldom all at the same time!! Looking back I can't even remember what the original noise was, a hiss I think. I get an occasional musical tone, not particularly unpleasant but for some strange reason that's the one I really dislike and...

Done.......but I'm firmly in the 'why would I even need this camp'. To me it seems like an opportunity for people to profit from other people's anxiety.

I have fluctuating T and hearing loss. As I've mentioned elsewhere I fly quite a bit, maybe three return transatlantic flights a year and the same around Europe. I can honestly say I have never experienced any real problems with flying. I got back to London from Miami on 6.30 a.m. on Sunday...

As flying often comes up one here I thought I would share my story from yesterday. I flew from London to Newark yesterday, I fly fairly frequently without any problems. I do take a few minor precautions such as noise cancelling headphones but to be honest one of the things I like about flying...

@Jason C I have had sporadic T for at least twenty years. It progressed to moderate (at the time I thought it was severe....little did I know) about eight years ago after a stapedectomy op to correct the hearing loss in my left ear failed, the hearing loss was due to otosclerosis. In the...

On 20th September I flew from London to Newark and returned to London on 27th September. I used my noise cancelling headphones for part of each flight to listen to music or an audio book, I briefly used earplugs on the return flight in a futile attempt to get some sleep. I used to chew gum...

I take generic paracetamol (acetaminophen) whenever I need some form of pain relief and have never had any problems. As a first resort for headaches I use a product called 4Head, it's a small stick containing Levomenthol that you apply direct to the forehead, surprisingly effective.

Yesterday evening I was invited to a Gong Therapy workshop by a friend and decided to go because it sounded interesting. I brought along my yoga mat as instructed fully expecting there to be a lecture or talk followed by a short meditation session with gongs. How wrong could I be? It was...

@Zora Brilliant!! Only just seen this you really made me chuckle. Good to see you are getting out and about and starting to enjoy life again. Well done you.

@Mario martz as you say 'enjoy the ride' but please do try the plane another time, I'm sure you would be fine. I fly across the Atlantic fron London to the U.S. about three times a year without problem. Off to NJ/NYC in a few weeks and I can't wait. DF has quite a pollution problem doesn't...

South Buckinghamshire, England.

I'm on holiday in Southern Spain. The first day I arrived just over a week ago I developed a rash on my lower back, turns out it's shingles/zoster virus. I've been to see a doc and got some meds but it still itches and stings like crazy. On the plus side it's made me completely forget about my...
