You couldn't make it up. Sorry, just noticed it's Fox News, so it is probably made up. Daily Mail carried some similar waffle back in January although went into more detail about increased blood pressure. That's something that can easily be checked for me myself and I. I better ditch the cream...

Could easily be the cause. If you google "causes of hunger" there are more possibilities than I thought of. Here's a few possible causes, you can probably quite quickly those that don't apply and still be left with a few possibilities. The last one is interesting. You’re Not Eating Enough...

Welcome to the forum. I've only ever had a cataract operation. The local anesthetic was in the form of a small tablet placed in the corner of the eye and that was just slightly irritating so I didn't feel anything at all when they injected anesthetic or when they replaced the lens. Like Jaylee...

You definitely don't want that!

Depends on what your GP and the anonymous no all are saying. The drug is designed to lower cholesterol and it does that. However, doctors should not be using bullying tactics to force people to take them. My muscle pain, brain fog and poor sleep were in no way imaginary which is what Professor...

Apologies for not noticing. I should have added the video URL to the thread.

Interesting video from a speech recently presented, Keith Vaz and Tom Watson present. I'm pleased that they have taken sufficient interest to want to listen to what's being said.

That would be good, I spent a year working for the Central Bank, I loved it, shame I had to go home. My wife, the WW fan has just applied for Irish citizenship. Keep eyes open for a new post ref: low carb and the government.

They are currently recruiting for data analysts and researchers to join their existing team in New York.

I understand completely when it comes to BG, but can your really tell in one test whether white bread is worse than other varieties when it comes to weight loss? It's easy to forget that we're a clever bunch on this forum, we don't need anyone to tell us how to lose weight, we already know (in...

I didn't think I said they were expert because that they are not. One thing they do instill is discipline because we can't ALL eat exactly what we want, unlike some forum members who seem to be able to just watch out for carbs. Just out of interest I wonder how many people reading this have...

That's hardly surprising, who wants to spend hours, days, weeks, months, years seeing what they can eat and lose weight. If I want my house rewired I don't do an apprenticeship to become a qualified electrician, I "rely" on someone who knows what they're doing. Hopefully that's the likes of WW...

You're a very lucky man indeed and I'm glad that you can laugh, because it's no laughing matter for some of us. I'm more than aware that counting calories isn't everything but I only have to eat slightly more than the pathetic amount of food I presently eat to gain weight. Have some thought for...

My wife has just been telling me that she worked on the patent for the inhaled version and that although it had got through all the approval stages, FDA etc, and although the patients who tried it loved it, uptake was low because doctors were skeptical and also concerned about the long term...

Welcome to the forum, I wish I could offer some help. I operate a barochamber at an MS centre and I've not met anyone in your position, I'll keep my ears and eyes open. Just out of interest, do you have access to an MS centre with a barochamber? Just to say welcome to the forum. May I ask if...

I know 2 people who have received this treatment, one in the UK and one in the US, both self funded and it isn't cheap. Success is not guaranteed although certain types of MS seem to respond better than others. I wish I knew a lot more about MS, I operate a barochamber at an MS centre and I'm...

Just noticed a slight error in the text of that book. It says "Unfortunately insulin cannot be taken by mouth". Oral insulin has been around since 2009 at the latest. In fact my wife, who use to be a patent attorney, worked on some of the patents for the delivery of insulin in the form of a...

Always good to aim for . . . . . . . but if you were type I there is no choice and you would have to inform the DVLA. In my case I was still at that stage where I thought doctors knew best. Even when I was taken off Rosiglitazone (failing liver function), I lost a stone a month for 4 months when...

Slightly smaller than when that picture was taken, mind you I also had to wear padding. I think the costume was intended for someone shorter as the cod piece was level with my navel. Seemed to amuse several ladies for some reason.

Worth Googling, there's several articles including...
