The problem is that codeine causes constipation. So you're just going in a perpetual circle. Constipation pain = take codeine = helps pain= constipation. I had horrendous stomach pain which felt like I was full of gas plus pain in my back between my shoulder blades. I tried rennes and weird...

I was diagnosed with graves in 1992. I had surgery to partially remove it. I instantly became underactive and started on thyroxine until my thyroid grew back (who knew) in 2000. I then had radio iodine at the Christy hospital and within a week or so I was unable to stand or even hold the...

The nurse got me a presciption for 2 cassettes and said I should test at least 4 times a day. She was quite happy to get the prescription but I think that the bosses want her to encourage people to use the cheaper monitor /testing strips. She didn't attempt to force another monitor onto me. I do...
