    It can blast its way through* any respiratory illness if the stock you use is good enough quality.

    *relieve the symptoms of in some circumstances, in my experience.

    Are you buying a high quality stock or boiling up a chicken carcass?

    Nursery have been messaging for weeks about having cases of chicken pox, my daughter woke up with a few spots this morning, pretty sure that’s what it is. Half term so I’m off so doesn’t really matter but I’d planned a pub trip tomorrow afternoon with Baz and The Reid that I can’t go to if she’s off nursery with spots.
    Taking bets on how many days it is until I have it. Hearing about it from @Baz the other week, I can’t say I’m thrilled by the prospect.

    Have we lost Baz to WoW, or have phonics/randrew driven him off the cliff edge?

    Did you not have it as a kid? It's rough as an adult.

    Nope, and after years of working with kids, I just assumed I have some sort of natural immunity to it. I guess we will find out if that's true in the next few days. Hope spots have gone a little like blisters, which, I am told means it's more than likely the pox

    Chicken Pox was brutal for my youngest, but the older one coped okay, a bit of itchiness. The ballache of them being off nursery was a nightmare as well.

    Thankfully it’s fell in half term so I’m off anyways. So far you wouldn’t know she’s ill. She told me her spots were itchy this morning but hasn’t been itching or mentioned them since. She’s currently dressed up as mini mouse, eating crisps and has just asked we watch ‘just the songs’ from Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a welcome rest bite from playing with her Bluey house

    It's somewhat intermittent but this is still going on. The main thing I have deduced is that caffeine makes it significantly worse. Just had my first coffee in a week and it's cranked it way up.

    lol at this study coming out and saying that the long term health implications of vaping are seriously bad. Who'd have thought? An excellent selection method for mass extermination.

    One obvious problem as soon as it became a thing was people just switched to vaping constantly instead of smoking at intervals, so no surprise that is terrible for the lungs.

    Our Government launching their own study on the back of MMU's findings is a precursor to that I would think. I wonder if they will go as far as banning flavours, which I would be completely fine with as it'll cut off the obnoxious candy floss crowd at their knees.

    Vaping should probably be a prescription only thing to help people get off the cigs. The kid focused flavours are obviously insane, but people want their FREEDOMZ so good luck putting the genie back in the bottle.

    It has been around since 2017 and went through the same approval process any other drug goes through. I'm not saying that it is impossible that we find some bad side effects in the future, but this is nothing like smoking or vaping or drinking alcohol.

    The first drug in the class (exanatide) has been approved since 2005. It's not as effective as the newer ones but likely to have similar long term side effects profiles.

    That's gone very quiet. When they proudly confirmed the beginning of the end for disposables a little while ago, they completely omitted the flavour ban, which was previously on equal billing to the disposables ban when it was all initially announced a year previous. So I'm inferring from that that it's not happening anytime soon.

    Got norovirus, nearly shat myself whilst spewing so did the switcheroo as I thought it would be better to clean up sick than watery black shit but I was quite impressed how I heaved in my mouth and took it back down again. Fuck yeah.

    Two weeks ago, I woke up with some sort of nerve hip pain. After a few days it moved towards my crotch. Putting my shoes on and getting in the car is torture. Took last week off exercise but it hasn't really gotten any better. I'm planning to go back to exercise this week (with some painkillers), see how it goes. Might have to go to the doctor.

    Pissed about for a couple months before going private. Appointment within a week, diagnosed in two, prescription should be in hand this week.

    I went with one of the more reputable sounding private clinics, about 800 quid so far before medication costs, but the assessment still felt like a fairly surface level box-checking exercise. I'm not too fussed, I just want the drugs really, but I am a little worried the NHS will lol me out the door when I ask them to take on the diagnosis.

    Exercise does not make it worse, but the pain is still there.

    Do I go to a regular doctor first, straight to a physical therapist, or should I be looking at some other specialist? @randomlegend

    I can sell you a gasket if that would help, or a liquid gasket maker, if your hip isn't the exact shape of a Case International front gear cover.
