I'm sure this has been discussed previously, but I haven't found a thread devoted to this subject. I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to regular CVS stores since some of my medication isn't covered by health insurance. Yes, those are non-prescription drugs and I've been thinking about some sort of a cheaper alternative like online drug stores. I've heard that Canadian ones are a lot cheaper than US-based. And judging by the news about their ...

I'll start by saying, yes I know this isn't exactly THE forum for this kinda question, but frankly, real forums with decent traffic are running short these days.
I know there's information on this on the internet but reading a few bullet points doesn't exactly paint a full picture of a process that is said to take 2-3+ years.
Can anyone with experience please detail the process from beginning to completion. Thank you (in advance). ...

Hi,
I'm in my 30's. I have arthritis, IBD, hypothyroidism, bipolar, and other things.
In the last 4 months I have put on soooo much weight. I do probably eat too much, but my eating habits haven't changed and I dont eat that much to be putting on so much weight. Its getting worse and worse and I dont know why or how to stop it. I am on a lot of medications although none ...

HI, I'd like to talk about something I've been going through for a while and is a major bother.

As most people today, people tend to become less active as they spend more time in couches or in a computer in their daily jobs. Because of stuff like that, I gained two issues that bother me quite a lot.

The first is hemorroids. This is kinda an old problem and they sometimes bleed and make ...

My brother has these symptoms similar to ADHD since our mother died. Is this some kind of disorder that can be triggered by any recent traumatic event?

I mostly have posted in the ASPD section although I'm not diagnosed with any personality disorder, but when posting there I bring up my issue with extreme misogyny. However, one previous therapist suspected BPD, but I doubt that diagnosis is true. No official diagnosis of any kind, so technically on paper I'm a mentally healthy adult.

I can't seem to find any medical literature that connects misogyny with any illness. I'm gonna assume it's merely ...

When you let positive energy into your life, you can improve every aspect of your day from your relationships with people to your approach to problems. But many people don’t realize the varied sources of negative energy that make up their daily life.

To identify what makes you feel unhappy, keep a small notepad on you and write down negative things as you notice them. These can range from a messy house, watching too much ...

I figure this forum would understand this in some way, I’m just lost as to where to post this so I figure this is the sub forum that was most associated with this. Basically, since I’ve had the ability to remember things, I’ve been rocking backwards and forwards to music. I’ve been doing this virtually uncontrollably (in the sense it just feels great to do and I can’t go a day without thinking about it) ...

I had a complete hysterectomy 12 years ago--no cervix, ovaries, or uterus. So why does my dr insist I have a gyno appt? All the gyno does is ask about my sex life which, if it's good with me, then why does it matter? If I had issues I would speak up. Do I really need to keep up with this? I'm 61 years old and want to stop going.

hi, i was wondering if anyone has experimented or used anti parasites and / or colon cleansers. i believe i have been suffering a while from parasites and / or unhealthy colon, and i was hoping to purchase something off label / non prescribed to possibly help with the discomfort i regularly experience.

i have read a lot on parasites, what types there are, and what problems they can cause, and i relate to the ...
