when I suffered insomnia (3-4hrs Max a night, for years) the only thing that worked for me was melatonin.
You can get the off the shelf up to 5/6mg and that should help.. but as mentioned don’t take it too late at night.

I'll check it out when I'm at the chemist next, cheers.

I'm just going to post this now. Its something I've struggled with my entire life. And im just so ******* sick of it being some big secret I need to be ashamed about. Ill still have to use a spoiler tho. Dont click into this if you dont particularly like female parts.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Vaginismus - Wikipedia While I know this isnt exactly life threatening or cancer- so things could be worse- I know that this is basically the underlying cause of my depression. It has caused me nothing but pain, anger, guilt, frustration, shame... basically every negative emotion you can ever think of under the sun. there is nothing positive from this, at all. I think perhaps its pretty much the reason why I wont really go out and try to meet a guy. Because all I keep telling myself over and over in my head is that I'd be just a burden. Sometimes I get extremely down about it and think of doing really dumb things- like... idk hurting myself. But then its like just a fantasy, i could never do that for real. Ok so thats it. Im gonna go off and have a sook now. Please no jokes- i can cop sh*t but not about this, no way.

Posting this is very courageous when it's caused you so much grief. But it's not something you should be ashamed of, and you should remember that it doesn't come close to defining who you are.

Oh yeah I know. Its not my ****ing fault (strange thing is i was never abused etc, whatever which can be common in sufferers). And the medical "industry" whatever you wanna call it know very little about it and they're not much help tbh.

No meds, have been to the doctor once in the last 15 years for a broken hand (bar emergency for other footy related broken bones)

Had one friend went to the Dr with a stomach ache they helicoptered him to Brizzy and he died in 3 days, cancer everywhere
Had another friend, the snake catcher went to the doc with a bit of pain in the guts they said bowel cancer , six weeks, he died in 6 weeks ,survived catching taipans but not cancer
Friends father(and my very good friend) had back pain they said prostates spread to the bones he died in 6 weeks

If it goes well no more migraines

I'm the happiest person in the waiting room

 

[74561347]

Also everyone in here smells awful. I think people have gotten used to not showering and using deodorant being at home during covid

ALL the very best. Hope it works.

of course a reminder for those of the appropriate age:

when the Govt sends you a poo test for your birthday make sure you use it.

saves life, including mine.

I had a long-term girlfriend with this. It must be very frustrating that, like you said, there isn't much that's been developed to help with it. I think it's fairly common.

Iirc i read somewhere it's something like 7%

 

[James Colorado]

magic_johnson! How's the recovery? Hope you're well

 

[Shell]

74561347 yeah did the treatment go well?

 

[74561347]

It's like everything has been turned up to 11.

They aren't gone, it can take up to a month to have full effect and I'll probably need another, but at this point im as rad as MTV in 1992

Oh no, it's all great things. It's the best stuff I've ever had.

MTV in 1992 was do the bartman rad. It's a good thing.

It's all flowers for Algernon over here right now

Any of you ever had appendicitis and had it removed?

Currently sitting next to my partners hospital bed as she came out of theatre an hour ago and isn’t reacting well to the anaesthetic, I’m the same though and can’t stop vomiting/nausea after surgery. Supposedly post-operation there’s a 5 step process to follow but majority of the time they only do 3 steps, however if you know you don’t react well you have to request the 5 steps - can anyone shed some light on this?
