Hi, I am worried about the eating habits of my father and wondered what advice you could give me to help him lead a more healthy lifestyle. He is 58 and single. He cooks for himself and rarely goes to much trouble. He has coeliac disease so is limited on what he can eat so plays it safe most days. F...

Thank you for your reply. She definitely doesn't over eat. I spend quite a lot of time with her and it worries most of the family how little she manages to eat some days. I will suggest a food diary to her though, thank you. She cannot manage to do much housework although she cooks and washes up for...

Hi, I am asking this question on behalf of my grandmother. She is 84 and over the last 3-4 years has undergone a triple heart bypass and a hip replacement. She still suffers with arthritis in her knees and other hip. Her breathing is also often laboured and she regularly has a cough. She is around 1...

Good luck, i hope you lose your added weight quickly. Please don't be disheartened if it takes you a long time like it has with me. You will get there. Looking back the injection was too good to be true, it was bound to have a negative impact! Too convenient and easy!

It also seems to affect my asthma. My asthma is very mild b...

Hi, When i was 18 i went travelling for a couple of months. I figured rather than take pills with me i would swap to depo. I spoke to my doctor who agreed and i started it a while before i left so i could have a couple of shots before leaving to make sure everything was ok. Before taking depo i was ...

Hi,

I have heard that eucalyptus can help relieve the symptoms of asthma, is this true and if so how would this be done? I am assuming it would be like olbus oil and put a few drops on a tissue or in hot water and inhale the steam.

I like the idea of natural remedies to help where possible.

Thanks

Hi Thanks for asking about my sleep, it is generally better although i still have a couple of nights a week usually where i have trouble. Health problems have been the problem recently though so i am hoping that if i can get that sorted then my sleep will also improve. I brought the white chestnut s...

Hi Mark,

What are you hoping to do with the results of this survey? I would find it easier to say what i do like as i am so fussy with exercise lol
