Not seen that one before - good spot!

Anybody else here on stuff like beta blockers, statins, blood thinners, ACE inhibitors, and all that malarkey?

They seem to be playing merry hell with my bowels, usually when I least expect it. Is that standard procedure? Does it become less unpredictable over time? Can anybody recommend a good dry cleaner? (I suspect I might need one soon if things carry on like this.)

I would ask a medical professional, but I prefer to leave them to deal with those who have serious problems. Therefore, the floor is open to the medical wisdom of CUK

i have to take them as a result of a heart attack but I have (even after the Clopidogrel was withdrawn) remained firm and maintained a sold consistency and colour - regular as well

I concur with RichardCranium: homebrew makes the ablutions more tolerable. No more pile-bursting straining while you give birth to a bowl breaking brick with the density of Osmium. Sideways.

Statins can give you muscle ache at high doses (> 60mg) - grapefruits not recommended.

Oh dear.

I'm sure NickFitz was seeking sympathy, rather than explosive belly-laughs --> --> -->

Have a NF (and I promise not to squeeze too tight!)

A clove of garlic every day will solve ALL your problems.

I remember back in 1984, I had a particularly bad cold. Two weeks of taking garlic cloves and amazingly my cold had gone.

If thats not evidence enough, In 1992, whilst sitting my university finals, I was suffering from particularly bad exam stress. I remembered the garlic wonder cure and started taking it again. Roll forward two months and hey presto, my exam stress had completely disappeared.

There are those who argue for a return of National Service in the expectation that a stint in the Army will make men from boys, put the troublesome onto the path of the straight and narrow and generally 'sort one out'.EO, you've never really recovered from your time in the Forces, have you?

Nick,

I've got no idea what you're on. I'm on all sorts of stuff which all have pretty tulip side effects.

To combat the gastric saide effects and ensure I don't spend all day in the dry cleaners I was prescribed a proton pump inhibitor, specifically Omeprazole. Works for me. It's commonly used to combat gastric side effects, but for quite a few people it doesn't work. Of course it has its own side effects in some users which can be troublesome.

Omeprazole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A wonderful drug, I used to get fist-clenching pain gastro problems at night, this has sorted it out although I need to lose more weight as gastro problems are normally weight related.
