Any other options for getting MRI, when local GP has said they are not available in this area?
Hi, Long story short, my dad's Parkinson's nurse said he should ask his GP to send him for an MRI of his lumbar spine. His GP this week has said he's very sorry, but that in this geographical area, the GPs are not allowed to send for MRI lumbar spine scans. MRI scans of other body parts they can request, but not lumbar…

Can't seem to relax or get a good night's sleep
I have always had trouble sleeping. I actually sleep with blackouts, eye mask, earplugs, and hate to be disturbed or stirred. I wake up around 4 am but can't sleep further so end up thinking things over and getting up very tired. I feel lethargic during the day. Has anyone had this problem and how did you deal with it?

Costs for more NHS treatment after filling
I recently had some fillings replaced as my dentist advised they were beginning to fail. One was an NHS band 2 and the others white at an extra cost.

Smile Direct Club Ceases Trading
I don't recall anything on this Forum about Smile Club Direct - so I'm hoping most visitors here were too sensible to use them. The shop sites they occupied have all closed suddenly though, and those people under active treatment have basically been left high and dry. The FAQ page that has appeared on their website is…

Dentist conversation - reasonable?

Earplugs
I'm hoping someone reading this has tried the earplugs I've got as well as others & can offer some feedback. So we got ear plugs when our neighbours moved in because they were pretty inconsiderate people for a good while - example being karaoke at like 3-4am & since our house setup means our living rooms & bedrooms join,…

A quick Google churns up quite a lot of these sites and its hard to tell which are legit. (I don't need to repair them,…
