Shopper experiences

The sudden urges became easier to manage and I had fewer accidents at work. My mouth was dry during the first week, so I kept water nearby and reduced coffee. Constipation became annoying, but it improved after I dealt with it rather than ignoring it.

The warmth was noticeable for the first few applications, especially around my nose. It settled after several days, and the itching became much easier to manage. I still needed moisturiser every day.

The gel felt comfortable and I preferred applying something locally rather than taking a tablet. The improvement was modest, and it worked better when I was rested. I stopped one evening when the skin became noticeably warm and irritated.

I took Januvia with metformin for four months after my HbA1c had crept up. My morning readings became less erratic after a few weeks, and I did not have the shaky low-glucose episodes I had experienced on a previous tablet.

The first change I noticed was less pressure in my legs, although fatigue took longer to improve. My dose was changed after a blood test, and the adjustment was explained clearly. I still needed regular appointments, which became part of my routine.

I had dizziness during the early increases and felt a bit unsteady on stairs for a few days. Once my regimen settled, I was less tired than on my previous anti-seizure medicine. I kept an alarm on my phone because I noticed I was more likely to forget an evening tablet than a morning one.

used one evening dose for three days of constipation: “It worked by the next morning, although I had some stomach cramping before I needed the toilet. I did not take another tablet after it worked.”

I used fenbendazole as part of a plan after a faecal egg count. The course was straightforward, and we repeated the count later rather than guessing whether it had worked. Recording weights was more time-consuming than expected, but it made the plan clearer.

The tight feeling after dinner became less noticeable. I still had trouble when I ate a very large meal, so I stopped expecting it to cover every situation.

I had focal seizures for three months before my treatment settled. The seizures reduced, but I was more tired in the first part of the day and changed my evening routine so I could get enough sleep.
