Recently had a nosey and it seems you can get melatonin from Boots Online Doctor once you do the online consultation- I’m just wondering if anyone has used this to get melatonin and what your experience was? (I was diagnosed privately three years ago but I haven’t paid my subscription for two years and never got Shared Care 🥲)
I’m up north- thoughts and prayers to those in London. I’m okay atm but the dagger that lives behind my right eye is threatening to do some damage 😅 glad I stocked up on Triptans pre heatwave
Ten years ago I had a root canal done on my upper molar (the one in front of a wisdom tooth, I think it’s the 8?). Sadly two years ago that started to fail and so I had the root canal redone last year. The specialist who did the treatment recommend in then get a crown rather than a filling to reduce the risk of it failing again. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication in regards to the treatment plan- I’m in the uk and I think the specialist has assumed I was usually an NHS patient who had elected to get the root canal redone privately. I am 100% a private patient. This means unfortunately I can’t afford the crown as it is over twice as much as I was initially estimated (I am still paying off the root canal on finance). I feel so upset, I almost wish I’d just had the tooth removed if I had known this would be the full cost.
The specialist has told me I only have six months to have the crown put on, the initial procedure was done late December. Do I really only have that long? Should I just have a filling put on instead of a crown and accept it might just fail again? I do have savings but this will pretty much wipe out my whole emergency fund.

Of text, I’ve typed this on mobile so it may have gotten rid of the line breaks).
Hi all,
I’ve recently applied for a new job as my current job requires on call (sadly a non negotiable atm) and it isnt meeting my current financial needs (there are a lot of other reasons, but these are the two big ones). The thing is, I actually really like my current job- I love my team, most of the clients are great and we practice a good standard of medicine. But I feel I need to find what’s out there. I currently have a phone interview for a new hospital next week, but at what point should I mention it to my current employer? I’ve never really complained about anything so I don’t want everyone to feel blindsided. My current job is my second job- leaving my first job was easy because I was blatantly unhappy so no one was surprised when I handed my notice in 😂
Hi all, I’m training for a 25k trail race in June! Being trail I’m expecting sections to be quite exposed to the sun. I am incredibly pale, I’m talking Victorian child with rickets pale. Even if I work on a base tan I burn crazy easily. I’ve used Reimanns P20 factor 50 sunscreen for years and it works well but I don’t think there’s a sunscreen in the world that will stop me burning when I’m out in the sun for 3+ hours. Does anyone have any recommendations for a UV shirt? I found a couple on the decathlon website but they seemed to be designed for surfing so I’m not sure how breathable they would be
