For Squad, Advice...
122 Answers
I've just been prescribed Nitrofurantoin for a water infection from the walk in centre, and have just noticed that it says to be careful if you are Vit B deficient. I'm b12 deficient (under control), will this matter? I've had one already.
btw will update you on bp med shortly, waiting to get results!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.@creamegg Isn't it a bit dangerous taking medical advice from some random person on a forum? Would it not be better to call the NHS helpline to get proper medical advice? Just a thought because I would never take medical advice from anyone other than someone I definitely knew to be a trained medical health professional.
@Ummmm and NoMercy. So his credentials have been checked out by whom? How? I thought AB was anonymous? I could say I was a GP/Gyno/ Obstetrician whatever and start giving out advice to people, so would I have to post up my Qualifications or give my Uni details? No disrespect to Squad but anyone can be anyone on a Forum as its so easy to do a Wiki search and sound like you know what you are doing. I have followed Squads posts and if I had posted about a health issue and he suggested Ibuprofen to me I would probably be severely ill if not dead by now . This was not a malicious post just a heads up to the OP that perhaps they should not take as gospel something suggested on a Forum. A qualified medic (retired or otherwise) would also be very reticent about handing out medical advice without seeing a patient.
JaneDoe2,
I'd have to refer you to paragraphs 2 and 3 in 'The Terms'.

@eccles -yes a medic ,not someone on a Forum , that's the problem. People don't always give full information when expecting diagnosis on a Forum. The Ibuprofen is perhaps a bad example as most people know if they are allergic or have bad reactions but some people may be given advice that is contra-indicative to their current meds., Sometimes a Internet search pulls up more problems that solutions.
