Took them for less than a week and could almost not walk my legs ached so much so stopped taking them and it cleared up in about three weeks thankfully.

Now we cant afford to run the tumble drier I’m struggling to get my washing dry. i’ve put an airer up but it’s making the bedroom feel damp and I am already wiping mould off the wall. I can’t see this ending well at all my tumble drier was brilliant.

Twister, get a dehumidifier if you can. They are very cheap to run and easy to maintain. Washing takes less time to dry due to it reducing humidity, and rooms are quicker to heat up too.

I agree with PK. Google for uses of any water you collect (can’t drink it though), especially if you’re on a meter.

This is what we did last winter and will continue .

I have been on statins for over 20 years with no side effects. I am 84 and still do lot of walking. My brother died at 63 from a massive heart attack and my sister and I were advised to go on statins due to a family history of high cholesterol. My sister is 89 and lives alone.

I suppose it’s like most medication, Scot…works for most of us, but not all. I’m not on statins, but I’m glad there are solutions out there should we need them.

Medication is never a “one size fits all”. What suits one person may have an adverse effect on another. Some people can take Tramadol for pain but I had an adverse reaction and was very ill.

Publication of these videos should have more control as many people could be misguided by so called advice that goes against what their body actually may need to survive.

P.S 82 been on Statins for 20 years and still going strong.
