Hi all, I’m new here and a long time lurker. I have a story to tell and i am here for advice. This will be a long one, and I hope someone takes the time to read it. I’m a 29 year old male. Back in 2020 I was in my last year of my enlistment in the marine corps. In December of that year I caught...

Hi all! I'm currently working on topics for my bachelors thesis and wanted to write about the mind-body connection and food allegies/intolerances (but man, are journal articles hard to find for that topic). During my research I found this article published in 2003 in the Journal of Allergy and...

I came across a great book, it has a lot of studies mentioned in it, very scientific, it covers most common pain syndromes, IBS, fibro, Urethral/bladder pain, and much more. I was able to read the first chapter on Fibromyalgia, really good. He mentions a study with a control group and a placebo...
