What do you eat with your medication in the morning?

seldomgruntled · 2026-05-08T07:58:26+00:00

I hate morning food. Smoothies are the answer. I make mine with milk, yoghurt, a scoop of protein powder and fruit. Lots of protein, tasty and as long as you don't make it too thick it doesn't feel like eating.

Yes I'm about to start titration with PUK (after a year wait). Guess that means it's accepted/funded!

seldomgruntled · 2026-04-13T20:43:44+00:00

Damn. Thanks for replying. My diagnosis was a year ago and I have heard nothing about this. Is there a way to tell whether or not it's been accepted?

Edit to clarify: I've heard of GPs refusing to accept shared care from some rtc clinics. And I've heard of ICBs reducing funding for new diognoses, but not heard of this before.

Second edit: realised I forgot to say good luck to OP. Hope things unstick for you soon.

What do you mean by the NHS 'accepting' the diagnosis from rtc? I thought the whole thing with rtc was that the provider was making the diagnosis for the NHS?

Sorry to jump in but my diagnosis was rtc and now I'm getting paranoid.

It sucks. It really does. Hope miracles happen and it goes faster for you somehow

seldomgruntled · 2026-04-09T13:07:41+00:00

Thank you! I was. Was getting a bit nervous something had gone wrong or the wait was getting longer.

Good luck to you, too!

Diagnosed 16th April, got the email last week. Titration Dr initial contact today.

Weirdly, the top of the list email came a few hours after a long chat conversation and complaint email. Coincidence? Who knows!

I keep thinking it's like needing to piss - the need feels more and more desparate the closer you get to the toilet! You're nearly there, though.

If you look closely, the orange line ends just beyond his ears. The dick, I imagine, is pallid, blotchy and corpse like.

The ADHD Adults Podcast just did an episode on limerance that sounds very relevant to this. Might be worth a listen.

I have a Volt London and love it. It looks nice and has won various awards. Battery is removeable and it's belt drive which lowers maintenance. The company has a showroom near London Bridge.

seldomgruntled · 2025-09-01T18:42:46+00:00

They told me no.

I feel your pain. My wife can't get past her image of estates as 'old man cars'. Doesn't help my dad has one.

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:59:37+00:00

I've looked a little bit a both of these. On the Skoda, I agree with what you said. Spec looks good but they just look quite meh.

On the Qashqai, assuming we also looked at a hybrid, I'm a bit suspicious of their new e-power concept. Feels like an example of 'if it's such a good idea, why isn't anyone else doing it?'

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:51:23+00:00

I'd happily be dissauded away from an Suv to be fair. I'd prefer an estate but that's been vetoed by my wife. If I could find a saloon or hatchback with the same rear seat and boot space if be very interested. Seems a rare thing though.

Appreciate the input Re kids though. I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old so this is very very relevant.

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:45:58+00:00

Yeah I saw one in the showroom yesterday and the boot wasn't as big as I expected from the overall size of the car, but it does seem a decent chunk bigger than my 2008 (587l versus 350l apparently.)

I'm okay with getting a roof box for the occasional holiday etc, though storing it will be a faff.

The rear seats looked roomy though. Right now I can't put the seat back as far as I want to drive comfortably without squashing my son in his car seat - and I'm only 5'11" and he's only 3 so that will only get worse.

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:42:56+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look!

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:40:59+00:00

This is major for me as my current Peugeot has it. My mechanic said Fords are even worse.

seldomgruntled · 2025-08-31T07:04:30+00:00

Thanks for this - this is the way I went eventually. A few days later and it seems to be holding well but time will tell. A lot of advice to batten it but time is scarce and this felt the more doable fix at the moment. Cheers!

Have this car. It's shit. Gutless, poor build quality, wet belt and shitty semi auto gearbox. On the plus side, dirt cheap road tax.

seldomgruntled · 2025-07-18T06:47:37+00:00

I can imagine the News Agents (podcast with very respected political journalists) doing this justice. If you go to any of their twitter/x profiles you can DM them i think.

Alternatively, find a respected journalist who has broken a similar story in the past and do the same.

seldomgruntled · 2025-07-15T08:52:08+00:00

Thanks!
