Jenni Murray New weight loss drug has worked wonders for my back pain LAST week my son came with me to central London for a work meeting. As I made my way up a flight of stairs he stopped, looked at me and said: ‘You know, you’re moving so much better than you have been. What’s changed?’ DR MAX PEMBERTON Why looking at this picture of Meghan fills me with such sadness LOOKING at pictures of Prince Harry on his recent solo trip to Lesotho, I couldn’t help but feel wistful. The old Harry - the one the public fell in love with - seemed to be back. Jenni Murray Tell anxious students the truth: life is hard, so get on with it DURING my first term at Hull University, I was very nervous of suddenly being away from home, all alone, with no friends and a completely new way of being taught. Seminars were terrifying. Fred Kelly The truth is it’s social media that’s teaching men to hate women – and women to fear men I HAD the pleasure of sitting next to Clara Gaspar in the Daily Mail’s newsroom for the best part of a year. DR MAX PEMBERTON Real reason so many women are off sick? GPs who won’t give out HRT NIGHT sweats, mood swings, sleep problems, weight gain, hot flushes, headaches, palpitations and joint symptoms. These are just some of the debilitating symptoms women experience when going through the menopause. DR MAX PEMBERTON My ten tips to make sure your male GP takes you seriously I WANT you to imagine someone having a heart attack. Picture the scene: they are in the street and suddenly grip their chest and sink to the floor. They’re overweight, maybe smoke and drink too much, and don’t take proper care of their health. Jenni Murray I met Fayed, Savile and Rolf – they all made my flesh creep IT was while working for BBC’s Newsnight that I first met Mohamed Al Fayed. The year was 1985 and he’d become the talk of the town after buying two great British institutions - the Dorchester Hotel and Harrods. DR MAX PEMBERTON Why under 18s should be banned from using social media IF I told you I’d developed a product that, although it had some uses, was linked to increased anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm and a range of other behavioural and emotional problems, you’d think twice about using it, wouldn’t you? Jenni Murray Losing my best friend hurt more than losing my parents THE message that flashed up on my iPad this morning felt like a punch to the stomach. It was a reminder from Facebook that it was my best friend’s birthday, urging me to send her good wishes. I burst into tears. DR MAX PEMBERTON Worried about your drinking? Ask yourself these four key questions... WITH summer slowly fading and autumn just around the corner, I wonder how many of us are worried about how much we drank over the past few months? Perhaps you’re counting down the days before you partake in Sober October? Clare Foges Minutes of terror that mean I’d AirTag my children IT WAS without doubt the worst half an hour of my life. My husband and I had taken our three young children (then four, three and one) for a pre-Easter break in a large resort on the south coast of Portugal. DR MAX PEMBERTON Johnny Depp is right: a good smile really CAN change your life... JOHNNY Depp seemed to have a lot to smile about while on holiday last week in the Bahamas, not least because of a sparkling new set of gnashers. In a clip posted to social media by a bartender on the island, the actor grins broadly - and gleamingly - leading fans to point out his dental transformation. Jenni Murray Don’t mess with cancer. Elle’s choice was unwise and unsafe I’M NOT at all surprised the stunningly beautiful Australian model, Elle Macpherson, kept her diagnosis of breast cancer a secret for seven years. DR MAX PEMBERTON I truly loathe smoking, but it’s crazy to claim banning it outside will help the NHS THERE are many things that have an impact on health that mean people have a poor quality of life or their lives are cut tragically short. I’m going to stick my neck out and say that smoking in a pub garden is not one of these. Jenni Murray My flat was on the 20th floor, the fire started on the first... WHEN I was 27 and about to start a new job in regional television in Southampton, I lived for a while in a tiny flat on the 20th floor of a new tower block. I loved it. I had a balcony and wonderful views across the city. It never occurred to me to think of the potential dangers.
