Statins with ckd4?
I've been advised to take 20mg of statins but I am worried about the effect on my kidneys (CKD 4). Has anyone taken them? I know that my renal team wouldn't let me have them if I was in any danger and I understand that I am more at risk for heart failure or attack but would like your experiences with

Anyone else been called for a Pneumonia Vaccine?
I'm having mine this afternoon - I was stunned when I got the call from my GP's Surgery yesterday, as I don't fall into the 'normal' pneumonia vaccine criteria, even more stunned when they said my appointment was today. I'm 59, have never had any issues with my lungs, and don't smoke. I've never had

18 month old with an asthma cough
My child is 18 months and has already been diagnosed with asthma. His cough has started again and is worse at night. We are giving him his inhaler every 2-3 hours and also his brown one too. Does anyone have any tips on asthma coughs?

Result Covid 19 positive.
Dear all, I received my result this morning from yesterday’s PCR Covid test which has come back positive. I had pneumonia last February 2020 and was very unwell until April 2020. Tests for Covid 19 we’re not being done at this early stage as it was a new virus that we were all just hearing about.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa to lungs, will I need time off work to recover?
Hi Folks, I’ve been coughing hard for two months and had multiple antibiotics, steroids antihistamines, even asthma inhalers. No improvement. Last week I had bloods, Xray for pneumonia and sputum test. The sputum test was a very firm white decent chunk of something. (Sorry). Doctor rang me late yesterday

We should treat COVID like norovirus – not the flu
Because COVID symptoms – fever, cough, aches – are similar to flu symptoms, it is tempting to compare the two. Indeed, the UK’s new health secretary, Sajid Javid, recently said: “We are going to have to learn to accept the existence of Covid and find ways to cope with it – just as we already do with

Inside the lungs, a new hope for protection against flu damage
New experimental data pinpoints a molecular component responsible for modulating the damage the flu can wreck on the lungs. The molecule, known as DAF, increases disease severity in mice upon infection with Influenza A virus, the most prevalent cause of the seasonal flu. Understanding this novel virulence
