Measles
Has anyone else had the measles? When I was about 8 I had the measles as I wasn't vaccinated. A Doctor had diagnosed me with the measles when I was a baby so my notes said I didn't need to be vaccinated. Strangely, my Gran said it wasn't the measles, but the Doctors still refused to vaccinate me and

How measles causes the body to ‘forget’ past infections by other microbes.
One of the most contagious human pathogens, the measles virus is dangerous enough by itself, with sometimes-fatal complications including pneumonia and brain inflammation. Two detailed studies of blood from unvaccinated Dutch children who contracted measles now reveal how such infections can also compromise

From the start consultant warned that azathioprine has some severe side effects, including a higher risk of skin cancer, and

Basal cell cancers on scalp
Hello everyone. My mum, 87 has recurrent BCCs on her scalp as a result of taking MXT for RA. Due to ongoing recurrence, referral to Maxillofacial surgeons advised to do a wider excision as a day case to a single area with associated skin graft. Mum had her clips out of the area a week ago yesterday and

W9R2 First run since Cellulitis
I posted a month ago about feeling bad after W9R1 only to find out I had cellulitis. In the end I had 3 bags of IV antibiotics that day followed by 5 days of 1 bag a day, top off with 7 days of 2 different tablet antibiotics. Needless to say my leg swelled up like an elephant's and it taken until yesterday

Urethral Strictures...TURP/PCa/Proton
Does anyone in our group have a experience with recurring urethral strictures which are a result of a TURP last August and proton beam radiation in the winter? I am getting these strictures now for third time since this all began. For past 4 months I have used catheter once a week for dilation purposes

incontinence 1 year after TURP
Just updating, I've still got incontinence 13 months after TURP. Slowed down a little but still there. Still get painful spasms. Anyone with a suggestion? Kegels aren't cutting it.

Impetigo
Hi everyone, I am still on Pred for PMR and should be meeting someone tomorrow who has been diagnosed with Impetigo. Would it be advisable to give them a wide berth. Thank you, Jenny x
