Antiviral treatment

Hi, has anyone tried to get hold of antiviral treatment lately after a positive test? I tested positive on Wednesday and rang 111, but have been passed from pillar to post, with no call yet from the actual antiviral team.

The NHS website seemed to say that if you're eligible to have antiviral treatment for COVID (yes, we are) then you can access free tests. Am I getting this completely wrong?

treatment .. neither of us could move so we missed out on that for him Fluids are going in but so far no food Just looking for the best ideas His consultant has cancelled his app next week due to this and said shell ring him but not a lot else can be done as staff are off sick also Appreciate any

I wonder if we still have to request Antiviral treatment through 111 or GP. I have ET JAK2 Pos.

Doing well then got knocked back with covid again, had antiviral treatment this time. Started back on day 1 of couch to 5km today 😊 not too breathless 😊😊

Just wondering what people have been advised re timing of restarting biologics after Covid infection and Antiviral treatment? Is it the usual post infection rule of “when you feel better”? (I know I should ask my Rheumy team but it can take up to a week to get a response on Helpline) 🤣

Wonderful news from the rheumatologist. My latest bone density scan 2 weeks ago in Perth showed that I have improved, going back from full blown osteoporosis 8 years ago to osteopenia, which is like part way between normal/healthy bone density and full osteoporosis. So the strong bone regrowth drugs

Hello I haven’t posted on here before as I am trying to see if I have registered properly. I have osteoporosis in a lot of pain. I have shrunk in height and become stooped as I had back fractures, the dexa scan was unclear. Currently waiting for dental treatment before the infusion.

I was unable to continue on Alendronic tablets so was switched to annual infusions. The regime was one infusion per year over three years and my last one was on 20/8/21. I was unaware that this treatment comprises certain dental treatments, I know of extractions but uncertain if it applies to anything

Coming up to my 2 year anniversary on prednisolone and I seem worse than ever. On 6 mg daily atm. A lot has gone on in the last few months, a 3 week trip to Mexico in November and woke up on the day of the flight out, barely able to move, having had a few good months until then. Bunged my dose up

We will see....but if it performs well, man, it's another proof of the concept. For example, check a company called InSilico and you will see how many big pharma companies are using their AI/ML services to develop their own solutions... Anyway...a clinical trial is soon to begin evaluating Pocenbrodib

I appreciate this may be trivial in the face of other posts on here but I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have. I take statins & Clopidogrel following a slight stroke 10 years ago. My dentists have advised I should keep taking both ahead of having 2 teeth out. They will apply stitches at the removal

Hello, I purchased this white paper, but not sure I can share online. If you send me a message, I'll forward you the PDF. Here is the summary online: https://acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cncr.35559 After reading this paper, I'm going to take a more aggressive approach to my cardiac

I am a carer for someone on oxygen 24/7.She has not been to the dentist for some time now and has a couple of possibly broken teeth. I have tried one dentist who advises that she would have to come off oxygen for treatment. She could for a maximum of 20 minutes but if the treatment was to be longer,

Hi looking for advice. I am currently waiting on confirmed diagnosis of anca vasculitis but based on my symptoms and anti-mpo test it looks like I have it. I am on prednisolone but also rivaroxiban as I had a pulmonary embolism recently. I have had a bad reaction to iron infusion that caused calcium

I was due to have a carbon laser treatment to remove sun damage but the practitioner won’t go ahead as I on clopidogrel and wants a letter from my GP. I don’t think it’s appropriate to ask a busy GP and beautician question. Does anyone here know whether this treatment shouldn’t go ahead? I did think

I will be having cataract surgery 8 th September and I have a dental appointment 2 weeks later for a filling will that be OK or do I need to put dental treatment back.

I am currently tapering 6mg predisolone and taking 17 1/2mg Methotrexate . All is well and no problems. I am due to have a dental crown fitted. The dentist says it’s OK as he won’t be exposing the gum area where infection is possible. So I’m checking with you wonderful people that I can still take

Hello all. I have to have a back molar extracted tomorrow and apparently there is a non-emerged wisdom tooth underneath. I don't know if the dentist plans to remove the wisdom tooth or not. I think the molar will come out fairy easily (touch wood). Do you think I need to increase pred today? I am just
