Researchers identify new 'universal' target for antiviral treatment.
As the coronavirus outbreak shows, viruses are a constant threat to humanity. Vaccines are regularly developed and deployed against specific viruses, but that process takes a lot of time, doesn't help everyone who needs protection, and still leaves people exposed to new outbreaks and new viruses. Now

Giving myself a month's holiday from bisphosphonates
I've been on Risedronate less than a year. Because of other pre-existing health issues, worsening, I don't know whether that is because of ageing or because of
bisphosphonate side effects I decided to have a month's holiday to find out. But when my best friend (doesn't have op) told me that she

Dental treatment
I was just about to have a crown put on a molar when the dental surgeries closed because of coronavirus. I spoke by phone to the dentist who said that the temporary crown “should be alright”, but was not very convincing. Does anyone know how long a temporary crown is viable (this crisis could go on

Shaking?
Does anyone else get shaking hands with pred? I have noticed a few times but very specifically when I was trying to reach for water to rinse at the dentist and when I was signing off for my treatment at dentist also. I’m wondering if it’s anything to do with the adrenaline boost because of dental treatment

Statins - More Good News
It is already well known that statins have many benefits. These include the lowering of cholesterol (particularly LDL), stabilisation of existing plaque and reduction of irritation (often a precursor to plaque formation). Today I restarted the course of dental treatment that was put on hold following

Viral Meningitis
This happened exactly one week after finishing my
antiviral
treatment
. I was told that this is a common occurance with meningitis patients. Crazy experience to say the least. I believe that what is most important for me to do now is to keep as healthy as possible.

Dental Work
Hi there, it may appear a silly or basic question so forgive me for asking. I need some dental treatment e.g. tooth extraction, filling and crown probably. Do I need to be cautious with the drugs I am given for pain relief or 'numbing' the mouth etc. I currently take Levothyroxine only. Thanks

Fibromyalgia and Dentistry
I was wrongly diagnosed with fibromyalgia circa May 2015 and it's easy to see why. I ticked every box. However I was unhappy with the diagnosis from the outset and so I made a nuisance of myself and only this last month have found the last piece of the jigsaw. What is really wrong with me is OA and that

"Right To Try" law and Lu-177
President Trump signed a nationwide law into effect that might provide a pathway to treatment with experimental drugs and therapies. The devil is in the details. How long does the process take and how is payment calculated and arranged ? People contemplating foreign travel to get Lu-177 treatment should

Aortic Valve Replacement - The Call Up
I knew the surgeon wanted to operate this month and so I shouldn’t have been surprised when I found a text from my husband saying my surgeons PA had phoned to say there was a slot for my surgery next Tuesday and although he’d accepted on my behalf - he’s good like that 😉 - I still had to call back
