Quick update for people newly getting letters about COVID-19 treatment eligibility
Last week there was a lot of discussion from people saying they've received letters or emails telling them that they are eligible for free lateral flow tests and/or COVID-19 treatments when they hadn't been eligible before. Just a quick update to say that it was confirmed that more people have been

frustrated with restriction of naproxen
After an unsuccessful spinal fusion surgery in 2001(and 2 more since) I’ve been taking naproxen for about 15 years and get that together with a long list of other pain meds every 3 months,I’ve now been told I can only have 2 month supply of naproxen at a time which is messing up my repeat meds routine

Rage at GP
Sorry all I need to rant. Just back from GP appointment and I am outraged. Explained to him about my extreme levels of pain and his response was that people with "fibro" lead normal lives and that the diagnosis is given when the consultant doesn't know what's wrong with you!!! Said the pain clinic

Covid antivirals - why?
NHS have told me I have a condition that entitles me to antivirals for Covid. But haven't told me what is or which are the qualifying condition(s). GP doesn't know either. I think this is off! Makes me worry, and I'm not easily fazed. Is it an existing condition, if so which, or is it a new condition

Dr appt updates
Saw my pulmonologist on Tues. “Why haven’t you been using your Cpap?” Me: “Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and it’s hard to breathe. I also have had shortness of breath since I had Covid last June after coming home from our trip.” This led her to have me do a 6 minute walking test - my oxygen didn’t

Looking for a Surgeon with Specific Skills
This is a long shot. I’m an Aussie. I had HD brachytherapy for prostate cancer in 2010. In 2016, I was diagnosed with Carcinoma in Situ in the bladder. I’ve had multiple rounds of BCG, and I’m now heading towards a radical cystectomy. My urologist is nervous about the risk of damage to the rectum
