Sorry this is long So I've had a rough summer. Initially really tired in evenings, rang the GP...was told at 46 I'm probably menopausal and what do I expect. A week later my leg swole. I went in said I thought cellulitis, different GP thought more likely clot so scans and anti clot stuff and a basic

Dentist and antibiotics?
Hi - I have a question regarding dentist/hygienist and the need to take antibiotics afterwards (newly diagnosed with ET/JAK2 and still bringing down platelets with Hydroxy). My haematology team recommend antibiotics after any major work, and for the dentist/hygienist not to use too much pressure. The

Does asthma severity tend to reflect that of sinuses?
I wasn’t sure where to post this but please tell me if it’s out of place as I’l move it. Basically I’ve had chronic sinusitis with polyps for over a decade. It is more chronic inflammation that’s the issue, with meds the polyps are only small/secondary to the inflammation. I don’t have asthma but

pneumonia vaccination
I have been told to get my pneumonia jab , i’m not worried about sore arm, but i’m just a bit concerned i might feel poorly after. I didn’t feel poorly after my flu jab or covid booster. Any reassurance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Why does the testicles suddenly experience pain?
Firstly, testicular pain may be caused by minor injuries or infections, such as mild impact, friction, or epididymitis (an inflammation often caused by
bacterial
infections
).

Any advice or thoughts appreciated! Trying to keep cirrhosis in check despite hospitalization for very serious pneumonia
Hello all. I was diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis a year and a half ago. Had stopped drinking a few months before, but the damage was done. I was in terrible shape but with a great doctor and 100% commitment to my nutrition and lifestyle was compensated and on minimum maintenance follow up. I was

Nasal / Sinus problems and Bad Smell?
I just wanted to ask about this, as had pain in the nose/cold only on the right side, (which has since gone) all round the eyes, and top of the nose, which I am guessing is Sinusitis? The odd thing is, is that all I can smell is what can only be described as 'cow sh*t' whenever I blow my nose, or sometimes

Pneumonia vaccine
Has anyone over 65 received the Pneumonia vaccine-Prevnar 20? I have ET Jak2+ and it was suggested by my GP. I read somewhere that we have to be careful with vaccines. Thank you,

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
For all you folks who have Lupus, please be careful of this ‘100’ day cough that is going around at the moment, as this is what caused me to end up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Lupus in February 2022. I’ve had a rough ride for the past few years, ending up in hospital every year for one thing

cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

Pneumonia Vaccine
I was talking to a very friendly Doctors wife yesterday who works on his admin and we talked about the amount of people suffering and in some cases hospitalised with pneumonia. She said that the vaccine I was given about 10yrs ago is now not considered to be sufficient protection. It is thought that

Have you been misdiagnosed? I might have been.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s approximately four years ago by two different neurologists. I noticed the first symptoms two years before that. So I am into my sixth year with Parkinson’s. I have managed to treat my symptoms through natural solutions, including: - An intense focus on finding a diet

Oxygen levels after pneumonia
I was discharged from hospital one week ago having suffered a bout of pneumonia and a RSV I was treated in isolation. I know it will take weeks to recover, but I’m concerned about my oxygen level which hovers around 87-89. Any advice?
