happened to see this article In a news feed regarding B and T cells, Covid and antibodies…
I have wondered why if we don’t make antibodies by getting vaccinated, then why bother. This article gives me some hope that we are protected more than I thought. Hope that this article is credible. Just wanted to post it for our information. Subject may have been touched on before in HealthUnlocked

shingrix
Does anyone know how long you have to leave it after rutuximab before having the shingles vaccine. I had infusion in December & my GP has never offered this or the pneumonia jab so was going to chase this up. Tia

Everlasting Cold
I am on day 20 of this cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. Not Covid, grateful for that but the amount of mucus I produce is never ending. Not running a fever but just tired of the congestion and coughing. Is there any use in seeing my doctor considering I am probably just dealing with an ordinary

dienogest - shivers and cold
Hi everyone. Am on day 3 of taking dienogest and since yesterday I have been feeling freezing cold and shivery, also getting numb hands, and the veins on my arms and legs very visible (like a circulatory problem). Otherwise feel ok. Anyone else had this as a side effect? Wondering if it is related or

asthma cough
I’d love it if anyone has any tips for calming an asthma cough without resorting to steroid tablets. It’s only just over a month since my last lot and I’d really like to try and avoid them if possible. It’s driving me and everyone else mad!

Thrush but not a bird
I have been given the wrong dose of my inhaler for Asthma. Now have to use two puffs instead of one to obtain the same amount. Will this increase my sore throat and oral thrush burden ? It is something I struggle with. Nothing to be done until Monday. Any advice would be welcome.

first time covid - symptoms expectation
Hello fellow RA warriors, I have been very careful since the start of the covid era - very limited outings/socializing, always mask up when out, no more gym exercise classes. I decided to enjoy the holiday a little bit more this year - dined out with a few family members in a crowded and popular restaurant

Aching calf muscles
Hello again everyone. I have had Maderna jab, then the flu, cough etc, but not covid. All other ailments, except cough had subsided...but now aching calf muscles in both legs. Back from GP appt, but not very reassuring, as it was a student locum, in hospital scrubs, who almost took longer reading up

Covid testing
Does anybody know if home carers are still expected to do Covid tests? I have a new carer and when she came today she was coughing a lot. I asked her when she had last tested and she said she hasn’t tested since January of this year.

Disability Allowance - Any Advice Please
Hi everybody. At a recent trip to hospital for my usual check ups a question was posed by one of the medical staff. “Are you getting Disability Allowance”? No I answered! “Well you should have a look at that” they replied “especially if you have had to stop work” So that got me thinking. I am 62, I
