Lunch chat about vaccines
I've just been out to lunch with a u3a group, all getting on in years and many with various medical complaints. Some at my end of the table were saying that they are [i]not[/i] having any more Covid jabs as 'they had had enough' now and had declined the appointments that they had been offered. I tried

Post Covid for a Cllier
Came down with Covid 7 days ago - like a horrid bout of flu. Managed to get anti virals sent by the hospital on the second day at 10pm- great service Chelsea and Westminster hospital. Now tested negative yesterday but still got heavy cold and sore throat and feel weak. When will it go away??

New to PMR
Hi everyone -- I am new here and have had PMR for about five months now. I can't help wondering if the last Covid vaccine I received may have possibly triggered it, since my symptoms started less than a month after that. (I had already had five previous Covid vaccines.) I was also going through a period

managing anxiety
I’ve tested COVID positive. Feeling pretty crap but not as badly as the first couple times. Strangely no one else in the house has caught it. Just me. Initially I was feeling quite panicky about it but I’m managing pretty well. I just hope being quarantined won’t make me slip back into a place of comfort

Joint Steroid Injection
Hi,Im due to have a Steroid Injection in my knee to hopefully relieve the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. Which is very painful most of the time, and can be very debilitating. Just Wondering if anyone has had this done and knows how long it lasts before wearing off? Do they work? Are they worth having done

Covid advice
Has anybody got any advice on how to deal with Covid when on combination therapy? I've just gone down with it for the first time and I'm wondering if I should just continue as normal. Have a pretty high fever and heart rate...wd the T3 exacerbate this?

Isn’t this so true?
In today’s newspaper…….Not getting better During the pandemic, virtually every GP surgery in the land closed its doors as people were told to stay away from the NHS. The reason was purportedly to stop the hospitals overflowing but it effectively put the entire system out of reach for those who did not

Covid and under active thyroid
I have just had covid for first time, and it hit me pretty badly, like a bad flu. My glands felt really swollen during it, particularly before, and still do. I'm also so tired. Sleeping a lot. Feel sluggish. Fat for no reason and constipated. This is all the feeling for me that my thyroid is under

Cold Agglutinin
Another test in my continuing saga. I am now being tested for cold agglutinin. Dr's note below. "A prior DAT was negative, but a second one conducted on Feb. 14 was positive.

COVID-19 Infection effect on Urinary Incontinence and Mirabegron.
Dear Simon Foundation, I'm an old member of HU as a CLL type Leukaemia patient in the UK, but only just discovered your Simon foundation. Now I've always had poor bladder control and that could be due to bladder sensitivity, BPH, or damaged nerves in my lower back or all three, or more. I've gone through

Cold water swimming
Hi all, I have been toying with cold water swimming for some time. ... (Now I'm no longer on the brink of chilblains at all times it seems like it could be a reasonable endeavour!) Does anyone do cold water swimming (or similar) and feel any benefit? I've done some very brief reading about brown

Pneumonia vaccination
Thank you everyone who replied, i hope i missed no-one out . It’s reassuring to have ‘friends’ on here who understand. I shall be having my jab next week. I had no problem after the flu and covid jabs, i really don’t know why i’m worrying. Fear of the unknown i guess,
