Covid booster and thyroid blood test
I am due to get my annual thyroid blood test in October. Have just realised that I get my autumn Covid booster the day before. Is it likely to have any effect on the test results?

Time to try some extended release?

I have severe asthma which bag at 40 yr old I’m now 62. I have lots of medications tablets and inhalers etc I’m currently awaiting further tests to check copd and possible suitability for biologics. The only thing that really helps well is steroid tablets which I have at big flare ups from time to time

My glove upgrade lost its buzz..
Hi, My PD/Tass glove prototype seems to have lost its “buzz” when my partner swapped the old/vinyl look (on the right in the picture) with the clean new look (on the left in the picture). Using the SAME power/arduino etc. it seemed that it should work great until I put them on my hands and realized

Denosomab and Dental Treatment
I was prescribed Denosumab injections after osteoporosis fractures in my lumbar spine. The first injection was July 2022 and given by a nurse in the Rheumatology department. I was warned at the time that should I need invasive dental treatment (eg: extractions) I would be referred to a hospital. My

Hi there! I have a sad story to tell about the last 6 months. I had a severe kidney stone infection (and UTI) in the spring. I was slowly doing better on my new thyroid medication (Erfa), but the infection caused bacteremia/urosepsis and I developed severe confusion. I had started taking my thyroid

Covid-19 jab - book now or wait
In the UK, the Government is rolling out its autumn Covid-19 vaccination programme and encouraging those eligible to book their appointment as soon as possible. However, there is some concern that the current vaccines being used may not offer protection against new Covid variants such as Pirola, and

Candesartan for high BP
Has anyone taken Candesartan for high BP? I've recently taken Doxazosin, and Peridropil, both of which made RL much worse. My GP has prescribed this to start today. I'm hoping for better luck with this.

stopping aspirin temporarily
hi. I’m suffering from really bad sciatica. The orthopaedic surgeon wants to give me a branch block steroid injection (whatever that is) but only if I can come off aspirin (75mg) for a few days. This is because he’s afraid I might bleed into the sciatic nerve, which could be disastrous. I’m seeing my

anyone else had genetic testing?
Hi well I’m back after a long break after previously having 2 BFN when we tried donor eggs with icsi. We’ve saved up again and decided to give it one last shot and this time the consultant recommended we try genetic screening before having any embryos implanted. Just wondered if there is anyone else

hypothyroid pins and needles in feet
I have been Hypo for 20+ years and since last winter I have pins and needle like pain in my feet. This is almost constant but becomes much worse when cold. Toes are cold to the touch and not pink. Dr has diagnosed Reynards but I’m not sure this is correct as it doesn’t appear in bursts. Does anyone

What changes did you make between Cycle 1 and 2?
BFN today following our one and only embryo transfer from Cycle 1, so beginning to think about our next (and last) cycle. It all started off quite well, 18 eggs collected but unfortunately only two fertilised via ICSI. I'm 39. But do have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship. We are having

Absolutely heartbroken 💔
Hi ladies, as the post says really my heart is shattered! A little bit more about my story, we had our first ever round of icsi and managed to get 2 good quality eggs which were then frozen, fast forward to 1 month later I had my egg transfer on the 20th of March and got told to take a test on the 2nd

ICSI and lifestyle changes - help
Hi everyone - I really need your amazing advice… My OH’s sperm sample results were great but we did the DNA frag test which came back high (there was a trial at our clinic). Our consultant told us to make lifestyle changes for 3 months and take impryl before our next round - which would be ICSI. I

Wary of covid autumn booster
Hi, You can read from my profile that I am aware that there COULD be a link between the Pfizer jab (Comirnaty) that I had in November 2021 and the onset of PMR soon after. I had had two AstraZenica jabs prior to this earlier in 2021 with no adverse effects whatsoever. While on 6mg prednisolone, in
