Covid booster vaccines
hi Does anyone know if partners / carers of clinically extremely vulnerable people are eligible for the Covid boosters in April. I am under 75 years of age. I am “happy” to have it done privately at a cost of £100 approx but would need to travel some distance at the moment. Thanks for any advice

Spring 2024 Covid Vaccine invitation.
Good evening everyone. I’m enquiring if anyone has been contacted with an invitation to have a Spring Covid vaccination booster and if so, how many are or have taken this up? My G.P’s Surgery messaged me recently and I have an appointment for this on 1st May. I have since heard of three people who have

Asthma anxiety
Hello everyone, I am just writing a post as I wanted to see if I am alone in this and whether anyone has any suggestions to help. I will give a bit of a backstory to this. I had mild asthma from the age of 13 however it wasn't serious enough that my parents never took me to get diagnosed. Fast forward

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
Hello, I’m looking for any advice if possible, I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 years ago now. I think I had it as a child, it seemed to come about right around the same time I got my periods at 11. Every month I would have horrendously heavy menstrual cycles that were so painful I’d almost pass out

Hi Everyone. Has anybody received a letter yet about their April Covid jab? You follow the NHS App and it brings up an out of date link telling you about Autumn 2023 jabs. It then tells you further down that the page will be updated in 2026. I just looked on my personal NHS account and nowhere can

We finally have a new Evusheld!
The FDA recently granted an emergency use authorization for a new Covid prophylactic for the immunocompromised. It's called Pemgarda and it is administered intravenously. It's like the former Evusheld in that it gives us antibodies (which is great for those of us who don't respond well to Covid vaccines

Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

Feel like giving up.
For unknown reasons other than we think Rituxumab is not working for you any more my medication was changed to Kevzera (Sarilulmab) in November. The work up checks were done and good to go apart from a Chest X Ray as I hadn't had one for a while. A shadow area was found on my lung with suspected
