A question on breathing, possible long-covid ?
Strange thing, and need your help, just to see if anyone else has the same symptom, so Dec 2021, came down with covid, and then had a upper respiratory infection, which lasted around 4 months. During these months, I had wheezing, and at times very bad, but there was one other symptom, which I need

Leg Pain pt 3
Writing again because one of you lovely people suggested I saw my MRI results for myself. She was right, my doctor said it was wear and tear in the back. Keep taking the painkillers and walk. But I did see the results and it is Grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis. He did not suggest physio. But

Pneumonia recovery / Bronchiectasis - what is what? Questions! Thank you
Mild bronchiectasis was diagnosed in both lower lobes (but only partially) one week post-
infection
. Had pneumonia also 11 months prior - many
chest
infections in previous years. Questions: Could the mil bronchiectasis be pseudo-bronchiectasis as it was found during the current infection?

anxious about CAD - MRI result
Hi all, Does anyone know if a cardiac MRI would pick up coronary heart disease , or at least see some part of the arteries? I’m awaiting a CT scan with dye to look into CAD, but my consultant thinks it’s unlikely as I’m 32 , I am overweight and an ex-smoker so I do have some risk factors. My cardiac

Methotrexate and sinus/nasal issues
I've been on MTX for a year now and over the months I keep saying I feel like I'm coming down with a cold but it doesn't happen. I get a blockage in the back of my nasal passage and that causes post nasal drip and a sore throat. I was taking sulphasalazine but have stopped that as I felt so tired on

Check your Thyroid
For about a year I’ve been struggling. Fatigue getting worse, frozen shoulder, dry mouth and eyes, aching, brain fog, palpitations. It really got worse after last years autumn Covid booster when I thought I was having a heart attack. Heart all checked out fine. So I talked to my consultant at my clinic

Does a cold always go to chest infection with COPD?
Is it inevitable that what starts as a runny / blocked nose always leads to a
chest
infection
with gunky phlegm? I have mixed moderate COPD/ Asthma but am lucky that still have rescue pack which I do not use till phlegm appears.

Temporary AF during Covid?
Hi. Following an ablation nearly 2 years ago I have been AF free. I have PIP Flecainide and Bisoprolol that I have never needed to take since the ablation. I take Edoxaban daily. I currently have Covid and yesterday had a jumping feeling so checked my Apple Watch and it said AF. I immediately did several

one year olds vaccines
Our grandson aged one is having jabs. I looked up and these are scheduled for one year olds. MMR is a weakened vaccine. Does anyone know if it’s safe to be around him as a immunosuppressed or where to find out in green book please ? Hib/MenC Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) Meningococcal

Recurrent meningitis
Hi, I'm looking to connect or share experiences with anyone who has had multiple cases of meningitis and is currently at risk of meningitis due to a csf leak? My csf leak is from a traumatic injury and I've had 3 surgical attempts to fix the leak. I've had 2 cases of meningitis, and both were before

stomach acid
I don't understand this stomach acid 'thing'. I take a proton pump inhibitor for high stomach acid but people insist that as you get older you're stomach acid reduce. I'm 79. Also that doctors erroneously mistake low stomach acid for high!! What is going on? Any thoughts

Tinnitus fades after noise exposure
Hello all, hope you’re doing ok! I’ve had low frequency tinnitus for 18 months or so, some days better than others. One thing I’ve noticed is that my tinnitus almost entirely disappears after I’ve been in loud environments. I was at a gig on Monday and I forgot my loop earplugs and for 3 days and nights

Covid is lasting a long time this time round
Today I’m day 16 of testing strong positive. I caught covid visiting my hubby in hospital. I wore a mask when I visited and sanitised my hands but still caught it. My GP thinks I’ve had 2 strains as I’ve had 2 lots of symptoms. I visited the hospital on the Saturday afternoon, hubby was told that evening

Leflunomide and tapering. Update on flare this Summer
I posted in late July about getting into a yo-yo situation trying to control a flare of PMR and got excellent advice from DL which sorted it out. I've been on 3.5mg ever since (I was at 2mg when the flare started). I've tried using DSNS taper. But the PMR isn't ready to cooperate yet!On Monday I had
