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

Flu shot debate, I've noticed a decline
My mom is 94 and a sibling took her for a flu shot without my knowledge. I then visited my mom about 10 days later and noticed her blood pressure was up to 198, even while lying down. I took her to immediate care where they brought it down but it continues to stay higher than usual and the cardiologist

Covid
Hi all.So, I'm now on my 4th bout of covid. I am not really so surprised I'm stuck with heart problems. I guess it can only get worse. Has anyone else had covid 4 times, or at least more than once? I want to point out that I am a healthcare worker and have been vaccinated, although I don't believe

Covid booster..good news story
We are all different, and respond differently to meds, vaccines, etc. I thought I'd post to say I had both my Covid booster (my 7th covid jab to date) and my flu jab on Sat. I had a slightly sore arm, and that was it. The least reaction I've had to date. BTW I was Pfizered, like in the spring. I

Need advice about T3 levels
Hi, I have had some tests recently which included thyroid levels and my free T3 levels are 3.1 which appears to me, to be right on the borderline of normal. The free T4 and the TSH are fine by the look of them. Im just wondering if that T3 level is a bit low. I dont have any symptoms I would describe

flu and covid booster
I had several texts from the NHS inviting me for both flu and covid shots due to my medical condition. My only condition is AF. I booked in with my local pharmacy today, but he would not give me the booster as I am now on Flecanide and he said under new guidelines it is not recommended. I am very confused

Oxygen levels after pneumonia
I was discharged from hospital one week ago having suffered a bout of pneumonia and a RSV I was treated in isolation. I know it will take weeks to recover, but I’m concerned about my oxygen level which hovers around 87-89. Any advice?

Covid Vax when Sick?
Does anyone know whether it's advisable to get vaccinated when you're ill with something else? For the last week I've been laid out with either a cold or allergies (leaning toward the latter based on symptoms) and I'm scheduled to get a combo covid/flu vax tomorrow. I really want to get that done ASAP

Covid Jabs
Does being hypothyroid and asthmatic qualify anyone aged 60 for a Covid jab this winter, does anyone know? Receptionist at my surgery has just told me not. Although they want me to have a flu jab! I can't figure that out at all... And what do you guys think about having one anyway? I've had three

Invited For Covid Jab
I had a text this morning urging me to book in for a covid booster much to my surpise. I'm not sure what my elibility is based on, I'm not over 65, not diabetic or immunosuppressed. No kidney or heart problems. Certainly not pregnant. I dont have a serious lung condition. I do have asthma and use

anti NMDA encephalitis
Hi! My husband had HSV1 encephalitis in March-April 2023, then anti NMDA encephalitis May-August 2023. He had the steroids, the plasma exchange but it was the Rituximab that finally got it sorted. I’m just looking to connect with anyone that has suffered with it or their families?! We don’t have

Covid Jab. Know ur NHS NUMBER to book
I got a message from the NHS inviting me to book an appointment for my covid jab. I did it all via the NHS app & it's stress free & took all of a minute.
