Covid recovery
Hi, I tested positive on 15th December and was positive for 14 days. It attacked my lungs this time and was bad. From day 1 I was prescribed steroids and a 2 week course of Docyciclyne to take alongside my nebuliser. I’m now on my third course of steroids and my peak flow is still only about 310. Heart

Low BP in afib and covid
After all the years I have finally caught COVID. Had a headache for a couple of days which has gone now. Not much coughing, just feel a bit achy and weak.Unfortunately, it's sent me into an afib episode although my heart rate is staying below 100bpm in fact it's hovering around 70 to 80bpm. I was concerned

In the summer, I noticed sporadic noises in one ear. It only happened at night, when lying down to sleep. It was almost like a deep and faint squeak. It lasted 2 days and went away. Months later, after developing a sinus cold, it returned. I did not react immediately as I thought it would pass. After

lung nodule / proposed surgery / scared and confused
Hello, thank you for this site. My best to all on this site for health and happiness. I’m not even sure where I may be at on this journey but am certainly scared and confused . In March of 2022 I had a kidney stone and a lung nodule was detected on right lower lobe and suggested follow up in 3 -6 months

Biologic with covid
Testing positive for covid and am am taking a biologic.Like my head the info is a bit wooly, but I think it maybe that I should suspend the biologic until covid test is negative. Presume this is correct as i think it should make sense. Is anyone in similar circumstances able to confirm or otherwise?

Unexplained increase in mortality rates
I'd like to begin by saying I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but having heard so many stories (mostly first hand and through personal experience) since the outbreak of Covid in Jan 2020 I am beginning to question what's going on. A recent publication in LANCET, no less

covid 19 and Funcational Gait Disorder
Hi All I’ve had Funcational Gait disorder for 12 long years now, so cannot walk very far and rely on my mobility scooter and walking stick to get around. Last Sunday I came down with covid and it seems to have attacked my legs so I’m almost unable to stand let alone walk a few steps. Has anyone else

Free Covid Rapid Lateral Flow Test
Does anyone know how to obtain Covid Rapid Lateral Flow Tests free-of-charge in the U.K.? The Gov U.K. site says they are not available direct but are available via your local Pharmacy. None of my local pharmacy stores issue these tests free-of-charge under the NHS but are happy to charge £13 each, even

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope you all enjoy much better health in 2024. An update. A couple of weeks back I had a tele-consultation with my rheumy as I had Covid. This was my 1st encounter with Covid after 3 years and 8 months! On the tele-consult app I was able to upload a brief resumé of my last

PAF well controlled till I got covid
hi, I’m new to this forum and hope you can give me some hope. I’ve had PAF for 13 years, well controlled on propranolol 80mg slow release - other beta blockers seem to affect my chest/throat and give me dreadful indigestion and can’t tolerate the newer ones. However in November whilst on holiday in

On Venetoclax, lymph node appeared
Trying not to worry but a lymph node in my armpit swelled up. I feel fine, no colds, fevers or recent vaccinations. Even did a Covid test because I have had Covid totally asymptomatic but negative. Has anyone have this happen and it turned out to be nothing. Hoping this is just a fluke but it seems

Covid 19 vaccine UK
Hi there, I’d welcome any information you have on eligibility for Covid 19 vaccination in the U.K. I’ve looked at the .gov.uk website and in one place it includes epilepsy under neurological conditions, in another place it doesn’t. I did have an in invitation from my GP for flu, but not for Covid.
