If control measures are stopping flu in its tracks, why aren’t they stopping coronavirus?
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages, other respiratory illnesses have been unusually quiet this year. Fears of a dangerous influenza and COVID-19 “syndemic” have not come to pass as influenza cases reached some of the lowest rates ever observed. The near absence of the flu might reflect increased rates of

Interesting external urinary catheter for women
My friend told me about a product used with her mother in hospital. It’s called PureWick, a wicking suction device that functions as an external urinary catheter for women lying in bed. It is expensive, but for those who are exhausted by nighttime trips to the toilet or pad changes, or who want to avoid

Orgovyx
Beginning Orgovyx this week. Co pay $50/mo. Will see how it goes. Just finished focal proton radiation to a spot on a rib and 1 node with Dr Rossi at California Proton. No side effects. Medicare paid 100%. Have been on Firmagon 3 months to radiosensitize the cancer we planned to radiate prior to treatment

Secondary pneumonia- post covid/ventilator
Hi everyone, My dad is off the vent and off sedation. He is breathing on his own but still in the hospital. However, today they said his breathing was a bit laboured. They also said his white blood count was low. They are suspecting secondary bacterial pneumonia. They have already started treating it

Why am I suffering from sore windpipe and chest?
Every week I have a recurring sore throat and trachea particularly at the base and my chest is sore. I have a bit of a cough but not much. Talking makes it worse and the cold weather. Not sure if it’s worth seeing my gp?

Bronchiectasis In The Cold Weather
Good afternoon all I am just wondering how everyone here who has Bronchiectasis copes with the cold weather. I have been trying to get out for regular walks, whilst I am shielding, I have to get out as I am a postman, and if I don't walk regularly at least every other day, I know I will have trouble

Smokers cough compared to covid cough
Hi all Hope everyone is keeping well, so I tried to stop smoking a few months back and it was going ok up until December when I had a relapse and started again. I know have a really crackly cough, sometimes thick phlegm will come up and it sounds clear again. I am pretty sure this is due to the smoking

Uncontrolled Asthma, repeated asthma attacks every day. Do I have bronchiectasis?
I am 52, slim, fit, healthy and quite fit with a balanced healthy diet no milk but plenty of bio yoghurt. I supplement with vit c, vit D and probiotics daily. I have had asthma since 4yo, productive chesty cough for twenty five years, chest infections two to six times a year swiftly cleared by Amoxicillin

Covid pneumonia, sedation weaning not working
My dad has been in ICU 2 weeks now after testing positive for Covid pneumonia. He has some underlying health conditions and has been up and down during his time there. They have started the weaning process this week and they said his body is panicking when they do so. He has failed to cope with the reduction

Hyperinflated lungs
I had pneumonia 2 years ago and chest xray showed hyperinflated lungs in line with copd. I had another xray 6 months later which still showed hyperinflated lungs. I had a pft 6 weeks after my pneumonia which was fine but I can't seem to get answers why my lungs are hyperinflated. All I have done is

Developing secondary pneumonia after COVID 19
Well here I am again. After fighting off the ventilator for 17 days, recovering and coming home, my mom has wound up back in the hospital 2 weeks later with bacterial pneumonia in her right lung 😢 They are currently using a chest tube to drain fluid out of her lung but it is draining slowly indicating

Patient experience with NDT (DTE)
By accident I came across this (openly available) paper on patient experiences with NDT v FT4. I thought it interesting enough to post here:

Feeling very cold and ill.
I've been aware recently, especially since it's been quite cold, that I go very cold as well, (in ear 35) cold and feeling really ill. Today I have had to resort to 4 thermal layers, hiking socks, turn the CH up and light a fire, and it took all morning, it's now 2pm, to get comfortable and start feeling

Ct values and (RT-PCR) SARS-CoV-2 tests -ASK FOR YOUR Ct VALUE before making radical treatment decisions
(I try to avoid Covid-19 comments or on molecular virology/biology on this forum, but this one seems appropriate given RoyProp's post. The use of Ct values is controversial, so don't assume anything I say is gospel, but plenty of studies are available to substantiate what I suggest. Look for Dr. Mina's

Pulled calf again! (W2R3 second attempt at Couchto5k after an injury last year)
I got home from work and got changed immediately whilst I was warm from my car. (My bedroom was cold as the heating isn’t on til later). I stupidly got engrossed into a text conversation for 15-20 mins, (in my cold bedroom). Didn’t realise the damage that would do. As with most of the UK, snow has fallen

Persistent Vegetative State
My 72 yo mother was hospitalized on 12/14. She had just been discharged on 12/11 after two months of battling pneumonia. I found her unconscious and unresponsive. She was taken to the ER by ambulance. She was immediately intubated and put on a ventilator. I was told by the Pulmonologist that she had
