A help line that works! Wow what a surprise.
Some of you will know that last September I had a pacemaker installed. At the time of my six week checkup the centre told me that I would have a bedside monitor box that would read my PM and relay any problems to the clinic but that they were out of stock. When I was chatting to my EP recently I mentioned

My GCA Update
I just got done with my MRIs and MRAs, so we’ll see if results show much. My blood test came back with sed rate normal (always has been) and C-reactive prrotein headed down. It went from normal in PMR, to 1.3 and then 2.0 in GCA. Now at 0.8, so barely high and heading in the right direction. Still feeling

Covid vaccine
I've been offered a covid jab as I work with vulnerable people but I'm currently experiencing a real flare up of my asthma. Has anyone else had this situation and gone ahead with the jab? Did it make it worse? I'm thinking to postpone the vaccination.

Covid vaccine - symptoms worsening?
Good evening. Wondering if anyone has experienced AF symptoms worsening after a covid vaccine? I have paroxysmal AF and am in day 6 of AF…usual symptoms so far (palpitations, high heart rate, breathlessness when active, occasional lightheadedness) so nothing out of the ordinary. However I had the covid

I have not got an asthma diagnosis, but had inhalers (salbutamol, Clenil, Fostair) for 18 months after suspected Covid in March 2020.

Should I postpone Covid booster?
Apologies this question was asked recently but can’t find it now! Do you think I should postpone my covid jab tomorrow? Have been fibrillating for 9 days. Felt fairly weary to start with though pulse rate not above 100. Still out of rhythm but feel I am getting better every day and don't want it to

Allergy to prednisolone?
Hi everyone I have severe asthma and was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency in 2020 after taking lots of Pred when Covid triggered my asthma. I was just left on 5mg Pred for two years with no endocrinology involvement. I was eventually transferred to an endocrinologist who tried me on hydrocortisone

NEIGHBOUR JUST GOT COVID VAX
Quick one - I think. My neighbour, who helps me during these back issues, just got a Covid booster and Flu vax yesterday. Is it possible for her to transmit the virus to me? Is "immune compromised" the correct term for us PMR folk? Am I being paranoid? TIA

COVID vaccine - old stock in use in the UK
Apparently, in order to save money, the British government decided to use the old stock of COVID vaccines, and they were doing so until a week (or so) ago. Hence, more than 2.3 million older and immunosuppressed people received the vaccine that does not match the dominant strain (XBB ), including people

Better after covid
I've had PMR for more that two years, am now down to 2.5 mg. A month ago I also had covid, like a very bad cold plus diarrhea. It lasted two weeks. Now I'm recovered from the covid I feel better than I have in more than a year. That dragging feeling of weakness and fatigue I've had for months has gone

Hi all, first timer on this thread. I’ve been on Plaquenil for 5-years to treat RA and also on antidepressant Celexa (10mg) for the last 10 years. In 2022, my primary dr suddenly alarmed me that I can no longer take Celexa due to IQ heart issues that was found during the Covid pandemic when so many
