Follow up x-ray pneumonia
Hi everyone. I rang my surgery today to see if my follow up chest x-ray results were in. I had possible pneumonia diagnosed 4 weeks ago, apparently the 'possible' meant that the mass on my x-ray was tiny, anyway the surgery said my results were in and I had to make a telephone consultation appointment

dry cough
I am on Q &V treatment for CLL but I seem to have a perpetual dry cough. Is this a side affect.

something or nothing, blood in mucus
Good morning everyone, I am trying not to panic, I have had a normal cold for just over a week, as is usually the way I have ended up with mucus on my chest, so quite a bit of coughing, I had a fright this morning as the tissue was bloody, this has never happened before. This is my first cold since

Amitriptyline
Hi all, I've had ibs -c for many years. Last year I was in so much pain in my hips my doc sent me for an xray it turned out to be an impingement. My doc gave me amitriptyline as a painkiller. Oh my word they worked wonders. I was regular as clockwork no bloating. I had been on a diet with no weight loss

Covid & Flu booster
Hello everyone I recently started on Benapali injections….2nd one this week so obviously can’t tell if it’s helping yet. So far only tiredness as side effect. Do I have to stop for 1 week before having the Covid and flu boosters ? Also I am due my second Shingles vaccination and trying to avoid

Upon losing my father , some retrospect. Take what you need and leave the rest.
Tysm for all. Unfortunately my dad's death was long and horrifying bc he couldn't breathe . He died of leukemia to my knowledge, not prostate cancer and please dont jump on me for saying so bc I am vaxxed and I'm not an anti vaxxer,but I have no doubt that that the vaccines sped up his demise as he got

Covid
It was my understanding that if you had an underlying health condition like Lupus you could be prescribed anti viral medication if you tested positive with COVID. I contacted my doctor today and he said lupus wasn’t on the list of serious underlying health conditions and that GPs don’t prescribe the

Have you been misdiagnosed? I might have been.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s approximately four years ago by two different neurologists. I noticed the first symptoms two years before that. So I am into my sixth year with Parkinson’s. I have managed to treat my symptoms through natural solutions, including: - An intense focus on finding a diet

Covid or chest infection?
I started with covid at the weekend. The last few days I've had a chesty cough, and today it's producing thick yellow mucus.My peak flow is low, I have on and off tightness, especially after coughing & SoB. Before covid, my asthma hadn't be that controlled, but I hadn't got so far as seeing the GP.

Seeking a good travel insurance company for rheumatoid arthritis
Just wondered if anyone has any advise on travel companies they have used that covers rheumatoid arthritis. Also I noticed that for Corona virus cover you have to be up to date with COVID vaccines and unfortunately I missed the spring booster so any advise for cover would be gratefully received. Many

Advice for Ongoing Condition?
Have been on the forum for a while, and has been a great help but asking for advice. About 2 years ago I had problems walking, was constantly tired and generally felt absolutely awful. I was forgetting names, and even falling off my bike when riding. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Painful peripheral

Is it ok to take azithromycin with paroxysmal Afb but no episodes for three years.
Consultant has prescribed azithromycin to be taken every three days because I did say I had an exacerbation two years ago, although I am not sure it actually was. Also this entails undergoing three ECGs a month apart. Don't like the sound off that. I also suffer mild bronchiectasis, so I suppose I am

Taurine supplements New Scientist Page 18, 17 June 2023
There is a research article in the news article section of the New Scientist that week saying that Taurine supplements may extend lifespan and health as we get older. 12,000 60 year olds were analysed and higher taurine levels correlated with better health and lower incidence of type 2 diabetes and reduced

Pred and colds, and pmr burn-out
Hi All.Probably both silly questions, but firstly, do other people with PMR keep getting colds? One after the other? I am tapering down from 10 mg. Secondly, I've read that PMR often burns out after 2 years. So does this mean that if I taper down to 0 or 1mg across 2 years, the PMR will have gone as

Study: Stress affects the effectiveness of vaccines
[i]Dr. Natalia Freund in her lab. Photo courtesy of Tel Aviv University[/i] While stress improves antibody production after Covid-19 vaccination by 70%, it significantly reduces antibody diversity to protect against variants. A significant link between behavioral stress and the effectiveness of vaccines

Night sweats after steroid injection?
Hi I eventually got steroid injections in my knees and fluid drained off on Thursday. Even after starting Hyrimoz my CRP had gone from 41 in May to 78 a week ago. Since the injection, I’ve woken up soaked in sweat around my shoulders, neck and back of my head, when I lookin the mirror my cheeks are
