Is there any updated advice regarding Covid-19 for Lymphoedema patients?
Hi I just wondered if there was any updated medical advice for Lymphoedema patients? Now restrictions are easing up I’m finding that I am unsure what advice I should be following. Initially it was easy as anyone who received the flu jab was vulnerable, anyone who got a letter was extremely vulnerable

I fall into the 2nd category on BSR, as only on methotrexate injections 12.5mg (I haven't

‘Flu vaccine
I rang my GP to ask if I should get the ‘flu jab - and get a script for it as I do every year - this year because of my recently diagnosed PMF I qualify for free vaccine! Part of me still rebels being labelled as having a ‘chronic illness’ or having ‘reduced immunity’ - part of me says ‘Thanks very much

The vaccine we’re testing in Australia is based on a flu shot. Here’s how it could work against coronavirus.
A new trial has begun in Victoria this week to evaluate a potential vaccine against COVID-19. The vaccine is called NVX-CoV2373 and is from a US biotech company, Novavax. The trial will be carried out across Melbourne and Brisbane, and is the first human trial of a vaccine specifically for COVID-19

I have an irregular heartbeat my heart misses the 7th beat. Should I be concerned in regard to covid-19. I also have high BP controlled.
The doctors said they were not concerned at the time because my irregular heartbeat is regularly irregular. Each year I have to have the flu jab I presumed it was to do with my blood pressure I'm told this is not the case they don't give you the flu jab for blood pressure.so I wonder if I had been given

2020 and we are still confronted with stigma. Even from some of the medical professionals. (I’m new to the forum).
I had successful treatment for hep. c after second treatment, (48 weeks the first time, 14 weeks the second time) which was about 5 to 6 years ago. The reason I mention stigma is twofold. Firstly I got hep. c through intravenous drug use in the 1960s and 70s. Secondly I suffer from a serious mental

Is everyone with CLL on the UK Government Vulnerable/Shielding List ?
I am 2 years into W&W and still have no symptoms. I was advised in January that it would probably be "many years" before treatment was necessary. The consultant only indicated that I should have my annual flu jab plus one for pneumonia but apart from that just advised me to carry on as normal and to
