First run done.
I’ve taken the opportunity to start the C25K as the streets are much quieter. I’m visually impaired (blind in one eye and no peripheral vision in the other) therefore I’ve always been worried about bumping into people! So I’m enjoying a little more space during this lockdown. I’ve started exercising

Face mask project part 1
Well, I was all set to try making a face mask, pieces are all cut out ready, when I got a message on Friday from brother who lives in an assisted living facility with his wife who is paralysed down her left side following a brain stem stroke. Anyway, he’d decided he wanted to give her carers thank you

Pegasys syringe sometimes leaks
I have been on Pegasys 90mcg weekly since last July. I am always very careful preparing the syringe but approximately every second or third week some leaks out from the join between the needle part and the syringe part. The drug is working so I can't be losing that much I suppose (even though it feels

Being on hydroxychloroquine for SLE makes no difference to severity of Coronavirus infection - Covid-19 Global Rheum Alliance report
This has just been released. https://ard.bmj.com/content/early/2020/05/07/annrheumdis-2020-217690 Sadly no protection for us being on hydroxychloroquine it seems. Also the hospitalisation figures (55 - 57%) were horribly high in this, but I'm reminding myself that these cases are physician reported

Dermatica - adapalene / Niacinamide
i recently started adapalene & Niacinamide and as expected people said your skin will get worse before it gets better however I’m scared I’m having some reaction... i did purge the first week and had way more spots than usual but now the second week I’ve broke out in tiny bumps everywhere and I’m scared

Low blood pressure
Hey, when I went for my bloods, I had one nurse say my blood pressure was low and another say it was slightly low. They told me to not worry about it but I’m starting to get light headed/seeing floaters when standing up etc. Do I need to call the midwife? I’m still really sick/drained, I’m 9 weeks on

Clonazapam for ocd, ptsd, etc.
Hello all....I suffer horribly from ptsd, Ocd, anxiety, and depression. The only thing that brings true relief is clonazapam. I am currently on 50 mg of lamictal and it is not doing anything. I am in therapy also. Does anyone know if a therapeutic dose of lamictal may get me to a place of calm like clonazapam

Not lung related, but relevant to a lot of members. New eye test detects earliest signs of glaucoma.
A simple eye test could help solve the biggest global cause of irreversible blindness, glaucoma. In clinical trials, the pioneering diagnostic test – developed by researchers at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and the Western Eye Hospital – allowed doctors to see individual nerve cell death in the back

Does anyone else have scarred retinas that cause double vision? If so, what was your treatment? Did you find a good specialist to help?
4 years ago I had swelling of my retinas during my pregnancy which later caused extensive scarring to both retinas. It’s most likely the cause of my double vision according to the 4 retina specialists I’ve seen. No surgery is available to correct the amount of scars I have. What’s worse is no one can

Loss of Smell Associated with Milder Clinical Course in COVID-19.
Following an earlier study that validated the loss of smell and taste as indicators of SARS-CoV-2 infection, researchers at UC San Diego Health report in newly published findings that olfactory impairment suggests the resulting COVID-19 disease is more likely to be mild to moderate, a potential early

risk factors.
Hi. I have had PMR for 5 years and been on prednisolone for the same amount of time. I am now on 2 mg but unable to get below. I am 59 so got it fairly young (54) and its dragging its pesky feet! I understand the risk of the steroids suppressing the immune system. Does having an auto immune disease increase

Loss of Smell in PD and COVID-19
There are 3 coronaviruses that cause 13% of colds. Loss of smell is often first symptom in COVID-19 and PD. It has long been a theory that one route to PD is is a viral infection that travels from nose to the deep brain. In the past few days, 6 papers on COVID-19 have cited a 1992 PD paper that shows

Lines on my forehead. Anything that I can do?
I am a 34-year-old who has always had beautiful skin, has already been commented on by strangers. It all started so quickly around the age of 33. I noticed two lines on my forehead for the first time, I no longer have wrinkles anywhere on my face. I was not worried until one day after I left the gym,

Nightime headaches and now ache in jaw. Update.
Thank you all you lovely people for your replies, they have all been really helpful. Yesterday I had a telephone consultation with my rheumatologist who said it may be TMD, which some of you have already suggested, or possibly a problem with my neck. However he has ordered some blood tests which I have

Vacuuming in a vacuum
Finally, l’m having to admit that the housework isn’t going to do itself and the dust won’t lockdown until my cleaner returns. So, I get out the Dyson. I was a much stronger person when I bought it, but I was shocked to discover how cumbersome it is and really painful to my hand and wrist. I believe
