Disability Allowance - Any Advice Please
Hi everybody. At a recent trip to hospital for my usual check ups a question was posed by one of the medical staff. “Are you getting Disability Allowance”? No I answered! “Well you should have a look at that” they replied “especially if you have had to stop work” So that got me thinking. I am 62, I

Covid and AF
Apologies if I posted this earlier. Despite countless jabs against covid (I am 79 ) and escaping the virus the past three and a half years I succumbed to the latest variant last Sunday 10th Dec. At first I thought it was just a heavy cold with a cough. Also I was thinking that I was more susceptible

COVID
Doea anyone have any advice. I had my ablation in September and a nurse told me not to have a flu jab or covid booster. I am now stuck at home with Covid. I am a little worried about it triggering AFib.

I had a phone call from the drs receptionist this afternoon to tell me I have hypothyroidism after some blood tests and needed to pick up a prescription which I would need

A little, very quiet, thumbs up 👍
Well, I've been keeping quiet about returning (again!) to C25K but I have just managed Week 4, Run 3 without any problems so I am HOPING I can finally get back on the trotting pony regularly now. After literally a whole year of Covid, colds, sinus and chest infections, PVF/Long Covid, post-Covid cough

PMR and Pfizer Covid Vaccine
Within 5 days of my husband and I receiving the first Pfizer Covid jab, he started getting pains in his legs and shoulders. He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within

Orphenadrine
My hwp had been using ophenadrine some time ago and stopped because of fears around using anticholinergics. However, his unrelenting battle with sciatica has me wondering if it might not be worth taking the risk. He is a well person in every other way, but the pain has him battling to do exercise. He

Is this lupus?
Hi, I'm just into my sixties and have developed symptoms that are tempting to pigeonhole "getting older" or menopause, but I don't think that they are. I do know though that the flare ups became much worse following a viral infection Feb 2020 (maybe covid?). I also reacted dramatically to the astra

Advice after possible Covid
Hi all, I've been horribly ill with what is probably Covid (no positive LFT test but typical weird breathlessness, fluid lungs, fatigue, dizziness and all the rest). However, three weeks later and a course of antibiotics, and I'm still feeling rotten - massive fatigue, pains everywhere, dizziness
