NHS email out of the blue.
Has anyone else suddenly received an email from the NHS stating that health experts have looked at health conditions that put people at more risk from coronavirus and that they have been agreed by U.K. chief MOs It then says they are contacting me because my medical records currently show I have one

CA27-29 numbers and Covid
Has anyone experienced their CA 27-29 numbers going up due to their having Covid or another of the nasty viruses going around these days? I’ve been sick the past two months. Home test was negative for Covid but we seem to have some viruses that are every bit as bad and my tumor markers crept up to 49

Activities during 2ww - how careful are you about attending social events etc?
Hello, I've got an FET coming up and am on steroids for this one. I've got a few planned activities which involves a gig which I'd loved to go to but I'm just not sure its worth the risk with COVID still about, especially if my immune system is slightly dampened with the drugs. Wondering what other people

Long covid and prosthetic issues
I have not been able to get the covid omicron booster because I am allergic to an ingredient in the Moderna and Phizer. But I have had 2 JandJs, and a mild case of covid a year ago. After a morning of sneezing 2weeks ago I tested and was surprised to see the dreaded pink line indicating I was positive

Gill Curwen poem called Collateral Damage
This is a poem by a lady called Gill Curwen, who suffers from Long Covid. She posted the poem up on Facebook and someone from Change.org who is campaigning for better compensation for primary carers who ended up with Long Covid, asked her if she could reproduce the poem on Change.org. When I read it

A recently change of my biologic arrived requiring syringe application where previous biologic was via pen applicator which was easy and fine to self administer.Administering the first dose of new biologic was awkward and unpleasant to do with its longer needle and pushing the plunger with a swollen

Acalabrutinib and covid vaccines
I have been on acalabrutinib for 2 months and doing very well. It has been about 6 months since I have had my last covid vaccine , and I am due for another. My question is will the covid vaccines work while taking acalabrutinib?

Paxlovid
After keeping the dreaded Covid at bay for almost three years I finally tested positive last week. I had assumed this would happen at some point but being immunocompromised it goes without saying that it’s a worrying time. Fortunately I was able to access antivirals very easily and started taking them

Advice please
Sorry to bother all with non-lung incident but can anyone please throw any light on this? Awoke early today with flushing to face and need to get to bathroom urgently. Fainted twice to floor on the way. Had virtual colonoscopy (sorry!) Monday am this week, and wonder if this is related to that? Inclined

Severe Cold, to Bronchitis; PMR has not returned
Had gotten a cold that became tenacious, as after 1 week of a head cold it progressed to my chest. A week later I had Bronchitis for the first time in my life and starting with week 3 my GP put me on a Prednisone routine of 40 mg, 30, 20, 10 over a course of 10 days. As if that wasn’t enough, she

Have just tested positive for Covid. Currently on 7.5mg prednisolone. Is it OK to take Snip twice a day or should I increase my dosage?
What I thought were standard cold symptoms - sore throat, runny nose and congestion - have turned out to be Covid. This is Day 2 and I don't feel too bad. I took a Snip last night and again this afternoon. It certainly helps but I seem to remember reading that you had to be careful taking this type

CLL and Covid experiences
Hi, I am 65, have relapsed CLL after FCR treatment, made no antibodies to 6 Covid vaccinations. Otherwise I am healthy and physically very active. I'm so tire of the mask everywhere and so is my wife. Can anyone tell me if they have had Covid and how it went for them? Or anyone that can

6 months post Covid and running shoes back on!
Well, it’s 6 months since I had Covid and then long Covid and at last I managed a 5 minute ‘jog’. It was slow but felt good. I mustn’t push it as until a month ago, I couldn’t even walk round the block without getting out of breath. So, I will soon be back doing C25K but may do each week twice!

Reaction between thyroid meds and antibiotics and increased sensitivity to prescription drugs
I have really been suffering with a sinus infection following Covid in December last year. My gp prescribed Doxycycline 100 mg capsules. This was at my request.
