Covid Tests for Vulnerable People
Dear All, I am repeating on this Forum, a 'Post' I put on the Kidney Transplant forum, regarding Covid Test Availability. Essentially these Test ARE 'Still Available' to Vulnerable People. Solid Organ Transplant recipients, like myself, automatically 'qualify'- as might many 'others' on here. You can

Covid Self Tests, For Vulnerable Folk.
Dear all, The 'Availability' of Free Covid Tests is now 'Limited To Certain Groups', however Sold Organ Transplant Patients ARE Included. If you do want to 'Order' some, then go to 'gov.uk', rather than 119- or the Normal Covid Site. I found this out after 'Chasing My Tail', for about forty minutes.

I added Mucinex to my list of DO NOT TAKE over the counter meds.
Well, I finally got IT... yes, covid. My husband came home with it and four days later I came down with it. I was trying to get ahead of it by taking Mucinex the second night so I could prevent it spreading into my lungs as much as possible. My whole body jerked and thrashed all night long plus I

Digoxin side effects or post covid
I just had a blood check to find that in the last few months my iron levels have dropped quite a bit. Now I have read that digoxin can affect iron levels and so can post covid . I have a fairly mild infection about 8 weeks ago. I also understand low iron can actually cause a fib? Any ideas welcome

Finally Covid Antibiodies
Good morning I finally made some Covid antibodies after a bout with Covid. Not many, 1353, however, it is something. Not sure how long they will last.

Due to Finish Steroids but Still Covid Positive
Hi! Last Wednesday I became very unwell, eventually Thursday morning the dreaded 2 lines appeared on my LFTs! After the initial 25/48 hours the actual illness seems to have improved, my temperature has come down and stayed down no issue, and I just feel completely weak and wiped out! I spoke to GP

Covid MRNA vaccine and PBC
I've had PBC since diagnosis 2008. Treatment with URSO and bezafibrate keeps things reasonably stable. I believe in vaccines so have taken 4 Covid shots up to April 22.Soon after April dose I developed very bad pains in hips, thighs, shoulders and upper arms. To cut a long story short, this turned out

Covid test nasal swab probes

Covid Vaccine After Rituximab - Timimg
I must admit I am at a bit of a loss on this one due to the conflicting information I am getting. I had my last Rituximab in November and I have been offered another Covid Jab. Now I know the NHS system isn’t complexed enough to deduce timings however I have heard so many different timescales that determine

Paxlovid and Flecainide
With Covid cases rising since Thanksgiving here in the US, the latest medical advice is “vaccinate, then, when testing positive with Covid, take Paxlovid within 5 days of onset of symptoms.” I tested positive with Covid last July, and I was quickly contacted by an advising physician who stated that I

Scared - warm hospital to cold house
My partner John has now been in hospital for 18 days. He first went into Resuscitation for two days - after I called for an ambulance. The morning after a hotel stay, after we arrived too late to get a taxi home from a nearby town, he (a T1 diabetic) became unresponsive. He had been showing signs
