Worried About (Possible) Recent Diagnosis of PMR.
Around 3 months ago I became aware of increasing aches and pains in my arms and legs and an overwhelming exhaustion. I’m normally a fit and active 73 year old. My neck felt stiff but I put that down to wear and tear as I also have worn discs in my lower spine which I manage with Pilates. GP sent me

Interesting article about the effects of Covid19 on your blood
Having caught Covid19 a short time after my allo SCT and with my anaemia ongoing, I was interested to see this article. This is not CLL specific but worth a read.

covid vaccine and prostate cancer
I was surprised that the post about the covid vaccine was abruptly terminated as if the subject was closed and the answer is settled. That is not true in my opinion. This is a brand new technology that was only tested for about a year. No definitive study has been done about the long term impact (if

covid vaccine & prostate cancer
Any concerns/studies re covid vaccines bringing prostate cancer back? No politics just want to know if there are any reasons to be concerned.

Over heating
I have been suffering from overheating since I had covid in 2022, thought it was my HRT tablets but wasn't (doctor has since taken me off them, another story) and has gotten worse over the period from then until now. I start sweating no matter what the weather or temperature is day and night, I can

Calcified tendonitis
Has anyone experienced calcified tendinitis? I have been diagnosed with this after 6 months of excruciating shoulder pain. GP kept just prescribing painkillers then I saw the physio who advised me to have an X-ray. I am now having a steroid injection in my shoulder followed by physio, and hopefully this

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone

Another cold type virus
Posted in January about respiratory virus which I recovered from about 2 weeks ago. Blow me down, I have a sore throat, runny nose, feel flat and no energy again. This is the 3rd cold/flu type bug I have had in 3 months. Is this due to suppressed immune system or overdoing it or just bad luck? @

Winter or Spring Covid Booster Vaccinations?

Recurrent vaginal thrush- need urgent help
I had what looks like a vaginal thrush for the first time 3 weeks back. I'm 35 yrs old. My GP nurse saw me and suggested Canesten pessary. I took it but to no avail (also the pessary did not work properly) I went back to the doctor in 2 days and she suggested Flucanazole oral tabled (150 mg 1 dose) that

Covid recovery and steroids
using the dsns method I had got down to 0.5 mg steroids in December but then I got covid. The first symptoms that I experienced were like a pmr flare. I increased the steroids to 5 mg . After two weeks of slow recovery I then went rapidly downhill and went to the doctor. I have asthma and was very breathless

My Last (IFN) Dose, my Fateful Decision One Year Ago
This is a long and not cheerful post, I understand if you don’t wish to wade fully or at all thru it. Sections are marked for easy reference. The thoughts are my opinions only. -- I wrote a few months ago on my botched flu vax anniversary. Today is the one year mark for my Last Dose of Besremi

I thought it was just a cold!
Not on ocrevus anymore, but I had the 1st of my monthly tysabri on the 20th, and I've since got a chest infection 😞 a couple of nights of not being able to sleep properly had really affected me, to the point where on Monday just gone I was wanting to get in to see a GP!

Aciclovir as prevention for shingles
I wish to express my deepest thanks to all fellow members who have responded to my recent enquiry. There has been consensus in all replies confirming that prescribing Aciclovir is standard practice.

Declined lupus Centre help
Hi all, hope you're all doing as well as you can be. Just thought I'd give you an update on something that went from being so hopeful to now being left to struggle once again. If you know my previous posts just before Christmas I'd had a steroid injection and was waiting to see professor D'cruz in London

A suggestion that is working well, for me at least. AT least for now.
I think RLS can have several triggers, as well as several things that help. Sometimes it changes and what worked often does not neccessarily work each time. It may work again, but in the meantime, you need something else. Certainly avoiding foods or substances that bother and trigger the RLS, is a
