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.

Everlasting Cold
I am on day 20 of this cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. Not Covid, grateful for that but the amount of mucus I produce is never ending. Not running a fever but just tired of the congestion and coughing. Is there any use in seeing my doctor considering I am probably just dealing with an ordinary

Phone-call from receptionist today
Only just joined and not sure where to begin as I feel as if I’m in shock a little and desperately trying to find out information. 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

Illness and taking T3 - something to consider?
just a thought I wanted to put out there and see what everyone else thinks… I am now prescribed T4 and T3 and it has been a bit of a life changer for me. Previous to the T3 being added, I was on mono T4 for years. To get out of bed and function, I had to have my T4 over range, whilst my T3 was scrapping

Thrush but not a bird
I have been given the wrong dose of my inhaler for Asthma. Now have to use two puffs instead of one to obtain the same amount. Will this increase my sore throat and oral thrush burden ? It is something I struggle with. Nothing to be done until Monday. Any advice would be welcome.

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

overlapping symptoms
hi all I’ve finally seen a rheumatologist and he wasn’t able to give me a diagnosis as he says I don’t present the classic symptoms for any one particular autoimmune disease but I have overlapping symptoms of more than one condition. The hair loss and rash seem to be puzzling them too. I’ve been prescribed
