tetanus booster and Covid vaccine
Hello I had a tetanus booster yesterday and I asked my GP if it was ok to get Covid vaccine next Thursday. He said he didn’t know and to check with primary care. When I saw the nurse she said it’s fine as both are inactivated. Does anyone know about this ? I tried finding out but haven’t managed to

Measles outbreak
Hi, not sure if I'm being silly so looking for abit of reassurance. I'm on rituximab, azathioprine and prednisolone. I'm up-to-date with vaccinations bit concerned about the measles outbreak in my area. Am I at risk due to being immunocompromised?

cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

I did get migraines before the accident.. but they were episodic… I can’t work or socialise

Diagnosis Anterior Cutaneous Nerve entrapment syndrome?
I had my ovaries removed in February 2020 via laparoscopy. I had had laparascopic diathermy and laser treatment for endometriosis in my 20s and 30s, but eventually taking the progesterone only pill meant I had no periods at all which was a massive result for me and I took them until I was 52. Unfortunately

Shingles vaccine
Just seen the BBC news health website. Shingles vaccines being offered to over 65’s ( was 70) and, even better, to vulnerable immune suppressed people over 55 from September 2023.

Ahhhh well, I guess it could be worse!
A while back, I was seen by a lady at the pain clinic, who said that I have ‘Scoliosis convex to the right with minor anterior vertebral body height loss at T12, L3 and L4. Disc space narrowing at the lumbosacral level with hypertrophy of the lower lumbar facet joints’. The pain is really intense,

NERVE BLOCK INJECTION
Ive got neurological itch, which I am putting down to fibromyalgia, and I'm booked in for nerve block injections. Im worried it could possibly make things worse, as my body tends to over react to treatments with more pain. Lets hope it works for us both, I have no idea of the success rate with this

Noninvasive deep brain stimulation shows promise for Parkinson’s. Is it an advanced form of CUE1?
Stimvia’s URIS device uses electrodes placed near the peroneal nerve in the lower leg to modulate electrical activity that stimulates specific nerve pathways in the brain. It functions as a noninvasive alternative for DBS to modulate the activity of specific brain nerve pathways. A built-in monitoring

Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy
I am seriously considering having DBS but am wondering if there are others who have successfully had this surgery to alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back & lower back. Please share any experiences with this as well as anything else you may have found that works. I am desperate. Thank you
