Help with meds for flu
Just caught the proverbial flu , unfortunately not able to find a suitable medication to help with symptoms due to side effects unsuitable for the medication I'm presently taking IE Valsarten for bp, beta blockers for AF and coagulants (apixaban). Is anyone able to advise or know of a medication to help

Covid, Flu and RSV vaccines
I’m looking for advice on spacing vaccines. I received the newest Covid vaccine on Sept 20. Is it best to space out the flu and RSV vaccines or receive them the same day? I am still in active surveillance but I know that my antibody production from previous Covid vaccines has not been great.

It was only for a week but have had a few occasions where I felt uncontrollably cold even in summer. Recently my physical therapist used a TENS unit on my back with

Been on the IC since April 24h….bit fed up now!
Hi, I completed C25K a few years ago, and run regularly. I started having pain in both feet earlier this year, which felt like Plantar Fasciitis, which I had had very successful surgery for over 20 years ago! ( I must have been REALLY lucky with the results, as it’s hardly done now, as it’s not thought

Covid got me - cycle day 9 pre FET 😭
Any similar stories? Or messages of positivity? Currently feeling rubbish and rather sorry for myself after testing COVID positive today with a fever and banging head last night. I was supposed to be in clinic today for day 9 scan pre-FET. I'm so frustrated as I really hoped to transfer this embryo

covid booster and prednisolone
just a quick question- I am on a tapering course of prednisolone and have my covid booster booked before the end of the course. Does anyone know if I can go ahead or should I postpone?

Covid - Beware Getting Treatment
it’s currently 08.30 in the morning and I have probably had the worst ordeal ever. I tested positive yesterday morning. As is the protocol I rang my Consultants Secretary, she arranged for the paperwork to West Yorks Healthcare (we live in North Yorkshire) Trust. She added to let them know as it was

PVC study
Just found this study on possible non-invasive treatment for PVCs. Study results do not seem to have been published yet, maybe its still in progress. I'm very interested to know the results. I notice that I often experience ectopics after drinking hot tea within minutes of ingesting. Considering the

advice on sulfasalazine and the sun
I have been told by my rheumatologist nurse that I need to start taking sulfasalazine for my reactive arthritis, as I had a steroid injection after taking steroids orally, but it’s still not keeping the joint stiffness at bay completely . I’m not happy as I was under the impression that reactive arthritis

COVID!
After a couple of days feeling under the weather, I (finally) tested positive for COVID this morning. I have a headache, and stuffy nose, nothing else. My wife, from whom I probably caught it has symptoms so mild that she didn't even think to test until I came up positive. They sent her home from work

The dreaded covid
Hi Having recently come home from a holiday, both my husband and I have tested positive for covid. He’s never had it so he’s been quite poorly, I’m the one on watch and wait with CLL, I’m feeling not as rough but I’ve had it a year ago, and have had all the vaccinations offered me and so has hubby.

CRP 220
Currently in hospital with Pneumonia. My CRP was 180 on Saturday and went up to 220 on Monday. Medics are going to do a procalcitonin blood test which I've never heard of. Could one of you very clever forum members enlighten me
