One Covid/Afib connection
I tested positive for Covid last week, and I was awakened the next night by a strong coughing attack for a few seconds that made me unable to catch my breath. My heart apparently responded the way its does to sleep apnea and jumped into arrhythmia before I could calm it with some deep nose breaths. This

Common Cold and CLL? What does Immune Compromised actually mean?
So when one gets a "common cold," and has CLL progressing but still in W&W, should one expect to get a worse cold than one would've before the CLL took hold? In the 6 years since diagnosis with 13q/unmutated CLL, my numbers have been creeping up, with ALC recently topping at about 30K, and WBC just

cold/cough/flu symptoms on day of FET
Hi everyone, just had my 4th FET, no success so far but hoping my recent fallopian tube removal has done the trick and I’ll implant this time 🤞 the annoying thing is after all the failed transfers and last one cancelled when they discovered liquid on my ovary leading to the laproscopy showing a blocked

Any advice or thoughts appreciated! Trying to keep cirrhosis in check despite hospitalization for very serious pneumonia
Hello all. I was diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis a year and a half ago. Had stopped drinking a few months before, but the damage was done. I was in terrible shape but with a great doctor and 100% commitment to my nutrition and lifestyle was compensated and on minimum maintenance follow up. I was

Infection without cough or fever?
Is it possible to have a chest infection without a cough or fever? I've just gotten over a cold (2nd one in a month) and again my asthma is flaring but I also feel uncomfortable/pain in the back of my lungs. I don't have a cough, but if I do, it's dry and kind of squeaks. 🤷🏻♀️

Sort of flu
I think I’ve got something flu like. I feel achy and horrible, coughing and exhausted. I have been very slowly reducing steroids and am down to 0.5 mg. I’ve been getting shooting pains in one knee and have painful fingers, I’ve never had these particular symptoms before! I don’t know if pmr is flaring

Antibody levels of immunosuppressed people following covid-19 vaccination - results of the MELODY study
A study measuring the antibody levels of immunosuppressed people (including those with lupus) after having covid-19 vaccination found that about 4 in 5 people with a weakened immune system had antibodies after having 3 or more vaccines. People who had more doses of vaccine were more likely to have antibodies

OAB Fluid intake important
Hi. Thanks for sharing your story. I’d like to add or expand here about fluid intake. I’ve just stopped the solifenacin after only a few weeks as I’ve developed breathing issues and hot clammy forehead I was still getting up 3-4 times a night which was an improvement on 6-7 times My Urology Consultant

Coping in the heat
Hi, i have finally got a diagnosis of ET and have started on pegasys, fourth injection this week. It has been warm here the last couple of days and I have found work to be extremely exhausting. Does anyone else suffer in the heat? I work in a lab so need to wear a labcoat. I have asked for an occupational

covid
I have been taking a bunch of drugs for five years since my heart attack. Now I have tested positive for covid. My wife says she recalls the cardiologist once telling me that if I suffered covid then I should stop taking one of these drugs but does not recall which. I am hesitant to bother the cardiologist

Covid vaccinations
https://www.england.nhs.uk/who-is-at-increased-risk-from-covid-19/ This lists people with LD as at increased risk from Covid. So why are poeple with LD excluded from having Covid vaccines this autumn? Most especially when their death rate from Covid is 3 times that of the general population?

hypothyroid pins and needles in feet
I have been Hypo for 20+ years and since last winter I have pins and needle like pain in my feet. This is almost constant but becomes much worse when cold. Toes are cold to the touch and not pink. Dr has diagnosed Reynards but I’m not sure this is correct as it doesn’t appear in bursts. Does anyone

SULFASALAZINE & FOOD POISONING - Is Anyone Else Affected?
In the first 20 months of taking Sulfasalazine I had food poisoning 8 times from food where no other partakers had any problems - 4 times with vomiting and diarrhoea (I had 2 such cases in the previous 60 years). My GP put it down to the immunosuppressant effects of Sulfasalazine making me more susceptible

Taking hydroxychloroquine but I’ve just found out that I cannot get the Autumn Covid booster with my GP
I booked my flu jab this morning and was told I was no longer eligible for an autumn Covid booster, which I thought odd as I was always invited early for other Covid jabs as well as being offered anti viral meds, if needed. Does this sound right to you? I am only taking hydroxychloquine and am just
