Running with a cold/sore throat
Hi, do you carry on running with a cold/sore throat? I have had a bad cold and sore throat all week but if I didn't get some fresh air I think I would have slept all day! Wasn't sure I'd make a full 30 min run so tried the 20 min run from week 5. Have done that 3 times this week. Still snotty but

Shingles Shot, ET and Hydroxea
Hi all, you have always helped me out so again I need to ask a question. I was recently diagnosed with ET but surely I have had this for a long while, my GP was concerned until I raised alarm buttons. Long story short went to the Hemo Dr, had BMB and scans and blood work and nothing showed but high

Hypo and Shingles
I had gotten shingles last year. That was shortly after my meds ran out. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. But it's worth being aware right? I really don't know how to use blogs so sorry if this is a wrong way.

Viral meningitis
I apologise in advance for this complicated posting. I am looking for answers, rather than sympathy. After 3 to 4 days of a headache gradually getting worse, my face drooping completely on the right side in the morning of day 4, on day 5 I contacted the GP surgery. The concern was, at age 67, I had

Shingles and Prednisolone
I have just come back from a tea party where the person I was sitting next to said that she had had shingles 'but was all right now'. It sounded as if it was very slight and hadn't lasted long, although she did say that she had had a rash, but no pustules. Should I really contact the doctor? I am inclined

Mollaret's Meningitis.
Hi, I thought I would raise awareness about this awful condition. I have had three episodes of viral meningitis and hospitalised due to this condition, each bout has been confirmed with a Lumbar puncture as encephalitis viral meningitis. I have been confirmed as having Mollarets meningitis/encephalitis

Shingles Vaccination
According to posters in my GPs' waiting room, I am now eligible for the shingles jab. However, I seem to remember advice on this forum saying that it's not advisable for patients receiving prednisolone. I have been looking at the Government's guidance for practitioners and unearthed the following: "

Newborn with aseptic meningitis
Hi. My newborn was diagnosed with meningitis on day 5. He was treated for 7 days and watched closely in the hospital. He had nothing abnormal in his blood or urine. His LP showed elevated levels of white blood in the 500's. Nothing ever grew from his cultures and they said he had aseptic meningitis.

Water, water everywhere.
We are told to keep drinking water. Especially tap water. For myself the tap water in London tastes and smells horrible. So I used to spend (waste) money on buying bottled water. My mother would say that I had more money than sense. However, I was told to try boil tap water. Let it cool then pour it

Post encephalitis
feeling isolated after recovering from encephalitis & not having much support from local consultants at my hospital or doctors as no one seems to think that any of my problems are down to having had encephalitis & if I'm honest they don't seem to have a clue about ongoing & lasting effects this has changed

Shingles & Flare
I haven't posted for about 10 months. Last I was moving back to our home after working away for three years. The move went well, we had almost 5 months at home, and being winter we got a lot of work done on inside of our house. It was fun and aside from the odd day on the couch it all went well.

I thought this might be interesting to those of you who have been told your Lyme disease is cured despite continuing symptoms.

Doctors / tests
So I went back to the doctors yesterday as I'm not coping with hardly anything at the moment. Think I might have to quit my job if I carry on the way I'm going :( So anyway he put me on nepofam and clomipramine. He also ran some blood tests iron, b 12, inflammation, rhumatoid factor etc (the usual).

Migraines from viral meningitis
Dear all, I had viral meningitis in October 2012 and its nearly 3 years after now! I have chronic migraines from the VM and have had for over 2 years. Off and on. Sometimes more on than off. I am trying botox injections from my neurologist every 3 months as well as daily propranolol and endep. Just wondering

Post Bacterial Meningitis
I'm curious to know if anyone has had a bout of Impetigo at any point in their lives following Bacterial Meningitis? A few weeks ago I developed what I thought was a pimple at the right side of my mouth. It quickly became clear that it was no ordinary spot, it grew, formed a horrid crust and wept. It
