Intro
Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. I contracted streptococcal meningitis in December 2013. I was in hospital for 17 days then went into rehab for 4 weeks. I am now waiting to go back into rehab. The meningitis resulted in me being deaf in my left ear. My balance is impaired hence I cannot walk unaided

Cold sores
Woke up yesterday with cold sores all over my mouth today they have covered my mouth completely and are huge and very sore I'm using cream for them but my teeth also hurt and especially under the plate of my false one (due to teeth falling out). How does everyone cope with these outbreaks. I think

Vaccination - MMR
Hi there, My granddaughter had a live vaccine of MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) yesterday. We were planning a family dinner tonight. Does anyone know if that's OK, with CLL?

I have been diagnosed with shingles
I have been given anti viral tablets, and stop meth and hydrox. The rash is not paining only when touched, but the pain appears to be inside my abdomen on the same side as the rash. Does anybody have any similar experiences with shingles. I dont know what I should expect.

Cimzia/methotrexate/hydroxy = coldsores and mouth sores
I am quite used to my mouth shedding skin and having an occasional sore inside my mouth but since starting Cimzia a few months ago, am getting a recurring coldsore and more mouth sores than before (on the positive side, my joints feel much better, as do my energy levels). I am due to see rheumatology

I have recently been diagnosed with PMR. However several friends & family members queried the diagnosis and asked if I was certain I did no
have lyme disease. I'm from Canada and there has been a lot of publicity around this tragically under diagnosed disease. The symptoms are very similar to PMR but the treatment is different...antibiotics mainly. They say going on prednisone masks the real culprit.

Does the after effects get reduced with time or it goes on deteriorating worrying about it ?
I am also very glad that i found this website. I have been reading your stories from past few hours. All of us are going through a very hard time. I think i was also contracted with some meningitis at the age of 4 when i had a serious headache. Docs said to my parents that they may have seen symptoms

Aussie Ticks come with different risks
Regular CLL Forum readers would be familiar with warnings about the risk of getting Lyme Disease from ticks However in Australia, no causative agent for this illness has been isolated from local ticks or wildlife, and the most commonly encountered tick in Australia has been shown to be unable to transit

Many Doctors are using these under or over the counter Do not rush out and buy.
Lymediseaseguide.org/rife-machine-therapy-for-Lyme-disease I first came across these devices in the late 70's in the form of radionics they go by biofeedback quantum healing. Computer versions can get right under my skin: They are illegal as one of the comments says. Doctors and other practitioners

Not sure whether this is a scleroderma rash or Lupus...any advice...it's extremely painful
Hi All, I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and I have woken up this morning with a really swollen wrist - nothing new there - but I have a strange, wheel rash on top of it. Not ring worm as I have had this before and I haven't had any tick bites etc so that rules out Lyme disease. It is flat,
