Ovulation induction

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

hi, I was diagnosed with graves a year ago and after 11 months of carbimazole I have been taken off with a view I might be in remission. Is it risky to have vaccines like Shingrix, is it likely to cause a flare up? Same applies to covid and flu vaccines. I cannot get a straight answer anywhere and specialist

Hello, Back on September 1st my wife had her second 6 monthly check up after stopping medication for aspergillus nodule in left lung as her condition was stable. At the time chest was clear and she was really well. All blood tests show aspergillus count now back down to an acceptable level - another

I had my smear test last week and after having smear tests for years this one has come back HPV positive with abnormal cells called low grade dyskaryosis and I’m being sent for a colposcopy. I’m so stressed what does this mean do I have cervical cancer??

News of a new variant and adapted Covid vaccine is in the UK media to-day, raising the question for me whether to get it or not. I’m nervous as I recall my PMR starting 2 days after my very first jab (Pfizer) - my system was in a very stressed state at the time. I am currently half-way through 5-week

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with CLL about 6 years ago W&W. I am concerned about getting Covid. My husband does not wear a mask in public and was just at a weekend memorial celebration with friends - one who had Covid a month ago - no one wore masks My question is - should I stay at my folks for a

I was in two minds if to write this post as I know how difficult it is to read these updates if you are still struggling. and the fact that I am still in shock at a positive result. But I would also like to share a story of hope. So some of you will know my history, we had success on our second ICSI

We moved to Scotland in April. Can we book a Covid booster as we did in England or is it different here?

Those who followed our Journey, know this is such a painful process of grief. Two weeks ago, the hospital wrote it would not change the factual information in my wife's chart. In her chart it had been written she had Biopys proven Nash Cirrhosis, which led doctors looking at ultrasounds that said

At my last Haematology appointment the Dr told me that Interferon helps strengthen the immune system. I have also read that Interferon has been given to some patients with COVID to help with their recovery. I therefore wonder if the latest upcoming booster vaccination is required. Does anyone have

Earlier this year I had serious nose bleeds resulting in hospital admissions and cautery. Subsequently seen by ENT consultant who advised daily insertion of Vaseline into nostrils to prevent them drying out and possible further bleeds. Since then I found on the internet (various reputable sites)

hi all I am wondering what I should do if I caught covid again? Am I meant to get antivirals? I work in a health care setting which means I’m likely to come into contact with covid patients 🫣 I’m feeling a bit vulnerable and worried my GP hasn’t advised me of what I should know or be doing? I’m also

since covid in 2021, I get a heart rate of 200+ during certain exercises (I am fit and healthy and now scale exercises to avoid this). Previously when speaking to GP they brushed it off as long covid. Now two years later i did running and box steps ups- my hr went to 200+ with some chest tightness. I

Hi all hope your keeping cool and not suffering too much in the heat.I believe England has been hotter than here in sunny humid Cyprus. I wanted to share a bit this Wednesday tested positive for covid. After having a lovely summer in Newquay and Croatia relatively cough free. Returned to Cyprus and started

I thought i was through the worst of Covid as i had been feeling much better overall, but today i did a new test and its still coming up with 2 heavy red lines and now i'm plunged into the doldrums once again. Looking back I believe the 2 years of lock down has changed us, and non-more so than the isolation

So I was wrong. My PMR is not back like I thought. No, instead I have covid again. I am very sick but my rheumatologist put me on a pred pack to help and my husband just walked in with the viral medication for covid. At least this way I won't go into an adrenal crisis like I did last year when I got

Hi All, We are still waiting to start our treatment after being referred for ICSI in August this year. We had a further consult today and have decided to go down the donor route due to male factor infertility ( severely low count ). We have been told that we could be looking up to a 12 month wait and

I haven’t had a Covid booster since November 2021 (I missed the second booster last November because I had a bypass). With the various new variants knocking around, I’m considering having one at the end of the month when they are issued to over-65’s. However, last time I had a lot of ectopics after the
