Pneumonia vax
Have been offered this oddly not the flu one as yet. Anyone had this I think it's 2 ? Any side effects? do I need to stop methotrexate? Gp surgery will do this.

I have my regular Inhalers that im normally ok on and also on Azithromycin 3 time's a week. And steroid spray for my sinusitis. However

first orthotics
disappointed. The podiatrist hardly looked at the foot and spent most of the appointment typing then without any measurements or gait test said he’s ordered me a pair that would arrive by post in the fullness of time. I suspect these will be no better than the well known brand I ordered online and

Lung & Throat Pain
I have Cryptogenic Organising Pneumonia, Bronchiectasis, Aspergillus Fungi. I have twice now experienced, throat pain down to upper bra line. The pain is almost unbearable, and like a bolt chest to back. Not mistaking it for acid reflux or similar, pulse in my neck is off scale. Lasts about 40 minutes

Cardiovascular issues
Anybody out there with extra-cranial GCA / LVV, have any cardiovascular issues? I was having some shortness of breath, sleepiness & lightheadedness. I'm in the middle of testing for that, but a CAT scan showed I have a dilated aortic root and pericardial effusion. Those explained my symptoms, but neither

Heavy cold
Apologies if this seems quite trivial but I have had a heavy cold for the past 2/3 days which at present is getting worse. Have tested negative for Covid so no concerns about that so I’m just wondering whether to miss my medication tomorrow or whether it won’t make any difference. I take 20mg MTX but

38 year old and newly diagnosed COPD
Hi! So I’m feeling pretty devastated with my recent diagnosis. I’m a healthy weight, I don’t smoke but I’ve had asthma all my life, suffered with pneumonia and bronchitis on and off , and therefore guessing this is the reason why I am where I am. I’m waiting for my referral to come through to the hospital

Vestibular Neuritis
Hi everyone, I woke up on New Year's Day with the room spinning around me. Very scary! Diagnosed as vestibular neuritis. My question is, I usually self inject weekly which I have continued to do. I don't know if I'm imagining it but the vertigo symptoms seem to greatly improve for a couple of days

I got covid and went to hospital. They said I have severe heart failure. Since leaving hospital my pro bnp level has dropped significantly. I think the covid caused the heart failure. Anyone hear of that happening?

Severely bitter taste when eating & drinking - ?FostairNEXThaler
Wondering if anyone else has experienced a very bitter taste in the mouth - both whilst eating & drinking (& generally too) when taking FostairNEXThaler? I’ve recently been discharged home after another hospital admission (asthma exacerbation secondary to Covid) so the dysguesia may very well be Covid-related

friend has shingles - advice please
hi, Can I have some advice please. my friend who is a beautician is scheduled to do a facial & nails for me tomorrow. I’ve had chicken pox and her Dr has said she shouldn’t pass it in because it’s on her bottom and she won’t be touching it so in that respect it’s in a good place. Any thoughts? Thank
