Is there a test that you'd recommend for somebody suffering from long Covid and is the O.A.T useful?

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Recurrent meningitis
Hi, I'm looking to connect or share experiences with anyone who has had multiple cases of meningitis and is currently at risk of meningitis due to a csf leak? My csf leak is from a traumatic injury and I've had 3 surgical attempts to fix the leak. I've had 2 cases of meningitis, and both were before

GPA flare, is it likely even if I only have 1 symptom
I was diagnosed with GPA in 2017, I have had 3 flares since initial diagnosis and although the symptoms have got milder each time, I always have the same symptoms - pain and loss of hearing in my ear, discomfort and blood in my nose, pain and stiffness in my finger joints and extreme fatigue. I regularly

Leg Pain pt 3
Writing again because one of you lovely people suggested I saw my MRI results for myself. She was right, my doctor said it was wear and tear in the back. Keep taking the painkillers and walk. But I did see the results and it is Grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis. He did not suggest physio. But

Fostair Nexhaler - Side Effects after 2 months?
Hi everyone, Hope you can advise. I had asthma when I was in my teens but then it got better, now in my thirties my ashtma decided to come back. It appeared one year, but I was able to manage it by running so no inhaler was almost unnecessary, but sometimes would take the brown. Then had COVID (mild

Back again!!
I have been on here a few times and Jools and Sue saved my sanity! Other's have also been so kind so, thank you...again! I do have another question which I'm sure Jools and Sue can help me with. The 20 mcg Buprenorphine patch has helped my RLS hugely though I know it's lurking but I can now sleep which

Flare after Shingrix shingles vaccine?
Hi Everyone, I received my second (recombinant) shingles vaccine yesterday. The first one caused a mild fever and malaise. This time my finger joints are stiff and pretty painful. Has anyone else had something similar and, if so, how long did it last? Thanks so much

chest infection symptoms
hi, I have a diagnosis of bronchiectasis which doesn’t usually cause me any problems. I’ve just had a cold which has left me with a slight cough but nothing major. However, after starting to feel better I feel like my chest is tight and have found myself getting breathless when walking my dog. I’ve

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.

RSV vaccine?
Hi all! Is there any reason that I might want to avoid the RSV vaccine with my PMR? I also have delayed getting the most recent covid booster since I had covid last September and hoping that immunity is going to last awhile. As always, so appreciate the advice on this great site.
