update on Covid treatments
I received a email today with updated information. This is just in case people don’t receive emails from the nhs. As of 27th June you will no longer be contacted, if you submit a positive test. The onus is on the patient to contact either their gp or specialist to consider if they should receive antivirals

?asthma
a few years ago after a bout of bronchitis which I often got in the winter I was given asthma pumps, I’ve never been sure if I had asthma. Following wheezing when I lay down or even in the day my doctor listened to my chest and sent me for a chest X-ray, this showed a shadow on my lung and I was sent

I am so upset and don’t know where to go from here…
I went to the doctors with 3 months of pain while going for a pee, I have been on two antibiotics and none have worked. So, I made an appointment with the doctor to speak about what to do to help with the pain and find out why it was happening, or so I thought. I went in and her answer was go on the

cellulitis again….
Ugh! Woke up at 5am bank holiday weekend and realised I have cellulitis… No GP cover so 40 minutes holding for NHS 111 and now on 2 hour wait for GP call back to get some antibiotics. Why does it always turn up at the most inconvenient time? Tried to explain to the call handler that, although I can

Small cell vasculitis and epidermis demostosis
Back in November last year,I got covered in a rash which was awful . Treatment initially was antibiotics and suspect strep infection. And then as it kept reappearing and visits to dermatology put down as vasculitis caused by covid vaccine of which I still don't really buy into. Here we are 8 months

How can I reduce the swelling in my foot and ankle?
Hello I was diagnosed with RA about six weeks ago and am on 20 mg methotrexate and 5 mg folic acid and have had a steroid injection. I can see improvement in other places but my right foot and ankle are swollen so I can only walk really short distances with a limp. I am worried that I will not be able

Looks like even the covid vaccination has 2 sides to the story. (Rats. And just yesterday I had my 3rd booster.)

Can emotional distress cause problems?
I added T3 to my Levo a few months ago and all seemed to be going well. How ever on two occasions since then I’ve received some bad news about sudden deaths of people I know ( one a very close aunt). Now I know I have PTSD so that is an added issue , but I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus! I mean I feel

Husband refusing to accept his weekend drinking is an issue for our fertility.
Husband refusing to accept his weekend drinking is an issue for fertility. At the beginning of our fertility journey (Feb 2023) his results were drastic. ICSI for male factor infertility. By August when we had ICSI they had improved but not great. Three eggs were fertilised but non reached day 5 blast

significant drop in platelets after Covid Shot
I am wondering if anyone else experienced this, I received my first Covid shot in April. Within the next 3 weeks I had my labs drawn for my monthly phlebotomy. Since 2016 my platelets have consistently been in the mid 700’s. After receiving the covid shot( that was the only difference in the norm)

Deciding on my next IVF protocol - advice
Hi All! My first IVF ICSI cycle recently failed because my two only embryos didnt make it to the blastocyst stage. They were fine until about day 4 and then they arrested. I will be 42 in about 3 months and have AMH levels about 7. Four egg were retrieved during the egg collection from about 8 size folicules

UTI and microscopic haematuria
After years of recurring uti and a diagnosis of cystitis cystica after camera jobby I was prescribed vagifem. This worked for 7 years until mother of infection which took 2 lots of antibiotics to subside, and has left me with microscopic haematuria. Don't want further tests, has anyone else experienced

Intrinsic factor antibody result
Hi all, I've only just seen the result of an Intrinsic Factor Antibody test that was done in December before I started SI which I don't know how to interpret. I got a result of 2 u/ml (reference range is 0-24 u/ml). Is that a positive or a negative result? Does that confirm PA or not? Can someone explain
