Covid finally caught me!
After being so careful for over 3years Covid finally caught me! My husband tested positive last Monday and despite keeping well away from him tested positive on Thursday. I contacted the NHS Covid helpline in the morning and had anti virals delivered to my door by 4pm. I am still testing positive today

PMR and Covid vaccine
Hello. I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2023 but had pain from October 2022 which GP put down to deferred pain from hip problem which I had seen a physio who gave me excercises which with hindsight cured the hip pain. I had Covid vaccine in early October and I didn’t make the connection at the time

Shingles vacine
I have been offered a Shingles vacine and am Hypothyroid taking 75 m of Levo daily. Does anyone know if there are side effects because of the auto-immune disorder?

bleeding after Canesten pessary
I’ve had episodes of thrush over the years all treated with tablets or pessaries. I used a Canesten pessary a couple of days ago and now have period like bleeding. Never experienced this after treatment and pretty sure it’s not a normal period bleed. Any advice on similar welcome

IVF in Spain for male factor
Hi All,I've decided to go to Spain for ICSI IVF mainly because we want to try fresh surgically retrieved sperm (through sync egg retrieval and TESA/PESA) and our local clinic doesn't offer this option, only freezing sperm in advance. Can you please private message me with your feedback and results from

Weaker left ventricle function (LVEF)
Hello all. I had a routine ECG for something else and they picked up I have a weaker left ventricle function(LV EF). This is 45-50% and apparently 'normal' is 50-75%. I am a very fit 50 year old woman, I have no symptoms - feel fit as a fiddle!. I have no background history of that might be causing this

positive HPV smear
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??

Testosterone
Hi everyone, I'm a long time ThyroidUK participant. Right now the thyroid replacement is good, vitamins, minerals, are all great. I'm very particular to ensure this. I use HRT (Triestrogen/progesterone) topical cream and have used since age 45 and I'm now 65. Here's the problem: in March

Lipoid pneumonia
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)

Low AMH downhearted 4th round
Hi, I have had 3 rounds of IVF in the past 20months and am now 35yrs of age. One resulted in a missed miscarriage at 7weeks and the other two I had nothing to transfer as we have also undergone genetic testing due to an issue on my side. We've been very fortunate in that these cycles were NHS funded

Waiting game
Hi everyone, I don't have the flu jab, mainly because I have so much pain in my arm and it makes me feel so unwell, doctor not happy as I have severe COPD, not had the jab for last 3 years, touch wood do not suffer from colds flu etc. No covid follow ups either. Call me stupid, but we all do what is

Immature eggs at egg collection
Second round of IVF, first round we got 8 eggs but poor fertilisation, only 2 fertilised and we transferred one day 3 which was a BFN. None to freeze. This round we changed to ICSI and we got 11 eggs but only 4 were mature. Will find out tomorrow how many fertilised with ICSI. I’ve cried so much since

BUPRENORPHINE
This is my story: I am 74 and have had RLS since I had a Cervical Fusion in 1984. I took different medications until I went into augmentation from pramipexole 3 years ago. Then all hell broke loose. For the past two years I would walk all night because I could not sit. I used my stationary bike

Barrigel and markers
This Wednesday I am scheduled to have barrigel and markers. Doctor told me to take two extra strength Tylenol an hour before the procedure as well as one Valium. Also, antibiotics. Is the one Valium enough to calm me down as I am pretty anxious about the procedure? Has anyone else who has had these?
