CRP 220
Currently in hospital with Pneumonia. My CRP was 180 on Saturday and went up to 220 on Monday. Medics are going to do a procalcitonin blood test which I've never heard of. Could one of you very clever forum members enlighten me

Having no temperature
Hi, having lupus, we are prone to having lots of infections. I do not generally get a temperature with an infection as body does not fight it off. Is there anyone who does get a temperature when they are ill? I’ve currently got the flu and chest pains with a chesty cough. I have feverish symptoms with

Almost died of flu, pneumonia and sepsis - will the fear of death go away?
I found out later how sick I'd actually been -
respiratory
failure
, multiple organ failure. I finally fully woke up in a critical care unit of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital mid March and was totally confused as to how I got there.

Shaking Body & Cold Clammy Hands
Hi all Fortunately my AF episodes are few & far between 🤞, therefore I just take Flecainide as PIP when it kicks off, which it did at 1am this morning. I got up to go to the loo & when I got back to bed I couldn’t stop shaking, I was so cold, then the AF started. My question is does anyone suffer

Pneumonia Vaccine
I was talking to a very friendly Doctors wife yesterday who works on his admin and we talked about the amount of people suffering and in some cases hospitalised with pneumonia. She said that the vaccine I was given about 10yrs ago is now not considered to be sufficient protection. It is thought that

Cold symptoms with suppressants
Just trying to figure out how my system is different with the immune suppressants. I recently had a cold but it never got really bad but it is also lasting a long-time. I know someone who had a blood infection and her immune system didn't kick in until it was very severe. She was on immune suppressants

ECG help
Hi all, First time posting in this forum I have posted in the main BHF a few times. I'm currently waiting for an AF Ablation and recently had my preoperative assessment for it. The nurse kindly gave me a copy of my ECG and naturally I took to googling to try understand it ofcourse getting nowhere 😂

Covid and flu vaccines
I unexpectedly had Covid and flu vaccinations today whilst at the doctor's for something else. Was putting it off but glad it's done now. Today is the day I usually inject my MTX and one nurse said give it a miss this week whilst another said to do it as normal. I decided to give it a miss. Is there

Retuximab
Hi guys, Hope you all had a happy healthy New Year :) Unfortunately I had flu, then Covid and what seemed like a virus :( I just started Rituximab infusion 26th September therefore according to the information booklet I’m not meant to have live vaccines (flu, Covid) for 6months after, hence probably

shingrix
Does anyone know how long you have to leave it after rutuximab before having the shingles vaccine. I had infusion in December & my GP has never offered this or the pneumonia jab so was going to chase this up. Tia

mucus plugs (plastic bronchitis)
Hi, sorry for gross question but... A long story short: I was in hospital for a severe asthma flare up in September for 12 days (when I was first diagnosed). I was on oxygen and not improving. They gave me a lot of saline and salbutamol nebs. What eventually worked for me was that I coughed up a lot

NSR with supraventricular ectopy!
I just woke for a wee and my heart felt weird with odd pulse so used my Kardia and got this. I’ve had a nasty cold and cough for about a week - might that be what’s causing it. Last time it happened I’d taken something that contained caffeine so haven’t had it again and did have some cough medicine yesterday

Slight Cold and Actemra
I caught a slight cold over the holidays which I’ve had for about a week and a half. It’s been nothing more than a runny nose and congestion. Very mild. I decided to skip my 6th Actemra dose last Friday until it clears up. It’s almost gone but has settled in my sinuses. Tomorrow is Friday and that’s
