Been a bit quiet, been a bit low. Repeating a week...
Hello all,So I've been fighting a cold/cough bug since the tail end of my hols last week. The last run I managed was on Monday of this week, so I'm feeling a bit disappointed in myself, but every intention of getting back to it today after work 🤞🏾 I've now decided it was "ok" to let my body rest,

Have another really bad cough and cold (not COVID) - is this related to the immune system being reduced by pred ? I am on 6 mg after about 5 years

Intubation could become a relic of the Covid era
Millions of people around the globe suffer from acute
respiratory
failure
from different causes – not just Covid – and 35.9% never make it out of the hospital. Those who do survive face a long recovery period. Readmission rates are high and around 30 percent of patients develop PTSD.

Heart failure
I had a P and A in 2021 to stabilise my fast heart rate in Permanent AF. Although still in AF, I thought that was my heart sorted. Last year I had pneumonia and then at Christmas another chest infection, that has taken until now to sort out. As I am still breathless and very fatigued, I had a chest

Home dialysis will soon be possible for more kidney patients
Just in time for World Kidney Day, March 9, Israeli company gets FDA nod for game-changing home digital dialysis system. Healthy kidneys automatically filter waste from the blood 24/7. But for millions of people with advanced kidney disease – including about 570,000 Americans — that essential task is

Hives from cold weather and after getting sun burn
Has any one else had this problem I started to get hives a few years ago when exposed to cold and now have it very badly after getting sunburned. Rash with large itchy lumps. Is this part of the PMR effect on the immune system.

sudden Bronchiectasis exacerbation.
I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis about 5 years ago and have been on daily azithromycin tablets 250mcg which have been a life changer after getting chest infections on a monthly basis and basically living as an invalid for years. I felt stronger and more confident. Apart from a few colds and a flu

Help needed! 😔
Wondered if anyone could relate or any advice? OK so back in Dec 2021 I started with a runny nose, sneezing, blocked, and neuralgia - I thought I was getting a cold, so a few days passed and still all the same symptoms but I noticed my smell had started to go, which is strange because I've never really

My CLL, where is the finishing line?
Just over a year ago my “Abnormal CLL” took off. I lost weight rapidly and my 22 cm spleen hurt. I was glad to be offered V+O and after a bad initial reaction settled into the routine. Then the sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infections set in and the cough…. Fair to say I have endured the year

Any tips pls ..? Dad's really tired of is cough - that's now a mix of dry (mainly) and some mucous
Hi, the mucous is not really coming out now. But the dry cough is new. The hospital checked for an infection (given the dry cough), but didn't spot anything which is a relief.
So, my question is really about how best to handle a cough that's dry , with just a little mucous ..?

Not exactly ‘in the pink’
Hello everyone. Are there any people out there, that cough up pinkish phlegm. It’s only after lying down for 2 or 3 hours. I’m not quite sure if I’m starting to develop heart failure. I’ve been taking anticoagulants since 2014 and changed onto Apixaban about 16 months ago. Thanks in advance.

Bizarre Diagnosis
So, I got the HRCT results back and no bronchiectasis - yey! But I got a really weird letter from the Consultant saying that the diagnosis is therefore chronic bronchitis, which she never mentioned in her chat with me. I looked it up and chronic bronchitis is a form of COPD. Except... I only have one
