After years of being careful...
I know others are suffering from worse things at the moment but there's something that has made me a bit fed up. When I was diagnosed with COPD, Asthma and Bronchiectasis I was told in no uncertain terms to avoid people with colds and this I have done since 2015. All our friends know very well that

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.

Enerzair Inhaler
Has anyone come across this inhaler? I’ve gone from Fostair to Relvar and now to this. Haven’t started it yet but does this suggest I’m now on triple therapy? It’s a bit disconcerting to be on what appears to be a pretty strong inhaler a year into chronic bronchitis. I feel it leaves little room to up

Xstich
my husband has pulmonary fibrosis, since having pneumonia last November the coughing has got worse and he is bringing up phlegm. He’s now having trouble swallowing food mainly his dinner, he chews & chews the food but can’t swallow it, he recently had a gastroendoscopy with polyps found in the stomach

Hot weather & getting nutrition right
Hi everyone hope you are doing well last July in the heatwave I became really ill & ended up in hospital. I had pneumonia but to me it felt very weird because I was very hot & the doctors said my heart rate is above 120 & I was given steroids & antibiotics. I was struggling to stay cool & also struggling

Covid Antivirals
I know some people are eligible for these. I’ve been exposed to covid and I’m pretty sure I’m about to get it, ironically for the first time also. I don’t have copd but fairly full on chronic bronchitis. I’m concerned that it’l be a rough dose . Whats the criteria for getting antivirals for covid?

nebuliser recommendations?
I’m hoping to give nebulised saline a go and was wondering is there much difference in types of nebulisers? It would be for the low % saline as this hasn’t been prescribed by my consultant. Thought it may help to clear some much (chronic bronchitis) as I seem to be tied all the time lately- chest feel

systemic sclerosis
Does anyone suffer from terrible heat in veins and arteries(skin) yet raynaud's at the same time? But can also be shaking with cold inside - if that makes sense! I have Sjogren's and Systemic sclerosis but all the Doctors ignore the intolerable symptom of hot and cold I suffer

Cold medication
Hello, I think I may be coming down with a cold. I seldom get one and usually rely on Beecham hot lemon powders or similar. However I am now on edoxaban and Bisoprolol and I am wondering what cold medication, other than paracetamol, it is safe to take? Thanks in advance, for any advice!

Effect of thyroid dysfunction on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Papers regarding the impact of inappropriate thyroid hormone levels keep coming out. It would be a miracle if endocrinologists showed any evidence of having read them. And incorporated the lessons into their practices. [i]
