How long before improvement should be felt?
I’ve been on 100mcg and 75mcg Levo on alternate days, together with a total of 15mcg t3 that I split into 3 doses. Since the cold weather appeared, I’ve been feeling the cold and my hands are cold. Also more lethargic. GP has told me to take 100mcg Levo every day. My question is how long before I should

cough and methotrexate
Been on 20mg methotrexate for about 10 months, recently changed to metojet. On tablets I used to get the odd day most weeks where I’d have a dry cough. It’s getting worse though (def not covid) , is this to do with the methotrexate?

any similar experience?
Hello friends, I did a chest X-ray following a bad flu to check for pneumonia which I didn’t have. The x-ray showed a prominent pulmonary artery. My doctor suggested doing an echo which showed a prominent artery as well. I have zero symptoms and I run everyday 7k! I’m scheduled for a CT scan to see what

Cough cough cough - Methotrexate?
I have PMR/GCA/LVV – all currently under control on 5mg Pred and 25mg MTX. However… I’ve had a terrible cough for three weeks now. Thank the Lord for Tena Ladies! I’ve gone through a bottle of Kovonia from the local pharmacist; a course of Doxycycline 100mg antibiotics from GP1 (telephone consult)

Symbicort and sinusitis
My Symbicort has been raised to 200/6 from 100 but while this has improved my asthma I have terrible sinusitis and post nasal drip. I looked at the side effects and this is one. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Vaccinations and bloodwork
I have a checkup coming soon at MD Anderson and want to get my flu shot. Would the vaccination affect my bloodwork before my visit? I typically get sick with either the flu or covid vaccinations for a day or two.

Results of recent X-ray-Early signs of COPD non acute
Hello Would firstly like to say I feel for anyone struggling with this disease. I personally feel quite shocked that I have probably got it! I’ve recently been told that my chest X-ray revealed that I have early signs of COPD but that it is non acute. I think I had two Covid infections this year

When to have the jab.
Three weeks ago I had a mild heart attack. I also had pneumonia. Will I be able to have the flu jab this year & how long after my heart attack? Also would it be a good idea to have the pneumonia jab.

Cold leg and foot
I am on my and the last few days I have been getting a really cold leg and foot both much paler than the other. I know it definitely not a clot that would be hit and swollen. I am also testing fluid, I will contact nurses on monday... It just seems odd.

Arm still aching after flu jab
At least I think it's because of the flu jab as my left arm didn't start aching until a few days after the injection. I had both flu and covid vaccines together on Oct 27th and my arm is still aching quite a bit when I'm using it and has got worse this past few days if anything. I rarely get an aching
