Should I have stopped methotrexate whilst I had an awful cold recently?
I’ve had a really bad cough and head cold for over 6 weeks and it’s just settling now. Do you think I would have got better quicker if I’d withheld the metho???

TSH lowered fast
Sorry I have another question. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I had been coughing/flu for 2 months. my tsh was 27. After 1 month on levo 25mcg the tsh was now 3. I would like to know if the tsh dropped so fast because of the levo or because my flu went away.

Cold feet
Morning, this is my first posting as had no idea there was a site for cold feet and a name for it. Have had the problem for many years and wondering if anyone can suggest anything which might ease the problem for me? Thank you. Paul

Pace and Ablate - Symptoms of Heart Failure after pacemaker and AV node ablation
My pacemaker was inserted three weeks ago for symptomatic persistent a-fib that no longer responds to meds, cardioversion, or ablation. I had to wait for the AVN ablation since I am sensitive to silicone and the pacemaker parts are coated with it. I haven't had any rejection symptoms therefore my AV

Update
Spoken to GP at length this morning regarding this awful fatigue I am suffering from, and how awful I’ve felt since starting Amlodipine. He agreed reluctantly that as I’ve been slightly better since stopping Amlodipine a week ago he would remove it from my prescription, but has increased Cozar (Losartan

pain, cold weather and chicken
Many of us find cold weather increases joint pain especially when outside in the winter months. My 35 year old son who is healthy but permanently broke visits a local supermarket before his 50 minute walk home to his cold flat after work each day. Yesterday they were selling off the hot roasted chickens

Does anyone else notice that their pd symptoms fade when they are sick with the flu or other similar viruses?
I’ve had pd for a long time and I notice that when I have the flu or a bad cold or upper respiratory viruses that my symptoms fade and I actually feel better. It’s weird. The symptoms come back when I’m well again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

CATCH-UP CORNER...WEEK ONE... Everybody is Welcome...!
...but it is so warm and comfy, here in the Corner. Nearly time to get out my Winterval cushions and go foraging for a few more logs for the fire. Slip off your shoes and come on in, grab a cushion, you are very welcome :) The weather, certainly where I am, has turned. The days are getting shorter

cough with mild disease activity
Hi Everyone I have a cough that comes just once a day in the morning and lasts about 1 hour. it’s very severe and deep in my chest. I have a little activity on the RA front also at the moment so concerned it’s affecting my lungs. Mild scarring was found on my lungs in the past pre diagnosis last

What to do when catch the flu with SLE LUPUS?
Hey everyone, I know there are a lot of pointers in how to avoid an infection but they do happen from time to time. Just wondering if anyone has tips when they catch the flu? Anything that works well during this time? This is the second flu I have caught this year, so any tips would be deeply appreciated

Ground glass opacity.
After I had pneumonia in August a scan showed a 4mm nodule with ground glass . All I can think about is cancer. I'm waiting for the results of a recent scan . What is ground glass?

flu vaccine
I have an appointment for the flu jab early December, am now getting unsure whether to have it or not. My bronchiectasis is severe, breathing on any movement difficult. Take a dose of Nacsys every day to loosen the mucous, causes lot of coughing to bring up the mucous, but fingers crossed no infections
