Pain worse when ill (cold/flu)
hello! I am on the waiting list for a diagnostic lap to check for endometriosis which I do have a lot of the symptoms for. I’m currently under the weather with a pretty bad cold. But my endo symptoms seem to be worse while I’m ill. I’m in so much pain which is radiating around my back and into my legs

Will a cold stop chemo?
Hello everyone. My first chemo is planned for Thursday but I’ve started with a bloody cold today (sniffles and sneezes, no temperature as yet) - do you think it’ll stop my treatment going ahead?

Covid and flu vaccines
Managed to get both my Covid booster and seasonal flu vaccines today. They even had a large TV screen following the funeral.

A Cold & surgery
I’ve got a cold for the past few days. I feel ok at the monent, but previous colds have ended up affecting my chest. I know what to do if it does set my asthma off, but I’m due surgery on 29th September. I’m worried now that this cold could possibly delay my surgery (which I’ve waited month for). Is

Flu vaccination priority
Can anyone explain to me why my local GP practice appears to have put me in the general age banding of the over 50s category for flu vaccination instead of following guidelines written out by the NHS? I’m over 60 (but not yet 65) and the NHS online site concerning the flu jab is quite clear on this

Children’s live flu nasal spray
Morning, my Granddaughters are about to have their annual flu jab, which here in the UK is a live nasal spray. I know I need to keep away from them for a while, but cannot find anything on the NHS website to suggest how long for. Does anyone know or have had experience of this? Thanks

The article referred to below
This paper is behind a paywall, so I'll get it elsewhere. But it shows the benefits of giving T3 to patients after heart failure. This is just the abstract

Covid autumn booster and flu vaccs
Having said I'd have my flu and covid booster separately I've just booked to have both at once at our surgery. Has anyone strong feelings either way? I've never had reactions to any of covid jabs ( Astra Zeneca Moderna or Pfizer) or to any flu jab.

Further evidence that getting cold can trigger my AF.
A couple of times during covid lockdown I had got cold after a winter walk with friends when sitting outside (not allowed inside remember) chatting and having a sarnie and I went into AF. Well it has happened again this time whilst cycling in the Pyrenees and I have recorded it on my Polar chest

hypothyroid and flu-like symptoms
Hello, I’m just wondering if there is any link between hypothyroidism and flu-like illness. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2013 after radiation treatment for lung cancer. I feel like I have the flu approximately once a month and this has been going on for years. I never have a cough but sore

flu jab and Levothyroxine timings
Hello everyone, the invitations to have the ‘flu jab have started to be sent out, I’m assuming it’s best to leave minimum 4 hours following Levothyroxine morning dose? This will be my first experience of the jab since I started Levo.

Covid Booster
I had a message from my GP Surgery yesterday with an appointment for my booster. I think there has been some discussion about having a flu jab at the same time. This invitation was only for my booster. The surgery normally starts flu jabs in October.

How often do you get pneumonia in a year with bronchiectasis?
I am curious to see how I compare with others who suffer from bronchiectasis. So far, I have had pneumonia 3 X in an eight-month period. It seems like a lot. My last sputum test in June 2022 showed stenotrophonoma and aspergillus. I do lung clearance once daily and Ventolin 2X a day. Also, Breo Ellipta

does this look like raynauds?
This is after turning my AC back on during a heat wave and neglecting to throw on a pair of socks and brief exposure to the cold floors. My feet are aching and freezing ice cold.
