Statins with ckd4?
I've been advised to take 20mg of statins but I am worried about the effect on my kidneys (CKD 4). Has anyone taken them? I know that my renal team wouldn't let me have them if I was in any danger and I understand that I am more at risk for heart failure or attack but would like your experiences with

Inside the lungs, a new hope for protection against flu damage
New experimental data pinpoints a molecular component responsible for modulating the damage the flu can wreck on the lungs. The molecule, known as DAF, increases disease severity in mice upon infection with Influenza A virus, the most prevalent cause of the seasonal flu. Understanding this novel virulence

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Bring on week 8!
Week 7 is in the bag despite having yet another cough/cold from the boys I nanny for. They do like to share!! Found it hard going in places but also realised I kept speeding up. Looking forward to my penultimate week.

Recommendations to stop feeling sick with heart failure?
Still waiting for the final part of node ablation and switching on of CRT device. Implanted 8 weeks ago and still no news of the next bit. Rang hospital today and they could not tell me anything. Just got to keep waiting. Even though the EP casually said just give me a ring if you feel unwell and I’ll

Do any of you suffer from muscle twitching / shakes
Hello, I've suffered from what I suspect is chronic bronchitis for about 9 years now. I first started showing symptoms when I was only 22, and now, at 31, things are getting considerably worse. I have to take regular medication, and use a device to help clear mucus off my chest. I first started noticing

As COVID Rules Ease, Common Colds Rebound Across America
Infectious disease expert Ravina Kullar's husband has a cold. So does her sister-in-law. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Clinic's waiting rooms are becoming much more frequented by folks with coughs, sneezes and sniffles, said family medicine physician Dr. Neha Vyas. These folks are part of a nationwide trend

Neck pain
A couple of months ago I had a cough and cold. The cough went onto my chest and then it caused my thyroid to become inflamed and very painful. My neck was painful and difficult to move and my thyroid very painful to the touch. I was prescribed penicillin and within 2 days the pain subsided and everything

S. pneumoniae sticks to dying lung cells, worsening secondary infection following flu
A bout with flu virus can be hard, but when Streptococcus pneumonia enters the mix, it can turn deadly. Now researchers have found a further reason for the severity of this dual infection by identifying a new virulence mechanism for a surface protein on the pneumonia-causing bacteria S. pneumoniae.

Post pneumonia dosage!
Hi folks, Safely back from hospital after a bout of pneumonia followed by pleurisy. Feeling weak but much better, helped by your comforting messages! 😀. I’ve been on nearly double dosage - from 8mgs to 15mgs - for a week now. Do you think it best to drop to 12mgs for a couple of days, then ten, then

Common lung infection in infants has different subtypes with differing asthma risks
Bronchiolitis—the most common lung infection in young children, and which is most often caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV—is the leading cause of hospitalizations in U.S. infants, and about 30% of those with severe bronchiolitis later develop asthma. A team led by investigators at Massachusetts
