Feel terrible
Does everyone else with chronic bronchitis feel terrible all the time or is it just me? Dry, bad taste in mouth all the time(I don’t use inhalers), headaches that don’t go away. Chest discomfort off and on, a jittery malaise like feeling all the time, and my throat feels tight or full. This is terrible

Experience with Tacrolimus with or without Azathioprine
Hi all! My drs are suggesting to put me on tacrolimus alongside AZA to help with my joint pain. Has anyone been on tacrolimus? With or without AZA or another immunosuppressant? How is your experience? Anyone have any knowledge/experience of long-term tacrolimus? Also, I got told by the nurse

Has anyone used cordyceps as an adjunctive treatment for kidney disease?
Cordyceps worm mold is widely used in China to treat kidney disease, and some scientific studies indicate that it may reduce creatinine values in patients with chronic kidney disease. I have never found found much personal benefit from it. Conclusions of recent Chinese study: "Current evidence shows

Prednisone dosage
I'm new and an American living in Spain. I have the following Asbestosis, Pulmatory Fibrosis, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis. I have a terrible cough and excess mucus day and night can hardly sleep. I've tried to get several doctors to give me prednisone, but they refuse. Medical care in Spain is lacking

Flu, Whooping Cough & Covid Vaccines
Hi All, I'm 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby.

GCA patient with Pneumonia : .Any thoughts or experience dealing with this ?
I was diagnosed 10 days ago. Cough is much better but I am ridiculously weak and afraid of flaring since the immune system is so ramped up. Negative covid test. It's always something.

CBD and PD
I have suffered PD for about 11 years. In 2018, I was diagnosed with dysphagia and had to be fed via PEG.This year saw me back to nearly fully eating normally only to contract pneumonia and return to be fed by PEG once more. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there anyone out there who has used

Methotrexate and cold symptoms
Hi guys due to shielding it’s been ages since I had a cold but now’s the time! Do you still inject/take methotrexate when you have a full blown cold or do you delay for a week until it settles? Cheers M x

Does the flu jab cause polymyalgea
My husband has Polymyalgea and is now on steroids. He has suffered quite severely but the steroids are definately helping. He is insistent that the problem was caused by having the flu jab. Has anyone had this theory suggested before ?

Does anyone have experience with exposure to cold as a therapy?
In researching approaches to enhancing the sympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system, I came across the concept of cold shock as a neuroprotective activity. Although it doesn't appear to be pleasant, I wonder if it might work. There is a protein under investigation as a therapy for accomplishing

Down to 10mg Pred instantly!
Hello again, Just seen a rheumatologist for the first time, having been diagnosed with PMR in early January this year. Went from 15mg pred to 12.5mg by March. She has put me down instantly to 10mg, which she says I should be on after six months, then reduce by 1mg every six weeks. This I think, is

Folate deficiency
I recently started methotrexate and now after my first blood test it has been found I'm very low on folate so will need daily folic acid. Also caught a nasty cold and so am really struggling ... No energy...and now have to stop methotrexate until the cold goes.. not the best start to my new medication

Interesting study on T3 and vasodilation
This is a complex study of the effect of T3 on vasodilation https://academic.oup.com/endo/article-abstract/162/7/bqab099/6276892?redirectedFrom=fulltext . I do not have access to the full paper and anyway I'm not interested in the precise details! T3 acts in a number of ways. Usually, it binds to thyroid

Bad cold not getting better
A week ago I saw a friend who was recovering from a cold. You’ve guessed it! I caught the first cold I’ve had for several years. Not only that it’s worse than a sniffle, I’ve slept for most of two days and nights. I’m assuming it’s all down to my rubbish immune system. I’m beginning to think I’m mad
