Where to get free COVID tests in UK ?
I understand that those of us in the UK with CLL are eligible for free COVID tests available through local chemists. However I asked at my local pharmacy and was told that they do not participate in the scheme. I think that Boots possibly do but is a little further to travel. Does anyone know if there

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt

GP appointment and blood tests - will recent steroid injection skew results?
Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

what next?
I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened

Fed Up.
Hello again, very long time, no see. I will freely admit that a huge part of my absence has been pure denial. As 2024 begins, I realise I have been a prisoner of my health problems since late 2020, when it all really kicked off probably due in no small way to our good friend Covid, both mentally and

PMR and new COVID mNRA vaccine
I was 1 month off prednisone in March 2021 when I received the second of two initial (Moderna) vaccines. PMR came back within a couple days; could not lift my arms or turn over in bed. I started back on prednisone sometime in April 2021 after blood tests showed elevated ESR and CRP. I’ve had no trouble

Shingles pain
I've had shingles with continuing pain. Wounds like a burn and a scratch are taking ages to heal. I am older, 66, and I know this can happen. Any suggestions for tests I could ask for and is there any point asking for them. Best wishes Fiona

24/7 Acid Reflux
Good day, I developed very bad acidity in July 2021 just after having Covid-19. I woke up one evening with a very bad acidic taste in my mouth and it has never gone away ever since. It feels like I have a cup of lemon juice in my mouth 24/7. I have been to numerous doctors and specialist and none seem

Metformin reduced Long Covid
Metformin is an old but well established diabetes drug. This study found a substantial benefit with metformin to prevent long covid. The attached plot shows this 41% reduction. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00299-2/fulltext And up to 63% if taken in time:

PMR symptoms after steroid injection 12 days ago
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas .🎄 I posted just before Christmas about awful shoulder and neck pain and that I saw a private doctor who thinks my symptoms are PMR. He gave me a steroid injection. It has helped dampen down the pain. It was excruciating but has since

steroid injection
Hi everyone Happy New Year to you all. Can anyone answer my question if it's safe to have a steroid injection for frozen shoulder if you have open angle glaucoma? Don't know what to do. Many thanks in advance.
