anti NMDA encephalitis
Hi! My husband had HSV1 encephalitis in March-April 2023, then anti NMDA encephalitis May-August 2023. He had the steroids, the plasma exchange but it was the Rituximab that finally got it sorted. I’m just looking to connect with anyone that has suffered with it or their families?! We don’t have

A Shingrix thank you
Hi, I just wanted to thank so many of you who have spoken of your side effects with the second Shingrix, yet being worth it. It was when I recently read here that being only half vaccinated was still being open to Shingles that spurred me into getting the second one today, after 2 1/2 years. After

Shingles.
I have always posted about my Afib and cardioablation. And all you nice people have helped me immensely. But now I'm going through another matter. Thirteen days ago I came down with shingles. The rash started on my back around my left shoulder blade and moved under my arm and onto my left breast. I can

shingles vax
I’ve tapered down to 5mg of prednisone over the last 8 months and so far my PMR is at acceptably low levels. I’ve been offered the shingles vaccine and wondering whether to have it. What is your advice?

I did contact the Gp straight away and they prescribed antiviral medication..I took this straight away ..suffering nerve pain as well and Dr prescribed me some gabapentin. So it's a few more meds to add to the tablets I'm.already taking

Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

Shingles Vaccine Update
Well I never!! I woke to a text message from our GP's surgery to say that I am eligible for a shingles vaccination with a link to book in with a nurse. My GP's obviously looked up the guidelines & though better of her decision! I'm just hoping that after the fight to get it I don't have any adverse

Dog bite not on my Xmas list
So… today, while walking my Old English Sheepdog, three dogs escaped from their leashes and one of them bit my leg. They also tried to bite my dog but because most of her is fur they didn’t reach flesh. I, however, went home and did a cursory clean with hydrogen peroxide and went to urgent care. They

‼️ Did you know that around half of melanoma cases arise on the lower limb, yet melanoma of the foot and lower leg has an outstanding misdiagnosis rate of 36%! Acral lentiginous melanoma of the plantar surface is the only type of melanoma which arises equally across all skin types and late or misdiagnosis

Had circumcision, the “important stitch” popped (Dorsal slit).
Got a circumcision From day 2 after taking the wrap off I noticed a small open wound created by one of the sutures leading into the prepuce near the corona. as well as sutures with strange knot formations with smaller less noticeable wounds. One of the strange knot formations is where the open cut

Skin cancer
I am now in my mid-sixties and was diagnosed with CLL four years; I remain on watch and wait. At around the same time I started getting multiple lesions on my face; some were cancerous and required skin grafts, some were not. At my last appointment with the plastic surgeon I asked why I keep getting

Lorazepam experiences for one-off use
hi Just wondering if anybody has experience of taking a small dose of lorazepam before a surgical procedure done under a local anaesthetic. I am having a MOHs procedure for skin cancer (bcc) on my nose in two weeks and quite frankly I am terrified. the procedure involves taking layers and examining

CELLULITIS
Has anyone had cellulitis? I have had it for just over a week and have just completed a 7 day course of Flucloxacillin. I did not see a doctor - just had to post a photo of my leg, so haven't had the opportunity of discussing it with him. From the web it sounds quite serious, but don't like taking

‼ The lesion featured in this post may look like eczema or benign skin lesion, but it is in fact a melanoma! In rarer cases, all types of melanoma can lack pigmentation – these are known as amelanotic melanoma. Jane’s story below highlights just how important it is to get any abnormalities checked out

Always the unexpected!
I recently had to have surgery on my face for Basal Cell Carcinomas (a not too drastic skin problem from sun damage). As I have multiple health issues the surgeon decided on a general anaesthetic to do skin grafts. I checked in and when the anaesthetist saw me I asked if he had seen the letter from
