Baseline figure from lung function test
After 10 days post hospital admission with pneumonia I went to have a lung function test at my local hospital. The result of the test was 438 a new baseline. My usual top peak flow is 500 (very unused as it doesn't match my height, sex and ethnicity) I should be blowing 420. One explanation was that

Being taking off Pegasys. :( Looking for alternatives
Hi all, I have ET & PV with Jak2. I am 40. I have been on aspirin for over 10 years, but had to start Pegasys 3 months ago. I haven't tolerated it well. Severe shortness of breath etc. My hematologist reduced my dose to 30 per week, but I am suffering with hypertension (150 to 69/96 on average) and

Anybody left with servere virtigo after covid ?
I caught covid after visiting the hospital for an MRI to look at my gastric issues. The virus hit my balance to the extent I wasn't able to walk unaided which I have to say was very disturbing to say the least. Since the virus has cleared I have suffered a few events of vertigo ! I am not the steadiest

Sharp pains in head - lupus related or something else?
Hi all, I have general nerve pain in my head ever since I had concussion and whiplash seven years ago - so I'll get fibromyalgia shoulders and pains travelling up my scalp, particularly the right side. It's not that troublesome. But since I had my Covid jab three weeks ago I've had a few episodes

Baby Athletes Foot
My baby is 5 months old and I think he may have athletes foot if that’s at all possible!

Is there anything over the

Bloody Covid can sod off!
Hi All, Had heart attack/ stent fitted 10 weeks ago & still struggling with side effects of medication. Dropped down to 1 Bisoprolol instead of 2 & this temporarily stopped the dizzy spells & light headedness. But within a couple of weeks they were back again & I just feel like crap most of the time

Rituximab
does anyone have any advice about the effect of the COVID vaccine on Rituximab. I had my first infusion in July which has been successful for me and given me a pain free life. So don’t want to ‘mess it up by risking Covid vaccine if it has a negative effect. thanks

Covid vaccine during tapering down PMR?
Thanks so much for the valuable responses, which I am studying ongoing,to my previous posts. I was dubious about the Covid vaccine possibly bringing back my PMR symptoms. Having read the posts here I am largely reassured, but I would like to check for my own circumstances. I have never had a problem

Lunch chat about vaccines
I've just been out to lunch with a u3a group, all getting on in years and many with various medical complaints. Some at my end of the table were saying that they are [i]not[/i] having any more Covid jabs as 'they had had enough' now and had declined the appointments that they had been offered. I tried
