Long Covid and vagus nerve inflammation - symptoms etc.
Hi everyone, It's a lovely sunny day here in Leeds and I've just had a 14 hour sleep. I hope you are all OK. Having had Covid whilst in hospital I'm interested in Long Covid and how its symptoms mirror those of Enc. Plus any findings on vax side effects. Some of you may share my curiosity so here is

Steroids not working?
I’ve just had a 5 day rescue course of prednisolone due to an asthma flare. However, my peak flow is still only about 70% and I have an itchy, scratchy throat and cough. I don’t actually have a cold so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve never had a course of steroids before where it hasn’t made me completely

Lipoid pneumonia
Earlier this year I had serious nose bleeds resulting in hospital admissions and cautery. Subsequently seen by ENT consultant who advised daily insertion of Vaseline into nostrils to prevent them drying out and possible further bleeds. Since then I found on the internet (various reputable sites)

Progesterone pesserys?
I came across a thread earlier and just wanted to see what the general consensus is as I'm a little baffled last year I had a an awful experience a year later decided to have another go of icsi, but I'm cautious. I had a cancer scare whilst starting my stims resulting in egg collection only being taken

second time lucky ?
Can I hope for a totally different result? Has anyone gone from NOTHING first round and then had a decent result on the second round? As I approach my second nhs icsi cycle I’m anxious, nervous and hopeful that I will get a better result this time. We collected three eggs which were quite small

Amitriptyline
Hi all, I've had ibs -c for many years. Last year I was in so much pain in my hips my doc sent me for an xray it turned out to be an impingement. My doc gave me amitriptyline as a painkiller. Oh my word they worked wonders. I was regular as clockwork no bloating. I had been on a diet with no weight loss

Upon losing my father , some retrospect. Take what you need and leave the rest.
Tysm for all. Unfortunately my dad's death was long and horrifying bc he couldn't breathe . He died of leukemia to my knowledge, not prostate cancer and please dont jump on me for saying so bc I am vaxxed and I'm not an anti vaxxer,but I have no doubt that that the vaccines sped up his demise as he got

Covid
It was my understanding that if you had an underlying health condition like Lupus you could be prescribed anti viral medication if you tested positive with COVID. I contacted my doctor today and he said lupus wasn’t on the list of serious underlying health conditions and that GPs don’t prescribe the

Covid or chest infection?
I started with covid at the weekend. The last few days I've had a chesty cough, and today it's producing thick yellow mucus.My peak flow is low, I have on and off tightness, especially after coughing & SoB. Before covid, my asthma hadn't be that controlled, but I hadn't got so far as seeing the GP.

Seeking a good travel insurance company for rheumatoid arthritis
Just wondered if anyone has any advise on travel companies they have used that covers rheumatoid arthritis. Also I noticed that for Corona virus cover you have to be up to date with COVID vaccines and unfortunately I missed the spring booster so any advise for cover would be gratefully received. Many

Study: Stress affects the effectiveness of vaccines

A significant link between behavioral stress and the effectiveness of vaccines
