Hi, so after feeling pretty rubbish yesterday with a sore throat, spiking temp and barking sounding cough, today I have tested positive for Covid on a lateral flow after avoiding the damn thing for 3 years! I have asthma, so am understandably worrying! I am waiting for a call back from GPs as my peak

VLDL results - confusing
For the last five years or so, I’ve had slightly high cholesterol , e.g. 5.7 mmol/l total, 3.4 LDL but good 1.9 HDL, 0.9 triglycerides and total/HDL ratio of 3. I get tested once a year or so. I’m not overweight and am active, etc., but I do want to bring that LDL down and made a few changes such as

LDN for RLS??
I wonder if others know about LDN? I just found out that it maybe can help RLS. LDN, in case you’re unfamiliar, is “Low Dose Naltrexone”. It’s an older medication that has to be compounded into a tiny therapeutic dose for use “off label”. It’s a known to be both an anti-inflammatory medication and

What is Normal
I am on fostair 100 under the mart regime. Most weeks I get one major asthma attack taking me down to approx 50 percent of my peak flow, cannot walk or talk, and the rest of the week more minor attacks daily. The major attacks are a little scary for me, and very scary for my wife. Under the mart regime

Chest soreness
Hi Everyone, I hope you are all doing ok out there. I've had a tickly, slightly irritated upper airway for the past week and went for a jog on Monday, just slow, and since then my chest had been quite tight and is sore. I was wondering whether anyone has any tips on how to deal both mentally and physically

benralizumab (fasedra)
I am keen to hear of experiences with benralizumab including side-effects and the length of time it’s remained effective (or whether it stopped working after a while). Also whether it has enabled people to come off oral steroids and bronchodilators. I was diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma,

Prensidone
I was hospitalised a couple of weeks ago with a severe attack taking me down to 150. They let me out with 5 days of prensidone. My peak flow is now an amazing 650, most mornings pre meds, which is better than my previous best of 622! However regular attacks take me down to 400, and any exercise like

Raised Creatinine in urine
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in January and am now down to 4.5mg prednisolone. Having piled on the pounds at first I have been on a low carb diet since March. I do eat quite a bit of meat and a recent urine dip stick test showed raised creatinine. Could this be caused by high protein/low carb
