Shingles following AF
hi folks - seen a few posts recently about shingles and wondered about my own experience and if anyone had the same. I had an episode of AF in February which lasted 5.5hrs HR up to 182, next day a rash appeared on my collarbone and it turned out to be shingles. Cardiologist said it’s quite possible that

Small Airways Disease
I had an infection the end of Jan (still not sure what it was - maybe RSV). Didn’t really start like a cold but airways closed up & excessive mucus. Mucus tested & nothing so no antibiotics. Things slowly got worse, although I was continuing to exercise to clear my chest of mucus (my primary issues is

Famotidine
I have been on 20mg of Famotidine for about a year, over the past 6 months while taking Famotidine I seem to have developed heartburn has any one else suffered with heartburn while on Famotidine? I was on Omeprazole previously for nearly 3 years without any problems but a blood test revealed low sodium

Shingles vaccine and atrial fibrillation
Hi, My GP is recommending shingles vaccine. I am just concerned if it will cause atrial fibrillation. Any one had shingles vaccines with no adverse effects like atrial fibrillationThanks Padma

Shingles
I posted over 9 weeks ago about my shingles outbreak. I still have horrible pain and can't stand clothing even to touch me. I have had 2 epidurals for the pain and they didn't even help at all. Someone wrote back and said that they had shingles since last December and I couldn't find the post. If you

Week 3 done
I finished week 3! Very happy to have made it this far! Up to 3 minute runs. The routine is going well although it's becoming more challenging to get out into this freezing cold weather!! The week has once again progressed with even more health news. I had some abnormal blood tests that indicate I do

Next instalment. I thought I`d better do this now before I start working.
In fact, I don't remember ever seeing my dad drunk, except for one occasion when he had had, perhaps, an excess of drink. We were on a family holiday in Ireland, in a horse drawn caravan, which in itself was an experience, especially for the horse as we had no prior experience whatsoever of the care

Is it discoid lupus?
Hi fellow lupus warriors I posted a few weeks ago about an ulcer on my leg that wouldn't heal. After oral antibiotics that had no effect, the Dr found a stronger antibiotic cream that cleared up the infection. Hooray! But in the meantime I keep getting more bumps. I thought it was a coincidence,

State of the NHS
I’m posting this just to highlight the difficulties the NHS is in at the moment, I’m a 75 year old asthmaric and have had a cold and chesty cough for nearly 3 weeks. I finally decided this wasn’t going to clear up by itself. There was no way I was going to get an appointment with my GP any time soon.

Travelling with interferon/pegasys
Hi , I have just recently started on the pegasys weekly injections . I am travelling to Greece and wonder if anyone can recomend the best way to keep the medication at the correct temperature whilst flying and travelling. Is there a chargeable medication box which I could charge using a battery pack

Methotrexate or Prednisone which is more damaging?(also update on eyes)
Hi, it's me again. During an eye exam, I was told my optic nerve was narrow, and that I needed to be seen asap due to the risk of blindness with GCA. I got in to see a neuro ophthalmologist who told me that my optic nerve isn't narrow, it's just turned on an angle. Probably from my connective disease

Skin problems at low dose
I was so happy to finally get down to 5mg after 4+ years PMR and GCA...though attempts to get below this are so far not working but I am being patient. However 6 weeks ago I woke up to an itchy rash on my back and still have it. Diagnosed via photos and text with gp (4 week wait for f2f appt) as eczema

Streptococcal Bacterial Meningitis
Hi, everyone! I was admitted to the hospital on March 11 and diagnosed with Streptococcal Bacterial Meningitis and hospitalized for 17 days. Just released last Thursday. This was all brought on by an ear infection that I guess turned into meningitis. I had all the tests and scans and was told I was lucky

Interferon and the liver
question to all my MPN people on here who are taking pegasys or besremi, how do you manage elevated liver enzymes? Do they cycle up and down? Is there anything we can do to bring them down? What is acceptable to y’all? My hematologist says not to worry until they hit 2-300.. My blood numbers actually

Stopping Actemra
Good day all: Well, I called and canceled my Actemra infusion for today. I was recently diagnosed with something called MGRS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of renal Significance), It is related to Multiple Myeloma. I start chemotherapy for the MGRS next week, which is the same as the chemo for full
