I had a medical crisis, I didn't die, I wonder why
Last summer I had a medical emergency. The odds were it would kill me but I survived with few life threatening consequences. The problems I had are commonly fatal for 80 year old men. There is a message in my experience which I hope to share with you in this article. It is a bit longer than most

Sore perineum and vulvar
I have a pudendal nerve entrapment diagnosis of 8 years now but recently the pain from the anal area has now moved to my vaginal area causing really bad pain in vagina, vulva and perineum. I was given hormone cream to insert by gp as she thought it was menopausal symptoms. This didn't work. I revisited

My GCA Update
I just got done with my MRIs and MRAs, so we’ll see if results show much. My blood test came back with sed rate normal (always has been) and C-reactive prrotein headed down. It went from normal in PMR, to 1.3 and then 2.0 in GCA. Now at 0.8, so barely high and heading in the right direction. Still feeling

COPD and Pneumonia
Hello. My mom has severe COPD and got out of the hospital last week after a 3 week stay for pneumonia. She’s had COPD for 16 years and just went on O2 about a year ago. She’s always done well with the COPD and never had an exacerbation until the pneumonia. I know it can take a very long time for the

Heavy cold
Apologies if this seems quite trivial but I have had a heavy cold for the past 2/3 days which at present is getting worse. Have tested negative for Covid so no concerns about that so I’m just wondering whether to miss my medication tomorrow or whether it won’t make any difference. I take 20mg MTX but

I got covid and went to hospital. They said I have severe heart failure. Since leaving hospital my pro bnp level has dropped significantly. I think the covid caused the heart failure. Anyone hear of that happening?

I am off Pred since April, but do I still have PMR?
After 15 months on Pred. I managed to wean myself off them. I always had aches and tiredness, but as it was not unbearable and I rested a lot I thought this was better than remaining on steroids. I stopped the steroids beginning of April ‘23. I still feeel tired all the time, and I am slow and

Advice please! re inhalers, steroids, personality, voice... and breathing balance.
Any advice? I have been diagnosed with asthma. I also have past sinus polyps and take pantoprazole for stomach acid. I feel like I have inflammation from my ears to my insides. I get quite wheezy but mostly in throat and upper chest - sometimes sounds like I have a little bird cheeping in my throat

I have had tinnitus for a couple of years now. It started, I believe, with a bout of COVID. I had COVID for the 3rd time in October 2023 and the tinnitus has and is continuing to get worse. It's constant buzzing sound with clicking noises and now earache.

Bad cold sore should I wait to inject Methotrexate?
I was at the dentist last Thursday - not my usual one - and she was a bit rough! She split my lip in the corner and it's came out with large cold sores which are not healing! 😔 I'm considering not injecting today to give them a better chance to heal - what do you think? They're sore and I can't eat

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
For all you folks who have Lupus, please be careful of this ‘100’ day cough that is going around at the moment, as this is what caused me to end up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Lupus in February 2022. I’ve had a rough ride for the past few years, ending up in hospital every year for one thing

AFib after 2nd Shingles jab
I only occasionally get Afib now following an ablation in 2020, but I had my 2nd shingles jab 3 days ago and it seems to have kicked off my afib again albeit not constantly. I just wondered if anyone else has had the same effect from the 2nd jab (as it is supposedly worse than the 1st) or is it just

Bronchoscopy
My mom was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately 10 days of antibiotics were ineffective. She had a bronchoscopy today and while waiting for results, I was wondering if anybody else was in the same situation and what did the bronchoscopy show?

Meh running
I've finished Week 3 of the NRC plan to get to 10k. I did a fiddly-pace run on Saturday and a 6k run on Monday. The 6k in 43 minutes was fine, a there and back run with an extra mini-loop, but it felt as though there was plenty in the tank. Today I started Week 4 with a 30 minute "recovery" run - 4.5k
