friend has shingles - advice please
hi, Can I have some advice please. my friend who is a beautician is scheduled to do a facial & nails for me tomorrow. I’ve had chicken pox and her Dr has said she shouldn’t pass it in because it’s on her bottom and she won’t be touching it so in that respect it’s in a good place. Any thoughts? Thank

Cough after embryo transfer
Hi All, I had my 6th embryo transfer yesterday and this time I’m being treated with an immune protocol including steroids and other drugs.

Here is the link: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/thy.2023.0626#xd_co_f=ZDI1NTIxNTEtYzdiZi00ZDRiLWI2ZjAtYTVlYjk1YTdiY2M4
