Where should I go from here? Reduced by doc from 6 Pred to 2 and now suffering
Having been told by 3 doctors to try to get off Prednisolone so I could be assessed by specialist at hospital (as no doctor felt able to confirm I really had PMR although on steroids for 2 years!) I reduced from 6 to 2 Pred in 8 weeks. Result: much itching when reducing down from 4 to 3 and now, at 2

‼ The lesion featured in this post may look like eczema or benign skin lesion, but it is in fact a melanoma! In rarer cases, all types of melanoma can lack pigmentation – these are known as amelanotic melanoma. Jane’s story below highlights just how important it is to get any abnormalities checked out

My rheumy tele-consultation due to Covid.
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope you all enjoy much better health in 2024. An update. A couple of weeks back I had a tele-consultation with my rheumy as I had Covid. This was my 1st encounter with Covid after 3 years and 8 months! On the tele-consult app I was able to upload a brief resumé of my last

Nasal / Sinus problems and Bad Smell?
I just wanted to ask about this, as had pain in the nose/cold only on the right side, (which has since gone) all round the eyes, and top of the nose, which I am guessing is Sinusitis? The odd thing is, is that all I can smell is what can only be described as 'cow sh*t' whenever I blow my nose, or sometimes

Covid Injections for April 2024
Hi Everyone. Has anybody received a letter yet about their April Covid jab? You follow the NHS App and it brings up an out of date link telling you about Autumn 2023 jabs. It then tells you further down that the page will be updated in 2026. I just looked on my personal NHS account and nowhere can

We finally have a new Evusheld!
The FDA recently granted an emergency use authorization for a new Covid prophylactic for the immunocompromised. It's called Pemgarda and it is administered intravenously. It's like the former Evusheld in that it gives us antibodies (which is great for those of us who don't respond well to Covid vaccines

Sadly Not Just Thyroid Patients
I've been following the infected blood scandal with interest, basically thousands of patients in the 70's, 80's and early 90's were given blood transfusions/ products that were cheaply imported, often from USA, and not screened for Hep C. This was to save the NHS money. Unfortunately many people became

Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

To circumcise or not to circumcise
Hi I'm 45, fit, not smoking, very little alcohol, regular exercise. Few years ago I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis by a leading UK expert in genital dermatology prof Bunker. I didn't have any severe symptoms just some small red spots but no pain etc. at least not visible to me but he was confident

Ramipril
I thought I would share with you my experience of a cough due to ramipril in case it helps someone else as I didn’t believe it would cause such an awful cough. I was prescribed ramipril after having a HA in July last years. No side effects at all. I got an awful cold in November which also came with

Hello! I just want to give this update about my situation. I hope people on here find this because my situation was a nightmare and I think this can help people who are confused and not sure what to do or if they'll ever be able to tolerate antibiotics again (TL;DR: you will be able to if you can heal

Periodontal Abscess while on Prednisone
Hello to the group. I have just developed an abscess on the gum of a tooth that had a root canal and crown done 2 years ago. I saw a different person in my dentist’s practice today who confirmed the abscess and said I should go back asap to the endodontist who did the original root canal for either
