Recurrent meningitis
Hi, I'm looking to connect or share experiences with anyone who has had multiple cases of meningitis and is currently at risk of meningitis due to a csf leak? My csf leak is from a traumatic injury and I've had 3 surgical attempts to fix the leak. I've had 2 cases of meningitis, and both were before

Spotting early and slow slow periods
Hi, I’ve been trying to conceive for a few years now and have done a couple of unsuccessful ivf cycles. I have tons of eggs and respond very well to treatment. However, I don’t think I am “normal”. We’ve identified quite severe male factor issues and so went for ICSI and we ought to be having another

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Paxlovid for “mild” COVID?
hello all. Just wondering what your experiences have been regarding taking Paxlovid. I realize you can’t advise but I would love to hear from fellow immune suppressed types like me. I have taken it before but when I had it last year I felt pretty bad and taking the Paxlovid was a no brainer. This time

(SENSITIVE) Do we try again?
I’m 36, so lucky to have two beautiful, healthy children (both ICSI babies), but I had always dreamed of three. I don’t want this to come across as insensitive in anyway (the reason for our infertility is as a result of years of chemotherapy my husband endured, after being diagnosed with an aggressive

Back to square one
Hi, I first started having coughing problems back in November 2022 when I caught what I thought was just a bad cold or covid, I was getting phlegm stuck in my airways which was tough to get out when coughing, and sometimes I struggled to breath. Sometimes to the point where I actually cried because

I was diagnosed with GPA in 2017, I have had 3 flares since initial diagnosis and although the symptoms have got milder each time, I always have the same symptoms - pain and loss of hearing in my ear, discomfort and blood in my nose, pain and stiffness in my finger joints and extreme fatigue.

I have been on here a few times and Jools and Sue saved my sanity! Other's have also been so kind so, thank you...again! I do have another question which I'm sure Jools and Sue can help me with.

Confused about the NHS process for IVF
Hello My husband (age 37) and I (age 32) have been referred to the local infertility service via my GP in Leicestershire. My husband has severe oligospermia, so we were told by the embryologist that we would need ICSI. Also, my AMH is only 9pmol/l. I'm confused about what happens next... I've been

Sleep aids
Hoping that people can pass on what they use to help sleep with T. Realise there are likely to be a number of replies through various posts, but be good to hear what works for people on this thread if possible. ..on another note are steroids likely to spike tinnitus? Just finishing a 5 day course prescribed

Flare after Shingrix shingles vaccine?
Hi Everyone, I received my second (recombinant) shingles vaccine yesterday. The first one caused a mild fever and malaise. This time my finger joints are stiff and pretty painful. Has anyone else had something similar and, if so, how long did it last? Thanks so much

chest infection symptoms
hi, I have a diagnosis of bronchiectasis which doesn’t usually cause me any problems. I’ve just had a cold which has left me with a slight cough but nothing major. However, after starting to feel better I feel like my chest is tight and have found myself getting breathless when walking my dog. I’ve

COVID-19
Been battling Covid for 17 days. I am negative but have a lot of physical issues achy big time. Always exhausted. No motivation. Starting to take a toll on me mentally. Doctor says that sometimes it takes weeks or months to get rid of everything. I hate feeling like this
