Covid and steroid increase
I’m sure this has been answered before so apologies. I have Covid and on 2.75mg of steroids. Should I increase for few days or should I see how it goes? Thanks

IVIG - how soon does it benefit?
My husband - CLL, on Calquence since April 2021 - has begun a schedule of monthly IVIG, mainly because he had 2 life threatening infections late spring/early summer (staph that went rogue, followed by c. Diff thanks to months of antibiotics). His ID doc has said that the IG may likely have Covid antibodies

Covid Antivirals
Hi, if we get Covid is it still advisable for us to ask for the antivirals or is it so mild now that patients with blood cancers don’t need them? Suzy

Pneumonia Vaccine - Who Can Have it?
Hi everybody, it’s been a bit of a tough 10 days. Things have been going well but a week last Thursday I started getting flashes in my left eye and loads of floaters, optician referred me and went to hospital to have laser treatment on some retinal tears, because the NHS have difficulty managing appointments

Pneumonia recovery / Bronchiectasis - what is what? Questions! Thank you
Hello everyone ! Background: I am five weeks post-pneumonia diagnosis. Mild bronchiectasis was diagnosed in both lower lobes (but only partially) one week post-infection. Had pneumonia also 11 months prior - many chest infections in previous years. Questions: Could the mil bronchiectasis be pseudo-bronchiectasis

The forgotten half million?
We went from Shielding to being High Risk to being Vulnerable. Are we now the Forgotten? I ask, because we were told that the Autumn vaccination programme was starting on 18th September, and I started to hear of people getting appointments and inoculations but from my knowledge of their condition and

Dentist and antibiotics?

Cycle buddies?
