Trying to understand tests
I just had a positive antibody test for hep C. However, the PCR did not detect antibodies. I think this means I had hep C in the past (though I didn't know it), but don't have now. Do I still need treatment?

Lots of flu going around!
My neighbor who is a nurse practitioner told me she has never seen so many flu cases this early in the season. She saw 21 patients on Wednesday and 11 tested positive for the flu. I had putting off the flu shot, wanted to do Covid booster first but she urged me to get my flu shot sooner rather than

PIPS and COPD
Hi everyone. Will my PIPS be affected if I still smoke? I’m trying so hard to give up by slowly tapering off and have reduced my smoking by two thirds with the method I came up with after numerous attempts over 20 years to stop. My cravings for nicotine were just as bad every day even after two years

Big, big trouble Houston
I’m 60 now but a guy so I’m still prone to daft things like buying Microsoft Flight Simulator. I flew a 747 the other day and blimey did it let me know when I tried a questionable manoeuvre. Red lights, Commercial Airliner Crash Warning sirens etc. Well it’s sort of a metaphor for me currently. Some

I have heart anxiety.
I currently have a cold which really triggers my anxiety. I also recently started cpap treatment also (it's on hold while I get through this). My issues right now are feeling sick but no runny nose, cough, or fever. So my anxiety is that it's something else and not a cold. That of course makes me think

Monocytosis?
Hey folks, I searched but saw no other posts on this. Yesterday had my 6 month check up, new doc, didn't review tests with me but summarized. This morning I saw online that my monocytes have gone sky high (2.0 versus .4 etc.) registering as high on the test as well (in fact, they spike to the same

doxy for chlamydia
I recently tested positive for chlamydia :( I’ve been trying to crush Doxy and have it with meals or beverage like coffee. Since I have a fear for swallowing tablets or capsules. The first dosage didn’t work. I’m trying again, this time emptying the capsules in meals. I’m still experiencing pelvic pain

Flu and PMR
Hello everyone, It's been a while since I posted but wanted to know if anyone else has had the same reaction. A couple of weeks ago I started getting ague, felt ghastly, though i had flu and went to bed. I am currently on 1mg Pred every other day (having had PMR for seven years). I ended up feeling

Canesten solution
Hello everyone. My ear has been sore & itchy for a month - following trying NHS hearing aids. GP prescribed Canesten - which I've used before. The pharmacy say it's out of stock. GP offered me Otomize - which I'd rather not use. I 've tried to buy Canesten from chemist direct but there's no sign of it

Evusheld-Flu-Covid Injections In Two Weeks Timeframe
15 days ago, I received my second round of Evusheld. It had been 6 months since my first round of injections and the effectiveness was wearing down. Yesterday, I went to my nearby HEB grocery pharmacy and received the "senior" flu shot in my left arm and the new Moderna Covid shot in my right arm.
