Shingles Vaccination
I have PV for 8 years and taking Hydroxycarbimine 1 G, asprin. I have just turned 70 and am eligible for the shingles vaccine. As this a live virus is it safe? Thanks

Why don't Doctors recognise the chronic after effects of Meningitis?
Hi Everyone. So I'm sat watching the news and they are talking about the effects of 'Long Covid'. Doctors are actually recognising the chronic symptoms patients are experiencing and planning how to improve their care. Covid has been around how long? How about Doctors listening to the Chronic symptoms

Has anyone had meningitis more than once? How do you cope?

I also had it when I was 9 years old due to having the vaccine, this form was viral meningitis but I was still hospitalised. I also lost my

Any studies on longterm effects of live shingles vaccine and PMR
I was wondering if anyone knows of any studies that have been done about those of us that contracted PMR after taking the live shingles vaccine. I wonder if PMR will last as long in our system as the shingles vaccine antibodies are active in our system? The pharmacist says the antibodies last 5+years

Shingles vaccine. Hi am am ETJak2+, I am unable to have the live shingles vaccine with nhs, but I have read that there is an inert vaccine available. Has anyone had this on the nhs and if so how did you achieve it. Thank you in advance.

Bad nails
Does anyone have problems with their nails? The white part of the nails are getting bigger where the nail is not attached to my finger. The nails are also very thin and brittle so I can’t grow them long I just have to hide it with nail varnish as they look awful.

Viral meningitis last month
Last month, July 2020, I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after being misdiagnosed with covid (by two different md). So it went on for about 11 days before being diagnosed at the tail end of it. Now, a month later I am still having grogginess and eye spots, major fatigue. Several other lingering symptoms

Toenails and PsA (there is a photo)
When I first saw the rheumy, he asked about issues with my toenails and I said no. My nails aren’t exactly attractive, but they’ve been the way they are now for so long that I didn’t give it a second thought. My finger nails all have very faint vertical lines with sparse but fairly regular splinter haemorrhages

Supplements for losing toe nails?
I’m sure I’ve read that being Hashimotos can cause issues with nail plates / beds. Ever now and again I lose toe nails and have recently been hyper and lost another nail again. I also have skin growing over the sides of my nails which is annoying. Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything that

Any particular concerns about having a boil on shoulder and primary lymphoedema affecting lower limbs?
Probably coincidence, but in 2016 I first developed lymphoedema symptoms in my right foot and leg. Shortly afterwards I had a very nasty boil on my shoulder which lasted several months but eventually (with help of antibiotics) get better but left a large scar. Now another boil has developed where

PMR dose reduction following hospital stay for cellulitis
I have had a bad bout of cellulitis and am on IV antibiotics for past week. On admission to hospital in AandE they upped my dose from 4mg to 10mg. If I am on this higher dose for let’s say just 10 days while I am on IV antibiotics how quickly can I drop back to usual dose? Do I need slow reduction

Ticks/Lyme disease and hypothyroidism
I have just removed two ticks, two others broke off and the mouth part remains stuck in me. I have seen things on here before about ticks in relation to thyroid, but have never read them because I’ve never had one attached before. I presume I need to see a nurse to get the remains removed? Will it be

Anxiety Spiraling Out of Control
Shakiness. Nausea. Trouble breathing from the noment I open my eyes to the moment I go to sleep. It feels like I’m drowning, despite my oxygen saturation reading 100% on my oximeter. I wake up and the feeling is immediately there with me. Lungs feeling tight, chest heavy and sore, throat closing sensation

Impetigo and lupus?
Hi all, Hope you’re keeping well and safe I was just wondering if anyone else had suffered from impetigo as well as having lupus? I’ve just had my second round in the last 6 months, and I used to get it a lot when I was younger, especially stressed Thanks! Caroline
