Beta Alanine: STOPS or STARTS itch?
Considering trying Beta Alanine to stop my PV itch, but every time I Google what makes it STOP itch (i.e., how does it work?), all I come up with are articles that say it STARTS itch! Did anyone w/ PV, AP, etc. have their itch actually intensify by taking BA? Also curious if anyone happens to know

My dad graduated from ICU today! Severe Pneumonia
Hello, Everyone: I have posted here about my dad who is in his late 70s. At the end of August, he was admitted to the hospital to remove a small benign cyst from his throat and two days after the surgery, he choked on water and yogurt that were served and developed aspirational pneumonia. Since it

Delay starting hydrea for vaccines?
Unfortunately, this question came to me after I saw the doctor. A month ago, I was referred to a hematologist for abdominal pain, abnormal CBC and splenomegaly. This week, after finding JAK2 and a confirmatory bone marrow analysis, the doctor prescribed 500mg HU per day for PV and scheduled a return

Can I transmit Covid19 if I have recovered?
I live at home, and tested positive for Covid 9 days ago, and did not isolate from my parents during this time. I am now testing negative, and have plans with my girlfriend this weekend. However, it turns out my parents have now tested positive and I still have cold symptoms (even with a neg test).

Dry achey eyes
I have ET Calr diagnosed 5 years ago on Hydroxycarbamide. Recently I have had problems with my eyes. Very achey, dry, frequent styes. My GP gave me eyedrops for the dry eyes, which have helped but the eye ache is still a problem. Anyone else experienced this?

update on knee pain
As most of you will probably know, I injured my knee on holiday at the end of June, when my knee would buckle. Over the months Drs have always been more concerned that my back or pelvis was injured with a fall in the shower, due to the knee buckling. I had CT scans and MRIof the spine and pelvis, but

Post Covid for a Cllier
Came down with Covid 7 days ago - like a horrid bout of flu. Managed to get anti virals sent by the hospital on the second day at 10pm- great service Chelsea and Westminster hospital. Now tested negative yesterday but still got heavy cold and sore throat and feel weak. When will it go away??

COVID Vaccination and Chest pain
Is anyone out there concerned that there might be a link between COVID booster vaccinations and chest pain. I've posted before about my condition but here's a recap - In December 21, about 10 days after a Pfizer booster, I started to develop chest pain at rest and a burning sensation down my left arm

I'm looking for some reassurance or support. I was in contact with my 9 year old nephew yesterday. He had no symptoms but we spent a good length of time in same room together watching TV with minimal ventilation. Last night he got up with a fever and tested positive for covid on an LFT this morning.

Mouth thrush
Does anyone else suffer from thrush in the mouth, due to taking antibiotics. I think l may have it as my tongue is coated in white and l have lost a lot of my sense of taste. I have just started taking colomycin in Nebuliser for pseudomonas infection.
