Experiences with

Virus infections

I was at the dentist last Thursday - not my usual one - and she was a bit rough! She split my lip in the corner and it's came out with large cold sores which are not healing! 😔 I'm considering not injecting today to give them a better chance to heal - what do you think? They're sore and I can't eat

I was 64 ( Oct 2023 ) i inquired about the shingles jab, but was refused ???

I only occasionally get Afib now following an ablation in 2020, but I had my 2nd shingles jab 3 days ago and it seems to have kicked off my afib again albeit not constantly. I just wondered if anyone else has had the same effect from the 2nd jab (as it is supposedly worse than the 1st) or is it just

Our grandson aged one is having jabs. I looked up and these are scheduled for one year olds. MMR is a weakened vaccine. Does anyone know if it’s safe to be around him as a immunosuppressed or where to find out in green book please ? Hib/MenC Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) Meningococcal

I have been told to get my pneumonia jab , i’m not worried about sore arm, but i’m just a bit concerned i might feel poorly after. I didn’t feel poorly after my flu jab or covid booster. Any reassurance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have nose bleeds but what l have also is a permanent cold and blocked nose.

back in April 2020 i had covid the first time (that was early before we knew anything) since then when i get a cold (head cold, sinus infection, common cold) i notice that i feel bad for like 3-5 days but i will have a lingering cough for like a 5-10 days afterwards. i was blaming it on covid and the

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if the Glandular Fever virus could be linked with PMR? I contracted GF and Hepatitis B of the Liver in 2005, it took me 3 years to get over it and live my life normally, I took no drugs, it really was a case of rest and gentle exercise, the Drs warned me if I didn't

I have CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia etcMy previous doctor from when I moved new what I had etc. I have had shingles maybe three times. But I can't understand why they have message my husband, who is younger then me and as diabetes for the first time for a shingles injections and he as never had shingles? Any

Hello Again. Has anyone had an epidural steroid injection for shingles pain? I am scheduled for one and I'm scared. I have had trigger point injections in the past, but those go into muscle where this would go to the nerves that shingles infect. This doctor is very good at what she does so I have no

I am so worried now, our FET is this Thursday and some nasty cold got me this weekend. I am afraid to take any cold/flu meds so it won't mess up with my lining etc 🙈 Has anyone been not well before or during transfer and it affected the outcome?

I have been on the Trimbow three weeks now and it does seem to be working , I noticed I was walking faster and the use of my ventolin is much reduced . I still have a chesty cough lingering on after a cold but no infection , I need to ask the question does Trimbow make you cough? Just wondered as I

I'm an SLL patient, 55 years old, now about 2.5 years into remission after 6 FCR treatments. I just recovered from a recent (and thankfully mild) bout of shingles. My shingles was so mild that my GP wasn't convinced it actually was shingles! She had me tested for herpes zoster antibodies, and for good

Hi first time posting - hoping someone can help! I’m basically after some advice in knowing when to ask for an inhaler. 40 y old female fit and healthy until last September when I got severe pneumonia. One lung was a white out with atelectasis (bits inside the lung dying; they’re still dead) and the

just a thought I wanted to put out there and see what everyone else thinks… I am now prescribed T4 and T3 and it has been a bit of a life changer for me. Previous to the T3 being added, I was on mono T4 for years. To get out of bed and function, I had to have my T4 over range, whilst my T3 was scrapping

Supposed to see ms dr tomorrow to discuss pushing O back to 6 months I’ve been on 5 month. X-ray showed Mass on lungs which is either pneumonia or the big

I just wanted to ask about this, as had pain in the nose/cold only on the right side, (which has since gone) all round the eyes, and top of the nose, which I am guessing is Sinusitis? The odd thing is, is that all I can smell is what can only be described as 'cow sh*t' whenever I blow my nose, or sometimes

Hi folks, just been sent a link for the Shingles Vaccine, is this something anyone else has had. I wasn't aware that when taking Methotrexate this was possible. Unfortunately I can never get through to my surgery to ask the question. Thank you
