Tinnitus fades after noise exposure
Hello all, hope you’re doing ok! I’ve had low frequency tinnitus for 18 months or so, some days better than others. One thing I’ve noticed is that my tinnitus almost entirely disappears after I’ve been in loud environments. I was at a gig on Monday and I forgot my loop earplugs and for 3 days and nights

Covid is lasting a long time this time round
Today I’m day 16 of testing strong positive. I caught covid visiting my hubby in hospital. I wore a mask when I visited and sanitised my hands but still caught it. My GP thinks I’ve had 2 strains as I’ve had 2 lots of symptoms. I visited the hospital on the Saturday afternoon, hubby was told that evening

Leflunomide and tapering. Update on flare this Summer
I posted in late July about getting into a yo-yo situation trying to control a flare of PMR and got excellent advice from DL which sorted it out. I've been on 3.5mg ever since (I was at 2mg when the flare started). I've tried using DSNS taper. But the PMR isn't ready to cooperate yet!On Monday I had

AF back 6 days after Covid vacc
I'd been in NSR for over 3 1/2 years following a cardioversion after 9 months of persistent AF, but I woke for the loo at 3.30am on Monday and found I was back in AF - which is so far persisting. Sigh! My first thought about the trigger was that I was dehydrated. We were staying with friends, and

It Had To Happen!! Covid-19 Strikes!
It has been 18 months since I completed my CLL Obinutuzumab plus Venclexta treatment protocol. I was in remission. I have had four Covid-19 vaccinations and two Evusheld vaccinations over that time. So, last week is the first time I ventured into the public transportation system in 2-1/2 years. I

Lisinopril, A-Fib enlarged left atrium,
I was taking Diltiazem 60 mg 12HR ER Cap 2 times a day for A-fib and hypertension. I stopped it as doctor recommended when I had to take Paxlovid for Covid. I didn't get A-fib when I didn't go back to taking the Diltiazem and have been off of it for more than 2 months. I'm thinking of taking Lisinopril

shingles vax
I’ve tapered down to 5mg of prednisone over the last 8 months and so far my PMR is at acceptably low levels. I’ve been offered the shingles vaccine and wondering whether to have it. What is your advice?

Pfizer vaccination and AF
I had a Covid Vaccination on Monday which I think triggered the longest attack of AF I have had for ages. I am ok now but very washed out. Has the Covid vaccine caused palpitations fo anyone else? Not having a vaccine again!!

CRP 220
Currently in hospital with Pneumonia. My CRP was 180 on Saturday and went up to 220 on Monday. Medics are going to do a procalcitonin blood test which I've never heard of. Could one of you very clever forum members enlighten me

Haven't ran in over 18 months
Due to pantar fasciitis I haven't ran for over 18 months. Earlier this year I tried shockwave therapy which eased the pain by about 15% Almost two weeks ago I managed to get a steroid injection. The doctor who performed the injection said it should take about two weeks to see any difference. Well after

Having no temperature
Hi, having lupus, we are prone to having lots of infections. I do not generally get a temperature with an infection as body does not fight it off. Is there anyone who does get a temperature when they are ill? I’ve currently got the flu and chest pains with a chesty cough. I have feverish symptoms with

Afib during Covid follow up
Two weeks ago, I came down with symptoms of Covid. It was not that bad, and I seem fully recovered. During the first week, I had two separate episodes of Afib. One seemed in response to a burst of coughing while sleeping and waking short of breath, but the other came on for no apparent reason. My cardiologist
