Experiences with

Virus infections

I began my first cycle of IVF back in the summer of 2020. Whilst in treatment and injecting Gonal F, I started having tonsil stones. These are debris that builds up and sit in your tonsils causing some discomfort. I ended up doing 4 rounds of IVF so obviously the drugs/hormones messed up my body somewhat

I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened

Hi, I tested positive on 15th December and was positive for 14 days. It attacked my lungs this time and was bad. From day 1 I was prescribed steroids and a 2 week course of Docyciclyne to take alongside my nebuliser. I’m now on my third course of steroids and my peak flow is still only about 310. Heart

Hi ladies 💖 I’m currently down regulating with for my third cycle of IVF with ICSI and the only change in protocol is that when I start stims it will be with menopur rather than ovaleap. My previous 2 cycles with ovaleap resulted in: Cycle 1: 18 eggs, 12 mature, 6 fertilised and 2 blasts which were

After 2 failed ICSI cycles we had a consultation with another clinic today who have today suggested use of pergoveris or meriofort for next cycle to inc number of eggs. Been on ovaleap so far. Produced 5 eggs cycle one and 7 eggs cycle two. AMH 10, I'm 38. We have known male factor and using surgically

Hi everyone, I’ve found this forum such a comfort and so helpful throughout my recent ICSI cycle so thank you. This was our third and final attempt and we’ve found out this morning that it’s failed again. I’m just after some advice as to how to cope if anyone is in a similar position as I feel completely

I am on day 20 of this cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. Not Covid, grateful for that but the amount of mucus I produce is never ending. Not running a fever but just tired of the congestion and coughing. Is there any use in seeing my doctor considering I am probably just dealing with an ordinary

Hi. I'm new here. I haven't been well since before Christmas. Initially I had a bit of a sore throat which I thought then turned into a virus- cough and sinus symptoms, shivers etc. A fortnight ago I felt pain in my chest- centre and at left hand side along ribs and behind breastbone area. Also at

After all the years I have finally caught COVID. Had a headache for a couple of days which has gone now. Not much coughing, just feel a bit achy and weak.Unfortunately, it's sent me into an afib episode although my heart rate is staying below 100bpm in fact it's hovering around 70 to 80bpm. I was concerned

as above, so far pca Adenocarcinoma in liver biopsy tissue…. Anyone have a list?

In the summer, I noticed sporadic noises in one ear. It only happened at night, when lying down to sleep. It was almost like a deep and faint squeak. It lasted 2 days and went away. Months later, after developing a sinus cold, it returned. I did not react immediately as I thought it would pass. After

UPDATE: *TW* Positive OMG, I cannot believe it... but it is POSITIVE 💫The clinic just called to confirm my HCG levels are good for what they would like to see at this stage. I know it is a long way to go, but the emotional relief at the moment is INSANE. I am trembling and cannot believe this

hi, I’ve had a cold and cough for 7 days now and having been having AF episodes lasting from 30mins - 5hours almost daily. Normally I would get an episode once a month at worst. Can colds and coughs bring on more regular occurances of AF?

Hi everyone, I’m so scared. I really need someone to tell me everything will be okay. I keep crying as I’m so distraught this has happened. My husband is amazing but can only do and say so much as this isn’t happening to him. I really need hope right now. I’m soon to be 42 and am 5 months postpartum

Hi I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with mcda twin boys through ICSI, I have selective fetal growth restriction , one twin is much smaller and getting little of the placenta , the other has abnormal blood flow through the ambilical cord which they said could turn to ttts. We have been told our best

Hello, thank you for this site. My best to all on this site for health and happiness. I’m not even sure where I may be at on this journey but am certainly scared and confused . In March of 2022 I had a kidney stone and a lung nodule was detected on right lower lobe and suggested follow up in 3 -6 months

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas .🎄 I posted just before Christmas about awful shoulder and neck pain and that I saw a private doctor who thinks my symptoms are PMR. He gave me a steroid injection. It has helped dampen down the pain. It was excruciating but has since

Hi everyone Happy New Year to you all. Can anyone answer my question if it's safe to have a steroid injection for frozen shoulder if you have open angle glaucoma? Don't know what to do. Many thanks in advance.

Testing positive for covid and am am taking a biologic.Like my head the info is a bit wooly, but I think it maybe that I should suspend the biologic until covid test is negative. Presume this is correct as i think it should make sense. Is anyone in similar circumstances able to confirm or otherwise?

Three years since I read everything about PMR and now revisiting everything. Scary. 48 hours since treatment started (60mg) and headaches almost gone and most jaw pain / difficulty gone. Except husband cooked Brussels sprouts which I struggled to eat (usually lovely then). Question: I know steroids
