Experiences with

Virus infections

My daughter just called to tell me she was just diagnosed with covid and can't come to our family gathering😪! She's a teacher and during the school year I rarely see her--she's too far away for me to go to her! This comes on top of the news that I do in fact have another met on my brain, likely

Tested positive for Covid ( for the first time) last Wednesday. Was able to access Antivirals by Friday and by Monday was testing negative. Finished Paxlovid this morning. Should have injected Abatacept at the weekend but obviously didn’t! Just wondering what people have been advised re timing of restarting

Hi all. I’ve not long been a member here I’ve wrote of my Journey so far before but these issues are a few lingering amongst others. When I eat the food I can eat ( explain that in a minute ) I get pea sized and smaller pimples/ blisters on the roof of my mouth and at the entrance of my throat. It’

My doctor prescribed Venetoclax after two rounds of chemo/immuno infusions to fight CLL. I felt great! Swimming half a mile, felt strong. Then bronchitis, pneumonia, and Covid. Was hospitalized and released in 6 days. But my home convalescence is not what I expected. Weakness, coughing, general severe

Hi well I’m back after a long break after previously having 2 BFN when we tried donor eggs with icsi. We’ve saved up again and decided to give it one last shot and this time the consultant recommended we try genetic screening before having any embryos implanted. Just wondered if there is anyone else

Hi everyone..my now 9 years old daughter had a meningitis when she was 4 n half. She struggles at school, she became a stutter and almost not willing to talk most of the time. It's killing me to see her suffer in her childhood. She doesn't want to play with other kids because of the way she speaks,

I was put in an induced coma because of the swine flu. I was that poorly, I still have flash backs now, and the dreams I had are surreal.

BFN today following our one and only embryo transfer from Cycle 1, so beginning to think about our next (and last) cycle. It all started off quite well, 18 eggs collected but unfortunately only two fertilised via ICSI. I'm 39. But do have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship. We are having

Hi ladies, as the post says really my heart is shattered! A little bit more about my story, we had our first ever round of icsi and managed to get 2 good quality eggs which were then frozen, fast forward to 1 month later I had my egg transfer on the 20th of March and got told to take a test on the 2nd

Hi everyone - I really need your amazing advice… My OH’s sperm sample results were great but we did the DNA frag test which came back high (there was a trial at our clinic). Our consultant told us to make lifestyle changes for 3 months and take impryl before our next round - which would be ICSI. I

Hi. I am on Hydroxyurea unfortunately, since a year ago, one capsule, although I certainly need a second one with my platelets nearing 750. It lowers my immune system, years ago it did the same and I stopped it then. After a terrible cold with persistent cough this winter, that lasted one month, now

Good morning just wondered if you have come across H Pylori I seem to have tested positive for this test. Waiting to hear from GP later today, what questions should I ask? I was assuming not enough stomach acid but now not sure what’s going on with my guts! Look forward to hearing your views

Hi folks I posted back in October about the Stravinsky Study - research being carried out by The British Society for Immunology into antibody response to Covid vaccinations. I gave my first set of samples on13th October and then had my next Covid booster on 17th October (I'm on Humira). Results are

I caught covid after visiting the hospital for an MRI to look at my gastric issues. The virus hit my balance to the extent I wasn't able to walk unaided which I have to say was very disturbing to say the least. Since the virus has cleared I have suffered a few events of vertigo ! I am not the steadiest

Hi all, I have general nerve pain in my head ever since I had concussion and whiplash seven years ago - so I'll get fibromyalgia shoulders and pains travelling up my scalp, particularly the right side. It's not that troublesome. But since I had my Covid jab three weeks ago I've had a few episodes

Hi all, I very recently found out I am pregnant through ICSI , we are only 4weeks and 5 days. I take 80mg of propranolol daily for migraines. I'm a little cautious as I read it can get through the placenta? Does anyone have experience with this medication while being pregnant? Thank you

Morning all Looking for some advice on holiday vaccinations for Caribbean. I've seen the recommended list is yellow fever and rabies etc. Just wondering if these vaccines will be "ok" for P M R sufferers. I'm currently on a very low dose 1.5 and hope to be pred free by the time I go (next march) just

I had a steroid injection last Friday and have had facial flushing and raised bp in the morning and raised pulse since. Sometimes I wake up about 2am sweating with raised pulse and if I move even slightly it shoots up to about 110. It’s very slow to return to normal. Anyone have a similar experience
