Covid vaccines and Lupus Flare - up
Everytime I get a Covid shot I get a painful Lupus Flare- up for 4 to 5 months . In the 30 years of having Lupus I have never been so sick as since I have been taking Covid shots . I am thinking I will wait at least 1 year , if not longer for another one .

Is Baclofen part of asthma treatment?
I was taken off Montelukast by my Asthma specialist after more than twenty years. Baclofen was given but I had to stop taking it after two weeks because my cough didn't get better. My GP asked me to stop. I couldn't get in touch with my specialist. Should I restart the Baclofen?

Prostate cancer
My prostate condition started around eight years ago when I had urinary track infection which also led to prostatitis. Ever since then, my PSA jumped from 2 to 7.8 during the last 5 years. I had two biopsies… first one, four years ago, they detected no positive cancer cells in my prostate. However
