In praise of being a good patient, not a great one
I got sick the way Hemingway says you go broke. 'Slowly, and then all at once.' I got 'better' the same way. As weeks and months went by I would wake up and things that hurt before no longer did. I would later have to revert back to my journal to see how many joints were originally out of whack. When

Whooping Cough Shot TDAP in U.S.
In the U.S. they are now suggesting the DTAP (diphtheria, Tetatnus, Pertussis/whooping cough) booster for every pregnancy. My daughter went ahead and had hers... at least for her first pregnancy (she is AL positive) They are suggesting all grandparents get this as well if they haven’t in the past 8

Is this lymphedema?
Hi all Happy New Year! In 2004 I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer with lymph node involvement on the right hand side. After lumpectomy, mastectomy I had chemo followed by radiotherapy for 6 weeks. I went back to work shortly after finishing radiotherapy, it proved too soon and I didn't feel

Worried about dad
My dad has IPF - he isn’t telling us much!! He just seems to have been diagnosed and sent on his way. Turns out he should have been reviewed year ago but his files got mixed up. At recent appointment with hospital consultant he was told his diagnosis goes back over 3 years (he claims no one told him)

Shingles Vaccine
I am booked for the Singles Vaccination later this week. But I gather it's not suitable for people with a weakened immune system. I have APS and slight Sjogrens, and am on life long Warfarin following two blood clots in my eye. I don't know whether I fall into a patient with a "weakened immune system

Dealing with heavy cold / flu
Hi guys, Just came down with a heavy cold. I’m taking all the usual non prescription stuff at the mo and I’m dealing with it. But I had a bout of anxiety last night brought on by the coughing and my chest tightening up etc. I think what’s worrying me is the possibility of developing a chest infection

Big issues
Seeing a neurologist (not the one for RLS) for the horrible pain and numbness in my hand that’s from last year’s flu shot (which caused the very rare condition of transverse myelitis.) I have already been taking 1200 mg gabapentin for the RLS which was totally controlling it until i was put on Cymbalta
