Pneumococcal Vaccine
Hi I have PV and I am 65 in October. I have been given an appointment for the pneumococcal vaccine. Just wondering how others were after getting the vaccine, thanks.

Alcohol
My husband has AF but after two ablations things seem thankfully quite stable. The only problem is that since he is taking Dabigatran he is no longer able to enjoy alcohol - red wine tastes like vinegar and also causes gastric issues., as well as whiskey and beer. He is sorry he can no longer enjoy

jaw pain
A few weeks ago I noticed that I couldn’t open my mouth as wide as I normally could without pain on the left side. Also, if I yawn and forget not to open it too wide I get a horrible pain and twisted feeling in my neck and throat. I went to the doctor’s surgery this week and saw a senior health practitioner

NHS London statement on Synnovis ransomware cyber attack
I am posting this using the NHS' own website version - it is covered across news sites as well. It seems it is having a major impact on blood tests - which might immediately affect some members. As well as the rest of the impact. [i]

exposure to chickenpox during ivf
Hi, I have been exposed to chicken pox a lot whilst taking my buserelin for my down regulation. I have a scan on Friday to check how my down regulation is going. I will inform them of the chicken pox but just wondered if people thought it would impact this cycle. Would I be considered having a weakened

Equivocal Dsdna
hi, I was diagnosed with SLE in 2022 and have had positive and negative antibody results since this time but my most recent test came back as equivocal which is a first for me. I’m on Benlysta monthly infusions which has massively dampened down my symptoms. Has anyone had this equivocal result and could

Hand, Foot & Mouth
Be aware of the childhood desease HF&M. My 2 year old grand twins caught HF&M last year.Unfortunately I caught it from them & it was a nightmare. Because of the thickness of my skin due to SS, the spots & sores could not break out on the surface of my skin. They errupted below the skin on my hands

Help with steroid induced hyperglycaemia
My story is in my bio as it’s rather long! Is there anyone out there managing Steroid Induced Hyperglycaemia? As I started on 70mg and had to stay on it for 6 weeks after diagnosis, I quickly developed SIH and have found it a daily battle to control it despite being on a very low Carb diet indeed! Diabetic

Confused! Adhesiolysis or Hysterectomy or Mirena!
I attended a follow up appointment this morning which was booked straight after my lap in March. It was with the original team (let's call them Team A), as since then I was put under a different team for Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis after finding severe, dense, widespread adhesions. Team B refused to scan

Azithromycin

Next time I will probably have to begin IV immediately on flare up. I take 250 mg Azithromycin 3 times a week and was wondering does any

ToeNail fungus treatment and Methotrexate
I’ve recently been recommended Curanail by my footcare practitioner for a toe nail fungus condition. I wondered if any one has used this while taking weekly methotrexate, and sometimes Naproxen.My blood test results are all fine and RA is well controlled atm. Looking at the instructions it can take

Keeping Pegasys injections cool and monitoring temp
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester Disease after being treated for many years for an MPN, (ET) I have started on Pegasys Interferon and will be travelling by plane soon (yay) and am looking for advice to keep the injections cool. Does anyone use a fridge (or similar) thermometer
