I know we've been told, all along, that it's possible to be symptomless but still infectious with covid. This is what has just happened to two friends. 1 S was visiting her Mum 200 miles away. Mum fell and broke her hip. The hospital did a covid test on her and she had it (and so was in a covid ward for a week rather than…
Hi, 15 months ago I had my 1 and only dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and it reacted with the immunosuppression medication I was on at at the time for my psoriatic arthritis. Since then my whole life has turned up side down. I am in constant pain and I have swelling in my feet/ankles/knees/hands/shoulders. I've found out…
Hi wondered if anyone here has GCA? I was diagnosed with this last year, and have been shielding from work since April.
Hi, I’m new to the forum so just getting my bearings! I was diagnosed in 2019 with RA and take hydroxychloroquinine, methotrexate injections, gabapentin and steroids as well as folic acid and iron tablets. I have just had Covid and still have the bad chesty cough and flu symptoms but have just been told I shouldn’t have…
Has anyone been invited for a second Covid booster (5th jab)?

Since the booster, I have been struggling with mild fatigue and my knees are grumbling at me. Thinking that it is potentially more than just a side…
Got the text to book my spring Covid booster today - so booster now booked. I was rather surprised to get the text this early as I've only been on MTX (15mg) for seven weeks so my immune system wasn't supressed at the time of any of my previous 3 vaccines and my last booster was beginning of December. I suspect that I may…
I was gobsmacked yesterday to find out that the Covid rules are out of the window, no masks from next week and even no self-isolation if you are infected. I think this has been done purely for political reasons to save the PM's bacon, every medical expert on the TV this morning has said that it is too early and will send…
This is very pertinent as my wife is currently isolating having tested positive by firstly LFT and then PCR for Covid. I live in Scotland and have just read the Test and Protect Transition information published yesterday by the Scottish Government. It looks like there will still be testing - both LFT and PCR - available…
