HARPY!!!

 

[Harpy]

Just got back from injection phew , two more two. But go in a couple weeks.

 

[Auriel]

Are you feeling better since the injection harpy?

 

[Harpy]

Hello lovely Auriel . Thanks for asking. The injections are going ok so far, just trying to be patient and let them work their magic . Though I seem to be getting another sinus infection , I am so over this non stop crap.

Had my 5 covid booster yesterday , upper arms a bit tender and a headache.
But At least it’s over with.
Has anyone else kept up their covid vax? I know a lot of people that aren’t getting any more jabs.

I've had 3 so far (I didn't know there was 5!) No one said there was anymore anyway?

Same here: Quite some have done the 4th, don't know anyone with 5 except you .
What with post vac now being covered in the papers here more and more it's a bit sobering.
Having been long-term energy-sapped even more from the 1-2 CoV-germs I got in March, I know the first 3 vacs were right to do. But instead of getting run down even more with another vac, I'm just continuing with distancing and masking, even with friends and family, permanently. I'm not the only one, maybe some are people with or without CoV being considerate, others are Asians and used to it.

Here we’re still getting advertising on to encourage people to continue vaccinations. Most of my friends have had their 5th . I still continue with my mask when out. I am now getting to be the minority wearing one up my way. I am also sanitising regularly while out. It’s kinda sad see most people relaxed on our covid now. I am doing everything I can to keep my mom safe.

can't have any more covid injections or flu due to the Solone tablets that repress the immune system got to be careful that I don't pick up infections - its a whooper of a side effect but I don't get any pain and its also clear up some of the hashimoto problems - she has me on 15mg a day for about 3 weeks ands then will reassess - I am waiting for the neurologist and the Rheumatologist in august.

The interesting thing about Solone is that it suppresses the immune system and it appears to stop fibromyalgia pain which would make one think that fibromyalgia may be an autoimmune disease ??

This is one of the things that researchers are investigating but at this point there is not sufficient evidence to support the theory.

They're treating it in wales like covid has gone! (they only make us wear our masks in gp's and "some" hospital wards) so it's making me think it's gone! but it hasn't gone

it's making me think it's gone! but it hasn't gone

Yeah, tricky. My wife getting it in March was a bit of a shock, so she's got a bit more careful again, seeing only a little of it took my energy down further. But even with that consequence and writing that often enough, I don't have it on my mind much. Wouldn't change anything anyway - I do what I can, but can't expect my wife to do just as much.

Darn lost my reply. I have been told I have small vessel disease, 3 years now. |My balance is gone and headaches are constant. Ben told I have FB for 25 years. Now what? my GP just said vascular dementia and that is it Ok thanks for the help I have been trying everything now they just leave me. No help. What do I do now. I still have FB or is my brain dying and making me think I have FB. All the same symptoms. Has anyone else had more scans and results and answers?

Hi again!
Are you thinking having small vessel disease, vascular dementia and fibromyalgia exclude one another? I don't think so. New results don't mean it isn't / wasn't FM.

I know it’s not the same med but whe my flares out of control my rheumatologist lets me take prednislone for 6 days and my word it’s like a miracle. I feel so alive when there’s no continuous crippling pain.
