Same for us, too - but only on the one occasion.

I note that the death of Meat Loaf has been attributed to Covid-19, too :(

There are also various clever devices for helping you get the darned things on and off (they are really tight, and not very stretchy) which I believe you can also get on prescription/the NHS. I was talking to the inventor of one of them a few years back, but I'm not sure I still have the details.

Having experience with Discord, I'm surprised pwME can cope with it. It drives me potty trying to work out who's replied to what, and the colours are horrendous.

I'm seeing a lot of references to a sub-variant of Omicron: does anyone have some reliable information?

But those of us who were originally given AstraZeneca were given a different booster.

I notice the Efoldi was mentioned earlier in this thread. Has anyone tried using it? I'm just curious, because I sort of know the inventor.

That's not the ones I got - either length-wise or brand-wise. Mine just looked like thick pop-sox. The GP told me the prescription ones would be custom-made. Total rubbish.

Excellent information, Kitty and MEMarge, thank you. My caree is talking about getting a mobility scooter, so this might be useful for her. (Mobility Giant seems to be rather nearer Bat & Ball station than Westerham, though - which is a shame, as there's a bus to Westerham. Not that far as...

Isn't it contraindicated to have a booster shot of a vaccine that you've already had a bad reaction to?

Although the headline focuses on the AZ jab having no effect against symptomatic Omicron 20 weeks after dose 2, the article goes on to discuss the rising Omicron infection rates in the UK and the prospective results...

Be aware that if you're in the UK and pay for your prescriptions, you get charged per stocking, even though there are two stockings per pack. So getting on for £20 for one pair :(

Good luck, then. Let us know how it goes.

Was that just with Pfizer, or with others, too?

Picked this up a couple of days ago and forgot to post it: Omicron symptoms may not fit the clinical picture of Delta: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/omicron-symptoms-what-to-look-out-for-as-doctor-says-covid-variant-may-not-fit-clinical-picture-of-delta/ar-AARPePD?ocid=ASUDHP&li=AAnZ9Ug

Wondering ... has anyone picked up yet on whether Omicron shows up more quickly after infection than previous variants? Just wondering if I need to change frequency/pattern of lateral flow testing, or anything like that.

I'm not sure that 2 months qualifies as Long Covid? I'm seeing links to a story that the "comedian" Jethro has died of/with Covid.

I had very mixed feelings about these photos, but ended up voting Yes in support anyway.

I think they must have, because I got bumped up a couple of levels for the first two due to being a carer, but didn't get an invitation to book a booster until 7 months after my second jab. BTW, a bit of information in relation to vaccines, boosters and Omicron (as we know at the moment)...

More of a general PIP-related article https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/pip-warning-issued-as-seven-in-10-disability-benefits-decisions-by-dwp-are-overturned/ar-AARIUC3?ocid=ASUDHP&li=BBoPWjQ I can't quote anything from it, but: 67% of decisions have been changed from the original one...
