I thought it was just common, full stop.
If you're allergic to eggs, this would make sense – some variants of 'flu vaccination are grown on in eggs. This current year's wasn't, but from...
You could wait for a different type of vaccine to be approved? The allergic reaction is thought to have been driven by the presence of 'foreign'...
Indeed – the study was done by a German team, though, so in fairness it could just be an odd translation of something that was already a bit...
I second @Trish's post – some women just get UTIs every now and again, it's not at all unusual. :) Those who have penetrative sex, even within...
I really enjoyed the two talks today. Bhupesh's work on what happens when cells are infected by both a bacterium and HHV6 might have some...
I always thought that too, but nowadays when I ask the person giving the vaccine to clarify, I'm always told it need only be avoided with a virus...
I'm working on the assumption that by the time it's my turn, the Oxford/AZ vaccination will have been approved and that's what will be offered....

Some rather better writing from the Grauniad in a Q&A about Long Covid: How similar is long Covid to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)? The extent...
It absolutely shouldn't be, of course. But I read the abstract in a slightly more positive way: another nudge. When you're trying to educate a...
I can't remember a time before brain fog! :laugh: I've had it since the mid-70s. Every now and again I get a couple of hours without it. It comes...
Haven't seen anything by Frances Ryan for a while – good that she's spoken out.
I re-registered with a different address, after the last newsletter failed to reach me (it wasn't caught by the spam filter). I received this one...
We can live in hope and die in despair! – as my mother used to say, rolling her eyes. But Katharine Cheston, whom I've not come across before,...
FFS! I have literally never come across one of these patients with 'intense irrational fears' and 'kinesiphobia' in 40-odd years. I would be...
It's not helpful for your letter, but I don't think we can know this in a way that's reliable enough to be useful. It could be 100%, as viral...
Separate names with a comma.
