And my COVID infection was August 12. Fully recovered now

Does anyone know how long after having COVID you should wait to get booster? I am tempted but my second Pfizer shot was March 7.

Thank you for all the good wishes. My internist said I have to wait till November to get booster. My second dose of Pfizer was March 7. I guess I have some extra protection since I just cleared the virus. Still wish I could get booster sooner. Wonder if having just had COVID if the reaction...

Well my husband got COVID and I did that evening. We both had been double vaccinated with Pzfizer thank god! It never attacked the lungs but it was a beast. Fever, fatigue, body aches, GI issues, no appetite. For me it was 10 days and for Rick 2 weeks. We are fully recovered. It was a surprise...

I always go for the test. Then my internist decides. Usually almost every time it has been negative. It is always a worry for sure.

Thank you .

Hi everyone, Lately I have pulled a muscle on my back twice by doing very little in the span of 3 months. Also once I got a stiff neck. I did ask about taking ibuprofen and many of you have done so and tested more often. I was told I could take one Advil when I first hurt myself and no more...

A long time ago they would give me antibiotics on an IV. Now I have had colonoscopies and couple endoscopies recently without antibiotics anymore. Doctor said we no longer need them . I also have mechanical heart valve and pacemaker. Good luck.

Just curious. I have also a Roche meter. How does the test kit work? What made you think maybe yours was not working? Thank you.

I recently asked my cardiologist what can I take when I pull a muscle in my back and really hurts besides Tylenol. He said I could do ONE dose of Advil when I first hurt myself ONLY. Good to know. I have pulled a muscle twice lately.

I have been dealing with Biotel and my insurance. They corrected an error on billing me for something my insurance pays (Cigna). I guess we will see if things are better now. Phillips? I haven't heard that name but I didn't call this week because I went to Quest labs since I had to get a blood...

I asked Lab Corps what they used as a reagent and their answer was none of the above. I believe they said Siemens. That is all the information they would give. Next time I had a blood draw I went to Quest Labs and I was 3.5 at home and 3.2 at Quest with one hour difference. I think I am...

I have done colonoscopy off warfarin and on warfarin. They have never found a polyp so my last two have been on warfarin. My doctor said he plans on only doing one more because I am now over 70 and never had a polyp. Surprised me because my brother and cousin had colon cancer.

Hi Tom. So if I understand you correctly you do the first on Warfarin and hope they find nothing?

I this necessary to do? How do I know what I have?

Thank you Pellicle. I feel better.

Hi Pellicle, I did a test a week later on my Coagucheck and it was 3.4. I called Roche as Eva suggested and they said it depends on what reagent Labcorps uses? Roche uses Dade Innovin. She said if the lab uses a different reagent that would explain the difference. Honestly how am I supposed to...

Hi Eva, I called Roche and they said they use a reagent called Dade Innovin. If Lab corps uses something different that would explain the difference. So how am I supposed to know what Lab corps uses? Is it all the Lab corps? Or does each have their own? I know Protime told me not to worry about...

Yes 81 enteric

Thank you Eva! Roche sold to Bio Tel. I could ask Bio Tel I suppose.
