i have a rumor that the booster (pfizer) is at another pharmacy in town.

Shout out to Pad A Cheek

I recently ordered two things from Karen at Pad A Cheek. My favorite are the covers that help with red marks and wrinkles. I seriously doubt that they do very much for the wrinkles :lol:, but the red marks on my cheeks that stayed with me all day into the next, are gone! And, it's so nice to feel th...

Re: Closed MRI

This goes for any medical procedure I have... as long as it doesn't hurt, I'm okay. A MRI doesn't hurt so it's more annoying than anything else. Just something else I have to do. If pain is involved, that's a whole other story.

Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

Yep, I'm fully aware of the off-label prescription options that Doc can provide. Of course, it often depends on how "cool" the doc is :( :lol: :lol: Dr. Soto is far from cool. The other three doctors in the office don't appear to be "cool" either. There were many other seniors waiting to get a shot...

Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

1. Of course they did!

2. I don't know for certain. You too can call the office. I seem to remember someone saying it was the full dose.

As far as my reply to Ohio -- it was justified. He could have asked his question(s) in a much different manner.

Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

FYI: Doctor told me that if you get Shingles one time, you can no longer get the shots - not sure why. ---------------------------> Even if you’ve already had shingles or had the original Zostavax vaccine, you should still get the Shingirx vaccine, she stresses. https://nyulangone.org/give/communit...

Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

I got the booster (Moderna) Sept. 10th Moderna Booster ?? :?: :?: Please, enough already! Call Dr. Soto's office (Pulmonary and Sleep Associates) at (415) 878-0225), and ask if they were giving the Moderna booster shot on September 10th, 2021 in their office. We had to show our cards before they wo...

Re: plug

I work in corrections and plugs on machines are removeable and residents steal them do they make a cpap or so clean machine with internal plug that does not come out? Hi Clinic - Not sure if you will get many replies. Have no idea about "plugs on machines", and the majority of people on this forum ...

Re: Did you get your flu vaccine?

I got the booster (Moderna) Sept. 10th and the "senior" flu shot a few days ago. Flu shot was a piece of cake... booster was the same as shot 1 and shot 2. A few not so great days but I'm very glad we got it. We both had every other shot offered to our age group. I sure don't want to get Shingles! F...

Re: COVID 19, CPAP, Ventilator MEGA THREAD...everything go here please

Bumping this up again since we are now looking at Pfizer booster shots, and probably Moderna too down the road. There are likely quite a few posters on this board who live in the US and UK and now qualify for boosters with Pfizer. Any break through infections due to waning immunity among folks here...

Don't you just hate it when medical professionals use technical terms straight from the Harvard Medical School Medical Dictionary?


Years ago I had surgery and the surgeon's notes referred to me as a, "well nourished female." :evil: Never forgot it!

Re: Sinus lift and Neil med sinus rinse

I’m having a sinus lift soon. Is it okay to use the sinus rinse while recovering from that surgery, especially since I’ll have to temporarily stop using cpap? It's best to speak to your doctor about this. None of us are doctors. I hope you've received a second opinion on this procedure. Best of luck.
