I also had my sputum tested during last flare (had nightsweats, fever, overall misery).

I also had a flare after vaccinations for Covid and flu last fall.
But maybe I would have gotten the flare anyway, and it could have been much worse if I wasn't vaccinated.

I haven't had Covid since the onset of the pandemic. I took all the vaccinations, and all went pretty well.
But a few weeks ago I had a terrible headache, and a stuffed nose.
I did a test, and it...
Initially not. But later on I started having nosebleeds and crustings.
I was very tired all of the time, and I had so much joint pain that at some point I could hardly walk.
During treatment...

Nowadays I can, and rinsing indeed helps a...

I hope you can have it checked again by a doctor, if it keeps on bothering...

After proper treatment my bodyweight became 'normal' for my lenght again.
I am even a few pounds...
You're so right, drz!

I had to search this site for 'The Gorrilaz', Marta. Now I know it's a Britisch rock group, haha.
Jack sure was a precious member of this group, he wrote me messages I will never forget......
I know nosebleeds and sometimes saddle-nose are symptoms of GPA.
I did have the nosebleeds, but was lucky enhough not to develope a saddle-nose, for which I was quite scared of in the beginning.
