I wish him a speedy and full recovery.macliam wrote: ↑Fri May 29 2020 12:27pmMy friend in London has now been moved to a single room - finally out of ICU after 7 weeks and having been almost written off a few weeks back. He is now diconnected from all machinery and his medicaments are being reduced. Yesterday, he was sitting up in his bed and waved back on the video call - he still has no voice. The medics intend to get him sitting in a chair this week.
Still not out....... but getting there!

I also saw the advice to stop taking Asprin and discussed it with my GP at the time. He said that taking one small dose 75mg a day was the advised route and I should continue to take it. So I do. You should never start or stop any prescribed treatment without advice/discussion with a Doctor first. Science is continually changing as new things are discovered and new evidence comes to light. Your Doctor/GP should be in the best position to keep you up to date with the latest treatments. It should also be said that the Ibuprofen they are trailing is a different formulation to the one you can buy over the counter.expressman33 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03 2020 9:57amFollow the science ?????
Years ago I was advised to take a daily aspirin tablet by my GP . I took this for about 3 years then suddenly the advice changed I stopped taking them
In March this year I read that taking Ibruprofen could make Covid 19 symptons worse ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/51929628 ) , now it could be the latest treatment against Covid19 https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/trial-testin ... 9-launches
It is not being used to treat the virus but the breathing difficulties associated with it. The aim being to avoid the need for ventilation.The trial will use a special formulation of ibuprofen rather than the regular tablets that people might usually buy. Some people already take this lipid capsule form of the drug for conditions like arthritis.
