The past few weeks I have had Jabs to prevent flu , shingles and pain at the dentist. Questions I didn't ask were what brand ?, What promises of no side effects. What efficacy rate. My main criteria were. Sharp needles and my eyes closed.

Your last sentence made me smile....I have to have an injection into my eye every 8 weeks so unfortunately having my eyes closed aint an option ....but I sure wish it were 😁

That sounds painful Janny.

Not too bad....they do numb it first and if it helps save my remaining sight then it is worth it.

Thanks Janny.

Do they use eye drops to numb your eye?

Your eyesight is so precious and I agree you have to do what's necessary to save your sight.

Yes they use numbing drops besides other eye drops....about 5/6 in total. As you say eyesight is precious ....I have already have vision loss.....not total....through myself not acting quick enough so  thank goodness the wonderful NHS are keeping up with the eye injections in these difficult times.

Ouch. That must be the most unpleasant place to have a jab. Just thinking about that and ............... Back now, 🤣

Sorry to hear you have some sight loss but hopefully your treatment now will stop it getting worse.

Orthodontist?  That's usually for kids to straighten their teeth with braces.  I used to work for the Senior Orthodontist at the Eastman Dental Hospital in London.  Did you possibly mean periodontist?

Quite possibly Jean. Until recently I thought a chiropractor taught people to sing.🤣

That clip is so funny. Are all men like that?!

I had to have a swab test last August before at our local hospital before an out patient procedure. I was dreading it because I get nose bleeds and easily gag, however it was fine as it was done by a nurse.

 

My wife had a DIY home swab test as part of the Imperial College study, you really have to put the swab well to the back of your mouth and well up your nose. It makes me wonder how many DIY tests are done properly i.e just waggle the swab around their mouths and only into the outer part of the nostril.

Partners covid vaccination cancelled as still awaiting approval by regulator. They're hoping for approval this week and for vaccinations to start next week!

I had to do the test myself at the testing centre.

You have to swab the back of your throat for 15 seconds then you put the swab up your nose until you hit the bone then you have to swab around that area for 15 seconds.

You put the swab into a sealed bag and at the exit they scan the bar code and your test invitation.

I was positive.

When I took my daughter, to the drive through test center for her tests before hospital appointments, it was always done through the car window by someone in full PPE.

They gave me the option, but I did mine myself.. 

There is a concern that you haven't done it right, but I don't think I could bear somebody else doing it, it's quite uncomfortable...
