3rd Pfizer
Hi everyone, Just got my 3rd or booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine in Canada. I gues being on immunosuppressive medications has its advantages for covid. First off, I am on Tocilizumab, which apparently is also being used to treat covid patients. Been on for 3 years now and have a sort of normal but

3rd Covid vaccine and booster in UK are not the same.
Posting this again as there still seems to be confusion. In England at least, vulnerable people are getting a Third primary dose now as well as a Booster. The third primary dose is not the booster, even if your GP surgery may call it that. I had my my 3rd primary dose a couple of weeks ago, though when

Lupus and COVID-19 Vaccination - UPDATED 08/10/2021 - Third doses and booster doses
Hi everyone, Many people with lupus who are on immunosuppressant medications have still not been invited for their third primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. We understand there is also some confusion, including with healthcare professionals, between this and the wider rollout of the booster doses.

Response to Vaccine Query
I have followed the recent guidance from MPN Voice and Blood Cancer UK advise letters with regards to securing a “Third Primary Dose” Vaccine by further contacting my haematology team. I enclosed all three letters, MPN Voice, Blood Cancer UK and the JCVI recommendation letter to all hospitals and GP

3rd Primary Covid Vaccine
Well I finally got my 3rd Primary Vaccine today. Having given up at trying to get the jab through official channels I just turned up at a local drop-in centre and eventually found someone who knew what I was talking about. Went armed with letters from my Rheumatologist and Immunologist and the nurse

One for the ladies…….. Hi all, I’m after a little advice. I hope someone can help. I have RA and fibromyalgia and take hydrox, methotrexate & amitriptyline. Like many of you my condition causes my blood ‘stores’ to get low. (I’m told this isn’t the same as anaemia but it does make me feel pretty

Advice needed- Return to the workplace after working from home due to being immunosuppressed.
I take MMF 3g a day, Rituximab infusions every 6 months, hydroxychloroquine, prednisolone and other medication. I've been advised that I will be expected to return to the office once FFP3 facemasks are provided. I feel very uncomfortable about returning to work as it is a public facing role. I wondered

Dupuytren
Since there is no forum I can find, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Dupuytren's contracture and possible successful treatments. I can't get hold of my GP and I am immunosuppressed.

Reducing prednisolone
Have been on prednisolone plus
immunosuppressants
for over 6 years for sle, lupus profundus and nephritis more recently. Now have been on mycophenalate for just over a year and have even had normal bloods for the first time in 6 years. Mycophenalate seems to really suit me.

Close brush with Covid
I've seen lots discussion on here about Covid and vaccination immunity response for those of us on
immunosuppressants
. I had a very scary brush with Covid today and thought I'd share my experience which you may find reassuring.

Scottish Chief Medical Officer letter re 3rd primary vaccines specifically
Bit late coming, but here finally is the letter from the Scottish Chief Medical Officer re the rollout of 3rd primary doses for the severely immunosuppressed. Many Scottish health boards are already booking in patients for these, with appointments showing up initially on the Scottish Covid vaccination

Immunosuppressed
I had PMR 13 years ago which was diagnosed eventuallyby my physio daughter when I visited her in London. I had what I think of now as typica PMR . My GP was very hazy about PMR but after a blood test that I requested she phoned to say my ESR was 70 and she had left me out some tablets. So was started
