The time for flu vaccination will be hear soon. Last year's vaccine was not much of a success. The choice this year seems to be the triple vaccine with a booster for the over 65s or the quad vaccine without booster for those under 65.
I have Lupus antiphospholipid Syndrome and sjogrins. I am over 65. Does anyone know if you can get a quad vaccine with a booster anywhere?
Her vocabulary is your clue... she’s American! My Hematologist in San Antonio Texas kept correcting me when I called it Hughes Syndrome... ( he called it “APLS” and told me to do the same. He also told me I had ,”Lupus Anticoagulant “ which really confused me since I was put on warfarin immediately after my first obligatory tests were performed- and LA was the only one negative. )
I asked- “ I’m LA positive now? Did you do a test for that antibody despite the fact that I’m on warfarin?”
Seriously- this is why it just needs to be named “ Hughes Syndrome!!!!!!!”
I’m probably not done ranting.
The name Lupus Anticoagulant confuses doctors & patients because they think it is a test for SLE, rather than a clotting test! Unfortunately, some doctors refuse to recognise "Hughes Syndrome"! Dr Graham RV Hughes is unusual because he has a syndrome named after him while still living. May he live to 120 years! He has won many international awards, yet UK hasn't recognised hi work whatsoever! If they can knight pop stars . . .
Absolutely! I’ve often though exactly the same thing.
Thinking it is not the same as doing something about it though...
Hello.... not my country... toes and all. Don’t want to step on any. And I don’t have any idea at all how it works. Can I just knock on the queens front door? “Hello madam? Might I make a suggestion? “😉
( I would bring her flowers and a lovely pair of cowboy boots- I DO have nice manners after all!!)
Actually it's the Government! But they need to have a nomination from whoever! Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of politics involved! Envy and jealousy!
Hmmmmmm.... very very sad. Same the world over, isn’t it?
