Morning Peeps 😊
It's a beautiful sunny day where I am today 😎 I hope you are able to enjoy it one way or another; I will walk tp work today, so that I can enjoy it for that time at least.
I finally went for my 5th Covid vaccine yesterday evening 🥳I have had a few attempts previously, but have been too poorly to attend. I had to go to a big Covid centre, rather than my local chemist, because locally I couldn't choose to have Pfizer. I wanted to have Pfizer because my last three vaccines have been Pfizer - just a personal choice to not have a third different vaccine. When I got there, they said that they were offering Moderna to all adults and were keeping Pfizer for under 18s. I explained my situation with RA and my meds etc and they agreed I could have a choice - I think I was very lucky to be offered that choice, to be honest.
Anyhoo, apart from a slight ache in my upper arm, when I lift it, all seems absolutely fine 🙂
BTW, I took along my most recent GP script- showing my meds - which had Metoject on it. I also took my empty Tocilizumab box to show I have that. They didn't ask to see either - they simply asked me for my NHS number, D.O.B. address and asked me why I needed my 5th vaccine, so I told them about MTX and Tocilizumab. I expected to have to show proof, but no! After my vaccine, the lovely nurse said we'll see you in the Autumn for your next one 😊
