On 30th March GPs were written to by the NHS to say that those who are immunosuppressed for various reasons including those on anti-TNF biologics are needing all adults in their households offered to be vaccinated too. These people are now classified as group 6.

Balance problems with Anti TNF drugs?

However, I had to have a break from Anti TNF from April-December '20 and gradually realised that the balance problem seemed to have decreased considerably. I re-started the Imraldi in early December and the problem has returned.

Most Inflammatory Disease Patients on Immunosuppressants Mount a Response to the COVID-19 Vaccine (But Can Vary a Lot by Medication)

Anti-TNF biologics include such medications as Cimzia, Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, and Simoni/Simponi Aria. Researchers collected blood from participants before their first vaccine dose and one to two weeks after their second vaccine dose.

Biological Infusion

I have had RA for the last 50 years and since 2005 have been on Anti TNF biological infusions every 6 weeks at the hospital. However since a few weeks ago when my next infusion was due and because of the COVID situation my appointment has been cancelled until further notice.

Hypothyrodism & autoimmune disease

I have been on all the main anti-TNF drugs for my PsA, but they all loose their efficacy quite quickly. I'm now in limbo as I've had all the latest injection drugs and am waiting for the release of a new one.

Adulumimab/Humera to be used in Covid recovery trial in care homes

However, this article (and others similar to it) have really muddied the waters concerning adulumimab/ anti TNF therapies, Covid 19 and (un)necessary shielding. Any answers?

TTC naturally with Low AMH

Hi all I’m 40 years old with quite a few autoimmune conditions. The last couple of years I have been TTC, kind of on / off though. But, the last year I have made it my priority. Originally, we thought it was my overactive thyroid and endometriosis causing problems. I have since found out that I have

High fertilisation rate but no blastocysts, what now?

Hello, I've just been through my 3rd fresh cycle. I got 10 eggs, 9 mature and 9 fertilised. On day 5 none had reached blastocyst. We transferred 2 compacting morulas which resulted in BFN. My question is, what now? Has anyone been in a similar situation and found out why their embryos stopped progressing

AMH Dropped 4.4 to 2.6 in just over a yesr

Has anyone else had this? We start our third cycle next month. Everything had changed including the clinic but we’ve just had our meeting and they told me my new AMH. I don’t know how I feel about it. Everything about this round feels weird, like I haven't had time to think about it and haven’t over
