shingles question
Hi, just wondered how dangerous it would be to if I were to come into contact with someone with shingles? My disabled daughter who lives in supported living has shingles and I’m due to see her soon. I’m now on 6mg prednisone- am I less compromised as it’s a lower dose? Thanks

Hell is back in town
Pram withdrawal hell is back. I’ve been withdrawing by half a tablet every fortnight. The last month, I’ve been pretty good with RLS. Not so with PLMD. Since I dropped last Sunday down to 2 pram per day, RLS and PLMD have gone into overdrive. I’m getting a couple of hours sh1ty sleep each night. I hate

Complete thyroidectomy & meds
Hello everyone ! I had a complete thyroidectomy in August. Initially, I had been taking the generic Levothyroxine. I immediately had horrible symptoms of crushing depression and extreme fatigue. My doctor boosted me up to 125 mg and there was no difference. I looked online and read that some people

Confused
I'm sorry if this is a bit long and rambling, but I'm feeling a bit lost and confused and not sure where to turn. I originally posted on here in June when my Osteopath suspected PMR and wrote to my GP asking her to investigate. Eventually, I was given an ESR test which came back 'normal' so no further

Joint flare ups after Pfizer covid booster
Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced joint inflammation flare ups after their covid booster. I had Pfizer last week and developed very bad upper neck pain, pain in wrists, elbows, upper back area. I had the Pfizer booster last December and didn’t have any joint problems after it.

Tetanus shot?? Any interactions with Imbruvica?
My husband got a tetanus shot because he was cut with something rusty and hadn't had one in at least 10 years. I haven't had one either, but if I do get cut, or otherwise need one, am I able to get it without a reaction because of CLL or Imbruvica???? Googled it but I didn't get any good results.

Unknown Diagnosis
Recently seen Rheumatologist. Again, she states it is not PMR. She doesn’t know what is causing the systemic inflammation and the physical symptoms. I accepted the fact, and now committed to treat the symptoms despite not knowing diagnosis. Off prednisone and only taking NSAIDS. After reading about Long

Has anybody experienced psoriasis under/In the nails ? I have it and my toe is so sore at the moment - can’t wear shoes only flat open sandals.I have it In my fingers too - the nails have become loose from the base of the finger.

Body and face sores
I’m almost 3 years into my CLL diagnosis with fatigue being my main symptom. But lately I’ve been getting these large sores that look like a small boil that itch, hang around for a few day and dry out my skin then go away? I also have been getting small patches of little tiny blisters that come and

chicken pox and pmr
My granddaughter has just been diagnosed with chicken pox. It’s her first birthday tomorrow and the following day, a party and bbq was planned. This may go ahead in a shortened form as she appears only mildly affected. My question is - am I at risk of catching chicken pox (severely) if I am in the same

Olmesartan (Omesar) and NSAIDs
My doctor has put me on Olmesartan 10mg in addition to the Amlopidine 5gm I'm already on. To further lower my BP from 150. The patient leaflet says not to use NSAIDs with the Olmesartan. The doctor is away til Monday,so I'm asking the community if they have any experience of this. I use naproxen

Shingles Vaccine
There has been a lot of advertising on Classic FM that older people with immune deficiency diseases should get the anti shingles vaccine. I asked the question a few years ago and it was stated by Prof Harrison that this was a live vaccine and was therefore dangerous to us with ET/PV especially if we
