shingles vaccination
Has anyone had experience of shingles vaccination and if so, any downsides? I have let my fingertips do a bit of research and found that Zostavax has been withdrawn in USA but they are giving Shingrix. It appears that Z is a live vaccine and Shingrix is inactive and more suitable for immunosuppressed

Shingles is urgent!
After a post about Shingles, it is worth pointing out that if you think you have Shingles, contact GP immediately or emergency 'phone number if out of hours as the antivirals have to be prescribed as soon as possible to help. I had Shingles a couple of years ago while on Pred (no Actemra or anything

Spreading Cancer (Or Just Waking It Up)
If you look at any collection of "common myths about cancer", you will probably find reassurances about the idea that having cancer surgery might cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body. I remember coming across this one some years ago being surprised - I'd never heard that one myself,

Possible endo/adeno?

Shingles
Hi everyone, I had terrible pain in my left hip and down the thigh to just above knee last week and was worried in case it was to do with my hip replacement. However on Sunday I noticed a crop of lumpy red spots on my hip which were itchy. Called the surgery Monday morning and got a call back from GP

Potential endo and non-hormonal IUD
I think I have endo, or something similar. I've been on painkillers, NSAIDs and have had an ultrasound that was normal. I am now waiting for my referral to the gyno. I was recommended the birth control pill when I was younger to reduce the symptoms but I don't want anything hormonal. I got the non-hormonal

Food Tolerance Tests?
Does anyone out there have any opinion on food tolerance tests for helping the inflammation of Lupus? Are they worth the money? Have they helped? I have just read an article on how they helped someone with Lyme's Disease. Is it just a silly question? Any advice or discussion would be great/helpful.

Shingles- Shingrix for immuno compromised
I have been able to get the non live Shingles vaccine Shingrix from my NHS GP practice. Due my second dose inJanuary. Thought those of you who are under the impression that this is only available privately (which it was up to a little while ago.) should know. Happy New Year to you all.
