Users of blood pressure medicine have a lower risk of dying from influenza and pneumonia.
Drugs to lower blood pressure of the type ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers reduce the mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia. This is the main conclusion of a new reassuring study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, which Christian Fynbo Christiansen and

Cold Weather Warm ups
OK so as the weather gets a bit colder how do you manage your warm up walks. Once I get running I'm warm enough - but here on exposed slopes of Yorkshire you can get pretty cold on a windy/rainy winters day. Trouble is I'd cook and turn into a ball of sweat if I kept wearing a cosy layer ideal for

Flu jab
Hi just off phone with gp and advised I do not qualify for flu jab. I'm 61yrs old and have had PMR for 3 yrs. I still work job share in a homeless hostel for local authority where very little covid safe practice so feeling very vulnerable.

Flu jabs
Does anyone not have a flu jab? I’ve never ever had one and I don’t want one - I’ve also never had flu but I’m beginning to get freaked out by people on other groups I use who do and who are panicking in case they get missed out. Am I the only person who doesn’t?

Update on flu jab experience
I had my annual flu vaccination one week ago. As usual, I had mild soreness at site of injection, at first, that was only side effect. As the week progressed, however, I began feeling more fatigued.About day 4, post injection, I was sleeping about 10 hours at night. It seemed I needed lots more sleep

I am confused by the nurse
The nurse done two lots of swabs . Showed me the speculum and it was covered in white discharge as they did not think it was thrush thinks it is hormonal . That is what has confused me the hormonal bit . The nurse was asking period like question had to answer with PCOS . Thrush the nurse said first

Pneumonia and flu jabs
Hello everyone I had the flu jab in one arm and the pneumonia jab in the other on Saturday. 24 hours of fever on Monday which has now subsided. Feel decidedly under the weather now though. The nurse said I might feel unwell for 2 or 3 days but I thought I'd be better by now. Has it happened to anyone

Flu vac ?
Delighted to have my flu vac 18 September. Never had a bad reaction until now. The next day I was really unwell. Thought I may have been having a heart attack. Pain in chest, giddy etc. I phoned 111 for advice but gave up after no answer after 15 minutes. Started to feel a bit better by lunchtime.

Flu jab
I work for the NHS and it's coming up to the time where they push staff to have the flu jab. My colleague is doing a flu jab clinic right after one of my meetings next week and I'll be asked to have it. I'm about to start DR for FET on Sunday and not sure about having it done during treatment? Ive had

Back on the running wagon but omg it's cold
Hi everyone I ended up taking a couple of weeks off the programme unplanned waiting for new trainers as the sole fell off my old ones 😳😂 I decided to repeat W6 and W7, half way through W7 again. But when I go out first thing it's really cold and feels much harder- am I imagining this? My husband said

Flu Jabs
I read a paper that a doctor put online about autoimmune diseases and having the flu jab. He said if someone with autoimmune diseases gets the flu they should ask their gp for antiviral drugs. Also he said that those with autoimmune diseases should ask for a dead flu vaccine and not to have a live vaccine

Flu jab
Does anyone have any specific views on having the flu jab when you have ET JAK 2 positive? Not sure if it’s a good idea.

Wow I just reading study that professor Nutt took part in . Buprenorphine for refractory OCD ! Again this is only low doses when the required effect was achieved it does not need increasing. Patient doses range from 1 x 200 mcg Some on 2mg once or twice daily ,6mg divided in to 3 doses during the day

Cold sore and newborn
Hi everyone, I’m freaking out as I woke up with a cold sore, probably post Cesarean. I have 3 days old newborn at home and I’m freaking out that I could pass it to him. Maybe I already did as I kissed him yesterday few times. Any advice? Should I go to A&E and check with them? So far baby is eating

Flu jabs and autoimmune diseases
Is it safe to have flu jab when you have autoimmune diseases? I always have had the flu jabs, but last year it gave me a very bad flu that lasted from November to mid February. I am too scared to Rusk it this year. It is so debilitating and usually leaves me with another health problem. Does anyone else

Flu Shot
When is the best time for us CLL'ers to take the flu shot for it to be most effective? The end of October, the beginning of November, or now?
