protecting against infection
Does anyone have experience with a depressed immune system before Covid as to how careful you were about being out in public, i.e. indoor concerts/plays during
flu
seasons, eating indoors, indoor sports like basketball games….I appreciate your insight.

Advice plse on too high Iodine and starting Armour at same time or not?
Also her CRP has gone up from 0.5 in 2021 to 6.38 now, I dont know if this is related but she had a Covid and
Flu
vaccine about a week before the blood test. I also wonder if the Covid and
Flu
vaccine may affect the thyroid blood test results.

Eating well, for when you aren't at your best ...
Obviously, its
flu
season. and cough and cold season. In my case, it seems to be "I've picked up some other useless idiots bug!" season. From which you may reasonably, and correctly, conclude that I have a winter bug from hell.

End game and PMR
Apart from the intermittent PMR, my Autumn has also included both Covid and
Flu
jabs. In that time the problem I have with sticky lung mucus has been bad, except that is has almost gone in this last period. Coincidence is not cause, but it feel like it. I will see what my consultant says.

Food and blood pressure
Initial symptoms were feeling like I was going down with
flu
. Then within a few hours my BP dropped from 136/80 ish down top 76/50 ..... admitted in a hurry to A & E, the rest is history. Tuesday evening for my main meal of the day (at about 6.30 pm) I had a meal with meat and veg.

Covid
Feeling very rough with high temperature and cracking headache and
flu
like aches. Despite being identified back in December 2021 as vulnerable I was told today that I’m not eligible for the latest anti virals as I’m only on 3mg of pred daily. I’ve had PMR for 6yrs.

New - looking for an easy-to-follow plan to start investigating
Life, especially when younger, was miserable cycles of: Week 1: very high temperature/aching body/
flu
-like/sore glands/sore throat/mouth ulcers. Week 2: recovering, feeling weak. Week 3: not too bad. Week 4: feel like "the start of something" and over and over.

Chest infection from spraying Flea Spray (or was it just bad luck, flu season or allergy?)
I thought maybe it was the change in the weather and
flu
season has arrived - I checked for covid, tests were all negative. I was given a course of antibiotics as sputum was bright green and was given a blue inhaler (reliever) and brown inhaler (steroids) and x-Ray came back clear.

Obinutuzumab, Venetoclax and Vaccines
Hello, I’m just starting month 3 of O+V treatment and I asked my consultant about this years
Flu
and Covid boosters. He replied that whilst I was on Obinutuzumab any antibodies I made would be completely wiped out by the treatment, which makes perfect sense. What are O+V people doing this autumn?

New socks, happy feet
Due to a horrible cold/
flu
bug (not Covid) a couple of weeks back and a nasty cough, yesterday was the first morning recently that I've woken up and thought 'yes, I could run ' . I didn't though, deciding to leave it an extra day just to be sure the cough had finally gone. So today was the day.

flu-like symptoms and thyroid increase
My last blood results showed TSH at 1.64 and my FT3 and FT4 were around 50% (I don’t remember the exact numbers - I am not a home to get the info) I wanted to increase bc I repeatedly experience
flu
-like symptoms, low energy and have to eat very little to prevent weight gain.

Ultrasound for possible temporal arteritis
and had 5th covid shot middle of NOv, and
flu
shot over week ago, could any of these things lead to the state I am in now, also, will the 25 mgs of pred, I will have taken for 4 days at time of ultrasound, affect the results ?

Sixth Covid Jab Today
Dear All, Today I had my Sixth Covid 'jab' which, coupled with the
Flu
Jab- last week- SHOULD offer me 'Some Protection'! I say 'should' because I'm Very Heavily Immuno-Suppressed, due to both Vasculitis- since 1995- and a Kidney Transplant- in 2013. I will continue Self Testing, at least.
