Concern about Vaccines
After the first vaccine in August and my
flu
and covid booster vaccines in September I struggled with aches and pains so much so that I had to increase my prednisolone from 2.5mg to 7.5mg.

COVID & Paxlovid
Seems a lot like
flu
, but with no vomiting or diarrhea. My rheumy prescribed Paxlovid, which I started today (1st symptoms Tuesday night). Anybody else been on it? I like what I hear about it, but my chemist had some concerns, which she shared with my wife (I wisely stayed home).

GCA and respiratory issues?
Negative for covid, pneumonia,
flu
, heart. Very similar to past episodes. Upped my pred. by 10mg, then 20 on advice of rheumy, but ended up needing 40mg pred. to get it under control, and that took a whole month.

Struggling with PMR and Pred
I had a tentative diagnosis of PMR in Nov 22, then had a massive flare in Jan 23 after having
flu
, which ended up with me starting prednisolone. Since then, I have had fantastic support from the GPs surgery. Though one GP said recently that it categorically could not have been PMR in my 40s.

Immunology clinical trial vs. Radiation?
Possible side effects are fatigue and other
flu
-like symptoms, but so far my MO says none of the patients in the trial have reported any. I questioned whether the slow-rising PSA could be the result of benign residual tissue, and my MO said that is possible but highly unlikely.

Seizing up
The only ones I had were cold and
flu
relief so I got a decongestant and a much needed shot of caffeine too lol. I'm hoping that a weekend on dry land with a reasonable activity level will sort things out. My instinct tells me that if I sit around it will get worse.

Safe recovery after flu
Hello, for the past week I have been suffering from
flu
, and haven't been able to do any running. I usually run Parkrun and two more runs during a week, so should I return to C2 5k say at week 7 or just try a slow 20 minute run and see how it goes? TIA.

19 struggling with ectopics
come on here for a bit of advice or just to share what I’ve been struggling with recently, I’ve struggled with ectopic beats for over a year now, and they have been manageable as they have predominantly been quite spread out or predictable, and the only bad episodes happening when I’ve had a fever or
flu

Flu and PMR
I had no idea that a dose of ordinary
flu
(not covid), could cause such havoc. Anyone else on here experienced this?

I really think I've messed it up, in hind sight should I have just pretended I had
flu
? I think so. I told them I've got a bit of an ongoing thing (I had brain fog) just wasn't thinking at all. I'm really worried I've messed up a wonderful opportunity through no fault of my own really.

Pericarditis + experiences with alternative medicine/diet
Never really been much into alternative meds/supplements/special diets, but now trying all my options, especially since there is still covid and the
flu
lingering around and i cant afford to get sick now :( I was really hoping maybe more people have tried things and can share their experiences.
