Flu Vaccination Time
Hi folks, it's that time of year when we have to start thinking about flu jabs and the government have issued their vaccination advice (see the links below). The general advice is that immunosuppressed people should have the flu jab unless you are allergic to it. However, please talk to your GP and

Influenza Vaccination
Hi All, I just got a letter from the local surgery stating that I'm entitled to the free flu jab. I had a transplant last November and I seem to remember getting advice from the liver transplant co-ordinator about vaccines, but I've completely forgotten what that was. Should I or shouldn't I. Thanks

Flu and other vaccines
As I'll be entitled to get the flu vaccine due to being on Hydroxycarbamide I wondered what else is worth having? Is it worth getting the pneumonia one as well? I don't want to go into winter catching all sorts of bugs with a lowered immune system.

Fly jab advice
I'm currently successfully (fingers xd) reducing Pred for PMR (down to 8.5 mg on slow taper). I normally get a flu jab (I'm 52 no other health issues) but wonder what advice on this is? I had a (v mild) suspected case of shingles a few months ago, so I'm not sure what to do as want to avoid the poss

Flu jab
I have not posted for a while, not been feeling too good. I have been gradually reducing the preds. I am finally down to 5 mg a day, I was on 60 mg last December. The withdrawal has been a nightmare of side effects, pain, depression and work, just kept going with the aim to get of the steroids.

Oops I did it again.........
Or so sung US warbler Britney Spears and it looks like I have too. On August 16th I completed my third half ironman triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.1 mile run) in aid of Meningitis Now although not so much 'oops' as why the heck am I doing this. When I was first discharged from hospital

Is a universal flu vaccine on the horizon?
Medical research scientists are getting closer to creating a universal flu vaccine. This brief article reports the latest progress along with a good description of why achieving this has proved so very difficult. It's worth reading for those that are interested in how our bodies learn to recognise

G'day all. I'm Gerald from a small country town in Central Tasmania Australia. I have COPD as a result of smoking for 50 years. I am a recently retired nurse.

Flu jab
Have been reading a couple of posts about the difficulty of overcoming hib flu (not sure if thats right). I routinely have the flu jab, but wonder if we can be protected from this hib bug?

Vaccinations and Flu Shots
Have any of you had adverse reactions after taking the Tdap vaccination? I was told back in 1996 that I should never ever have a flu shot because of all the steroids that I was given to keep me going. Now I have my 1st grandson due in September and I'm told that if I want to see him I must get this vaccination

results of bloods confuse me
Hi I forgot to introduce myself so am editing this, sorry if you have already read it! I am 65 and retired. I wrote a little while back listing my symptoms and someone (I think the administrator?) suggested I come back with results of private blood tests I was having done. Well the results are back

Hi I think this is my first post on the fibroaction site though I have dipped into it once or twice to answer other people's posts. I'm a 65 year old woman who was diagnosed with fibro 5 years ago. I have also been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome, osteoarthritis in C3/4 and C5/6/7 of my spine

Have you noticed Australia’s flu seasons seem to be getting worse? Here’s why
There was an item on last night's TV news claiming that this year's flu season in Australia is shaping up to be the worst for some time. Heath Kelly, Professor (Adjunct) in Infectious Diseases Epidemiology at Australian National University has a countering view for reasons he goes into here: https:/

"Pain in the butt" and thighs??
Hi. PMRandRa has asked me to open this thread as it seems we have one thing in common (probably have more) but we both suffer with pain in the glutes and thighs. Sometimes it was as though I had done an hour of squats with heavy dumbbells.... not my scene! As soon as I started on 15mg pred (Nov) all

How did you tolerate the pneumococcus vaccine?
Immunology has reported I have low antibodies to pneumococcus and instructed me to have the pneumovax vaccine, so am booked to do so on Saturday at my surgery. In 4 weeks, immunology will test to see if I've made a response to the vaccine. last time I had the flu vaccine I didn't tolerate it v well

Do We Miss England...Nope.
Someone asked me the other day if there was anything I really missed about living in England...had to think for a while actually. Pick Your Own Strawberries I said...she looked at me and I had to explain that you can go into fields of strawberries and fill up your basket for a nominal amount of money
