Pneumonia Jab
Has anybody had the one-off pneumonia jab offered by the GP surgeries? I was offered it after the flu jab but I had to make another appointment for the pneumonia jab but the queue for the reception was really long so I left it. But with the coronavirus on its way it might be a good idea to get it done

Healthy New Year’s Checklist for People with Kidney Disease
For those of you on Original Medicare, you know that at the beginning of each year you are advised about a Wellness Check that OM will cover. For those of you who have other insurance you may or may not receive something similar. In any case, I thought this checklist would be valuable for all to see

Has anyone heard of a fibroscan being wrong?
OK, I'll try and make this as short as possible. I was a heavy drinker in my 20s and early 30s but in more recent years I've basically stopped drinking. I've had a few paracetamol overdoses too, the last being 30 months ago when my symptoms started. That one was accidental, really stupid since I'm aware

When to go to A & E
Despite having a flu jab for the first time I have what appears to be flu! A bad bout of coughing last night set off an AF episode lasting about 15 hours so far. I've never had AF last more than a few minutes before. I took a PiP of Flecainide & Bisoprolol this morning which had no effect. Spoke to my

MVA triggered by immune challenge
I am not sure where this post might lead, or even if it serves any purpose. Probably it doesn't. However, I will proceed anyway! I have noticed a consistent pattern of immune challenges causing MVA flare-ups: these challenges can be an infection, a flu jab or even an insect bite. I wondered if anybody

Asthma cough/mucus worse past three years
I've noticed lots of people on the site writing that their asthma has worsened in the last few years. A lot of us were given the pneumococcal vaccine about then, could this have triggered something? Or the ever changing flu injections?

Shingles vaccine and blood tests
Thanks all for your replies on the vaccine and blood tests. I will ask if vaccine is live when time comes (3 years yet) and see if I can register to see blood test results - I have one for thyroid every year.

Shingles vaccine
I'm in Johannesburg South Africa. Shingrix is not available in SA only Zovirax. As a CLL sufferer who has had one session of Shingles has anyone been able to obtain Shingrix in South Africa??

Reducing prednisolone and flu vaccine
I have just seen my rheumatologist (we will know the blood results in a couple of days), and she suggested I start alternating between 15mg and 10mg for the rest of this week (my week starts on Monday) and drop to 10mg from Monday. When I dropped from 15mg to 12.5mg a couple of weeks ago, it took almost

What’s wrong with me????
Hi. Just recently been diagnosed with asthma Nov19. Last 4 years each winter following virus have developed awful cough lasting 12-16 weeks. The last 2 years I got antibiotics.

New to Olumiant/Barcinitib
Hi, I have RA and have just started taking Olumiant. I’m noticing a good improvement and I’m happy with it so far (in my 2nd week). I am however kicking myself now though for not having a flu shot before I started. I’m in Victoria, Australia and get a really bad cold/flu like illness almost every winter

Sickness and diarrhoea- what do I do about my tablets please?
Oh dear , I’ve kicked off the new year in a bad way ! I’ve been up since about 3 am and can’t keep anything - not even sips of water down . I guess I’ve caught a gastric bug , unless I’m having my first flare ! I’ve had my flu jab . Everywhere aches , particularly my shoulders and I’m shivering . What

Prescribing cascade
Although not directly applicable to PMR/GCA probably a lot of us may have this happen to us. Consider, for example, a man in his late seventies, fit and active, “routinely prescribed” (like so many of his age group) a cholesterol lowering statin. Two months later, he consults his doctor with muscular

Asthma and colds
I have spent the last couple of months trying to get my asthma and asthma cough under control. I am finically feeling like I’m winning and I am given my flu Jab and now have a cold! My airways are narrow and full of mucus and this morning I could hardly get air in. I was so scared. I am waiting for
