Yes, You CAN have the Shingles Vaccine
Hi Everyone, I'm writing this just in case there is anyone out there who thinks they can't have the shingles vaccine because they are on pred. I believed this and refused the vaccine. I later found It was only true if you were on over 20mgs of pred (which I am not). Last October, a new vaccine

Steroid injection and surgery
Hi all , I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long you have to wait after steroid injection in the bottom before having gallbladder removal I've been told operation will be in 2 to 3 mths unless a cancellation comes in. But a friend said I'll have to wait 3mths now

6 month old chronic cough
My 6 month old baby has had a cough on and off for the last 4 months . Back to the gp various times and three courses of antibiotics yet this still has not fully gone! Been referred to pediatrics and gp said this may be the start of asthma but hard to diagnose due to his age. I’m really getting anxious

I went for a Rheumatology appointment yesterday as I’d had to stop Etanercept for the 2nd time due to tonsillitis, itchy rash sore eyes, blurred vision etc. I saw a nurse practitioner who said I didn’t need a steroid injection and because and I have another appointment with my new Consultant in November

Hi all, I will post this elsewhere later but I thought ( just for a start ) many of you AF'ers have other medical conditions beyond AF and many have joint issues. Mine is a left shoulder issue, I have been prescribed rest, prescribed pain killers, have had a steroid injection ......... and there is

Is it safe to renew my tetanus injection with being on 8mg Pred?
My tetanus injection needs to be topped up. I have an allotment in London which used to be part of a railway embankment and wondered if it is wise to take the injection or to wait till I have tapered down to under 5 mg? The same goes for the Hepatitis which is due? Any advice would be appreciated

Antibiotics!
Since being at the dentist for a gum abscess, I’ve had a course of antibiotics which is hellish. I’m suffering with side effects until Tuesday night so treadmill workouts are on hold till then. Unfortunately, we don’t appreciate health until we lose it!!!!

BFP last week but now ill with suspected COVID.
Tested positive after my FET but ever since I’ve been feeling poorly with covid symptoms. Persistent cough, fever, headaches etc. I’m worried that this will impact the pregnancy because it’s so early on - any advice? My viability scan isn’t until 22/12 and I feel like I’m going to be an absolute mess

Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy
I have a friend who contracted Lyme disease and recently underwent a series of hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions. The treatment has completely transformed him and he is now his old self. I have read that this therapy helps Fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases and was wondering if anyone knew

Voice volume issues post ICU
Hello! I was in ICU in February. I thought I just had a bad cough… I’d lost my voice and thrown up and felt shocking and my GP told me it was viral and to take aspirin.

shingles jab anyone?
I had a very bad bout of shingles three years ago. Yesterday my doctors surgery rang to say I qualified for a jab! I tried to ask if it was worthwhile for someone who had already had shingles and was told she was the receptionist! Fair enough but then you can’t speak to a medic anymore Any thoughts

From Prednisone to Morphine
I was wondering if anyone had been offered Morphine as an alternative to Prednisone? It’s been suggested to me by my new Rheumatologist recently. He’s questioning my diagnosis of PMR & suggests the pain is due to “wear & tear”. My pain is symmetrical, in all the usual places (knees, hips, shoulders,
