Anyone else on Mycophenolate with no spleen?
Hi I had my spleen removed as part of the treatment for ITP and I take both penicillin and mycophenolate twice a day. Mycophenolate is an immunosuppresant. As a result I am a priority case for flu jabs each year. When i have a flu jab i am really unwell for a month. So, last year i decided not to

Anyone had the flu jab in the UK this Year ?
Went to see my GP a couple of weeks ago for the results of a dexa scan. I'd declined the Alendronic acid and he insisted on the scan. Anyway my T score was fine, but while there, my GP opened his fridge and took out a flu jab. "Everybody got injected with the wrong strain last year and I actually got

Hello fellow RA warriors. :) Just been for my 3rd fortnightly blood test and came away feeling like a pin cushion! I must learn to keep my mouth shut..... asked about flu jab and pneumonia jab and guess what she did them there and then (after she checked I should have them), blood from right arm, flu

Flu Vaccine (Plus, Oral Steroids Risk)
1. Just chatted to Asthma UK Nurse (4th October), who said the 'general' advice was to 'avoid' the Flu Vaccine while on an Oral Steroid Burst' i.e. Temporary 'High Dose' Oral Steroids, - PLUS - to wait for 2 Weeks After Completing the Pred Burst before having the Vaccine. I mention this in case others

You Flu Jab.
Is it safe to have the flu jab if you take warfarin, I have read such conflicting reports.

FLU JAB - EGG FREE - OR NOT
I have COPD and am allergic to eggs. I used to attend the hospital clinic for the "egg free" flu jab as until about 5 years ago my GP was able to get this. I was one of very many at this hospital clinic. For the past 2 or 3 years I have not been recalled. The telephone number of the clinic is now unobtainable

Flu jab.
Hi I was diagnosed as a coeliac a year ago and I have been told today at the doctor's that I'm eligible for a flu jab. Is this normal for all coeliacs.

the flu jab one fits all
so if they can do one flu jab fits all, why can't they do one RA drug fits all?

Update on Flu Jab!
Had my annual flu jab last week. No negative consequences. Period. Only indication of the injection was a modest warm reddened area at the site of the injection. Lasted 2- 3 days and now gone. This is year 5 of PMR, diagnosed in 2013. My annual flu jab has helped me avoid the flu, and I rarely have

Flu jab and methotrexate?
Anyone know if there is a guideline about taking methotrexate the week of my flu jab? I usually have my injection tomorrow morning but am having my flu jab tomorrow afternoon. Should I take the methotrexate as normal?

Flu jab
Is it safe for us Lupus sufferers to have the flu jab? I have it every year, as even a cold goes straight to my chest and I got pneumonia again this year! So I was just wondering what others thought about this.

How we laughed
Went for my flu jab yesterday like a good girl. Checked on the web site for times etc, however the clinic had run out of vaccine, a National shortage apparently. Speaking to a gentleman on the way out he said that by November 10th, the date of the next session half of us may well be dead, saving the
