RA, immunosuppression and Paxlovid

Hallo all Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed Paxlovid, the very new antiviral, if you are on immunosuppressants for your RA? I am on Baricitinib and Prednisolone and have had Covid since Sunday when I tested positive.

IV Alpha Lipoic Acid Treatment for PBC and autoimmune hepatitis

I've been diagnosed with overlapping PBC and autoimmune hepatitis and doctors are hesitant to prescribe immunosuppressants since I recently had breast cancer. I'm looking for treatment alternatives. Thanks!!

To do KT or not?

To those of you that has had a kidney transplant, do you think it is worth to do it, given all the possible complications and the high risk of developing cancer by taking immunosuppressants ? I am contemplating on undergoing pre- emptive KT but with of these possibilities , I am so nervous.

Vaccine hesitation

As some who has had a liver transplant and on immunosuppressants obviously and also having had a portal vein thrombosis I’m reluctant to have the covid19 vaccine As reported early on in this “pandemic” certain vaccines were and still are responsible for clotting, besides the clotting issue the fact

Prednisone and efficacy of Vaccine

Merry Christmas to All I’ve read a couple of medical articles that indicates, even at a low dose of prednisone, the vaccine is not nearly as effective, than if a person were to be on other immunosuppressants, and it is puzzling to some scientists as to why this is.

Fourth Covid Vaccination

Is it safe to continue my regular immunosuppressants ? Mycophenolate 750mgs mane 500mgs nocte Prednisolone 5mgs OD. I’m concerned the efficacy of theJab will be reduced. How long, if recommended, can I omit the above medication or will I be at risk of a “flare” up of my Autoimmune Hepatitis?

My Experience with ITP

I have also taken various immunosuppressants like IVIG, Rituximab and Prednisolone. This hair fall is completely normal, so don't worry. I found using soaking fenugreek seeds in water and spraying that water helps a lot. Try using Himalaya Anti Hair Fall Shampoo. It really helps.

Third Primary Doses can now be booked using NHS Online Booking Service

Hi everyone, We know that a lot of people with lupus on immunosuppressants have experienced difficulty getting their third primary doses. The RAIRDA survey conducted a couple of weeks ago found that more than 1-in-5 people who are eligible still hadn't received their dose.

booster after 3rd Covid Vacc

I am aware that those on Biologics and other immunosuppressants may have a reduced effectiveness from the vaccines. I hope having the 3 vaccines and then a booster may give some increased protection. Best wishes to everyone coping with the uncertainty and effects of the Pandemic.

Complications from Immunosuppressants

I am almost 6 months post kidney transplant. I developed a 24 hr fever on July 30, along with headaches and very large painful mouth sores. I could barely eat or talk. My white blood cell count was low but creatinine was normal. The docs tested for everything including CMV, Epstein Barr, and did swabs

Alternative anti-inflammatories?

I am coming to this forum for assistance with managing joint pain (and hopefully avoiding immunosuppressants whilst I can).

Re: Vaccine efficacy

There is someone at my work who received an organ transplant and was advised not to get the vaccine as it would not matter because they were on immunosuppressants. I do not know how true this is however my understanding is this individual is still unvaccinated based on what their doctor told them.

Feeling scared - I think it’s going to be chemical - needing advice

This embryo was made before my husband became unwell and before he started immunosuppressants. So question: Should I go and do a fresh cycle after this round just so they can collect the eggs to make embryos whilst I’m 38.

Endometrial biopsy question!

I take immunosuppressants so have to be very careful about infections of any kind so he put me on 2 types of antibiotics for 2 weeks but said if the bleeding was from an infection it should stop after 4 days on antibiotics.

Third Covid jab as primary dose

The SRUK website confirms that most of us taking immunosuppressants would be offered a third jab imminently. This is NOT the booster, which will be given to a much larger group and is to boost declining antibodies 6 months after jab 2. .
