? Live Vaccine
I have heard that the Oxford COVID 19 vaccine is partly made up of a live attenuated vaccine. Does this mean that it cannot be given to immunosuppressed patients?

Jak2 test
Hello everyone, I am 24 years of age with a kidney disease called nephrotic syndrome. My GP called me last week to say she was concerned of how high my RBC count was. So she sent an urgent referral to haematologist and ordered my renal team to do a jak2 test which I had yesterday. I am so tired but

I'm not recruiting for Astrazeneca, but news broke this morning that they are to start phase 3 clinical trials of a long-acting antibody combination AZD7442. This will be aimed at helping clinically vulnerable groups, including immunosuppressed, for whom the COVID vaccines may not be effective https:

New diagnosis
I’ve just stumbled across a new diagnosis of Bronchiectasis on my Patient Access record. I have UCTD /lupus and bronchiolitis already. Will anything need to change for me ? I take Trelegy and immunosuppression (Mycophenolate and pred) and keep as active as I can. Feeling a bit scared of this new label

Update for people with liver disease on the Covid-19 vaccine

NRAS statement on the breaking news regarding the Pfizer Vaccine
The Pfizer vaccine is not a live vaccine but there are many other vaccines in the pipeline – some live, but most not. Most vaccine trials have excluded people with rheumatic disease on immune modulation from participation, so we currently do not have data to base decisions upon if they will be safe

thanks for your help
thanks to all of you My thyroid issues are due to MS and being treated with an immunosuppressant some years ago. I was told to decrease from 100 to 125 before lockdown in March because my thyroid seemed to be recovering, and so I decided to go down to 100 instead. This was too low apparently because

Methotrexate or Not?
I have PMR and have been tapering prednisone for the past year. I amcurrently at 6mg. My rheumy is pushy and insists I decrease by 1mg each month. I am not so compliant due to pain, so I am choosing to decrease at 1/2mg per month. We butt heads often because he wants to add Methotrexate. Today he called

Low Lymphocyte Count - does it matter?
My gp surgery just sent me a record of my last twelve months of DMARD monitoring test results. My White Blood Count and Neutrophil Count are always just inside the normal range (on the low end), but my Lymphocyte count has been dropping and is now down to 1.13 (normal range is 1.5 to 4.5). This hasn't

Long term side effects of Mycophenolate in ITP?
I’ve spoken to my haematologist about this worry and he assured me that the risk is in people on multiple
immunosuppressants
. However, I am unable to shake this worry and the anxiety is getting to the point where I’m unable to think about anything else.

The Flu Vaccine, Inflammatory Arthritis, and COVID-19: What You Need to Know
Although researchers have also found that people taking methotrexate or TNF inhibitor biologics — like etanercept (Enbrel), adalimumab (Humira), and infliximab (Remicade) — do have an acceptable response to the flu vaccine, the response isn’t as strong as it is in healthy individuals who are not taking

Should I go for splenectomy?
I started Prednisone (corticosteroid) and after no response, I started Imuran (
immunosuppressants
). My platelet count is still less than 10,000.

Beta blockers-how long to stay on them?
I developed tachycardia 18 months ago after an immunosuppressant treatment . A GP put me on a beta blocker. A month later another GP took me off the beta blocker and I got bad withdrawal symptoms- palpitations, high heart rate etc. I saw a cardiologist privately who changed the beta blocker from propanalol
