Should I have the flu jab?
It might seem like summer is only just on it's way out (I can still see a *little* bit of blue sky out of the window here in Liverpool) but it's already time to start thinking about your flu jab. Vicky, one of our helpline nurses, has written a blog post explaining why it's important, who should get

Flu Jab
Hello all, Hope all is well? When I last went for my lung function test I was told by the doctor that I should consider having the flu jab. I am looking into it and was hoping to get some advice from others who may have had it or were thinking about it this year. I don't want to get it if it will make

GCA and flu shots
Do you think it is good or bad to get the flu shot, heard they are study as a lot of people apparently came down with it after a flu shot and not sure if it could be related? Always get it, but thinking twice this year.

Hello everyone, I don't talk much because I don't often have anything to say, but I felt a need to pop in and say hi! I enjoy reading the posts you all leave. I just finished reading the one on Vitamin D. It was interesting. I was recently given 1000 iu of vitamin d to take each day because I had a slight

Flu Vaccine and anticoagulants
I went into Boots for my flu vaccine, and paid for it as I was told NHS did not know when they would be ready yet ( I had no prob last year). Since last year I have been taking Dabigatran. After quite a wait I was finally told that I would need to have it subcutaneously but that the pharmacists had

Flu jab
Does anyone have any idea if it's advisable to have flu jab if your facing going through ivf treatment? My next appointment is November to sign all ivf paper work and I'm hoping will start IVF soon after that. I usually get flu jab just to reduce risk of getting flu not because I am more at risk (

Flu Vaccination Time
Hi folks, it's that time of year when we have to start thinking about flu jabs and the government have issued their vaccination advice (see the links below). The general advice is that immunosuppressed people should have the flu jab unless you are allergic to it. However, please talk to your GP and

Influenza Vaccination
Hi All, I just got a letter from the local surgery stating that I'm entitled to the free flu jab. I had a transplant last November and I seem to remember getting advice from the liver transplant co-ordinator about vaccines, but I've completely forgotten what that was. Should I or shouldn't I. Thanks

Flu and other vaccines
As I'll be entitled to get the flu vaccine due to being on Hydroxycarbamide I wondered what else is worth having? Is it worth getting the pneumonia one as well? I don't want to go into winter catching all sorts of bugs with a lowered immune system.

Flu jab
I have not posted for a while, not been feeling too good. I have been gradually reducing the preds. I am finally down to 5 mg a day, I was on 60 mg last December. The withdrawal has been a nightmare of side effects, pain, depression and work, just kept going with the aim to get of the steroids.

Oops I did it again.........
Or so sung US warbler Britney Spears and it looks like I have too. On August 16th I completed my third half ironman triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.1 mile run) in aid of Meningitis Now although not so much 'oops' as why the heck am I doing this. When I was first discharged from hospital
