Flu vaccine?
Hi All, my pharmacist has recommended I have a flu jab this winter (he is starting to do them next week). He's offering it because I'm 65 and eligible for it free on the NHS. I don't have any respiratory or heart problems but it does take me a long time to recover from viruses that most people shrug

A CANCER VACCINE….. At last visit my Doc mentioned a vaccine, but I didn’t inquire with him Further, then read this in Tampa Bay Times.
A vaccine, called ImmuneFx, makes cancer cells visible to the immune system. After successful trials on animals, it's being tested on humans. Times staff writer TAMPA - Tampa scientists Michael and Patricia Lawman imagine a day when cancer could be treated with a single needle prick and no debilitating

The 'FLU' - who needs it !!??
Hi All Not a new subject I know - I see Yoga Bonnie had it a few months ago and had to cancel a trip. I do realise the UK is currently in the midst of a heatwave and likely not conducive to spreading flu bugs - but down here in the OZ Winter this year they have been rather 'rife'. Apparently 'they' dished

Pneumonia Vaccine
Morning all, after a chest X-ray and a spirometer test, I have been diagnosed with mild COPD. Last week the nurses suggested I have the pneumonia vaccine. I asked her if there are any side effects, she said only a pain in my arm 😃 Has anyone here had any other side effects from the vaccine. I ask

I should know better, actually I do
I should know better and actually I do but that does not stop me when it comes to needles. Yesterday I had to get a flu shot. No big deal to normal people but as we all know when it comes to any sort of needle I am the biggest baby in the world. Actually they are probably braver than me. It amazes

Shingles Vaccination concern
Has anyone had the shingles vaccination after ceasing to take steroids? I tapered to zero successfully 6 weeks ago but I still have to take 15mg of methotrexate a week (I have GCA). Because I will become ineligible by the end of the year due to my age, my doctor is anxious I have the vaccination as

Shingles Vaccine
My Rheumatologist has recommended that I get a shingles vaccination before starting biologics. Anyone else under 50 and received vaccine? Any adverse events? I’ve read mixed reviews since no studies have been conducted on safety of vaccine in patients with autoimmune disease. I am getting it tomorrow

Someone asked about Low Dose Naltrexone.
I thought I would post this on main site so that people can read. I have an unusual journey. I have been on LDN for about 2 weeks now. I am not sure if it has helped but I think that perhaps it is along with the other things I am trying. I developed disabling PMR in late March of this year (2019).

Thank you.
Thank s ladies for replying to my post about the Shingles Vaccine. I don't think I am going to have it, I am having a bad time reducing the Pred without something else to worry about at the moment. Hope I am doing the right thing. Jenny x
