HRT
Had a RCA STEMI on Sunday night just gone. I’m now home and starting to process everything. Saw my GP today and he’s taken me off my HRT. Said I could now have free flu jab tho! I would rather have the HRT, do I definitely have to come off it? Looking online just reflects the ever changing stances on

New shingles vaccine
Everyone being treated for Prostate Cancer should consider getting the newer shingles vaccine. Given in two shots a couple of months apart, it is 90% effective compared to 50% for the old vaccine. Shingles can be very painful and debilitating and you should ask you PCP to arrange for the shots. I am

Flu and Flare-up
In early March I caught the flu. I completely lost my appetite. I didn't want to eat anything. On March 8th I felt so bad that I requested a home visit from the GP. She said that this year in the local community the flu seemed to be worse in the patients who had had the flu jab. She prescribed Tamiflu

Shingles shots and PCa meds?
I'm on Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone and soon on Xgeva. Has anyone been aware of any interactions between these meds and the new shingles vaccine? I will see my MO later this month but, as we all know, they don't know everything.

Precipitating factors
Maybe I’ve missed it, but I haven’t seen much discussion regarding what people think may have triggered their PMR. I realize I likely have the genetic make-up that allows my immune system to flip into overdrive, causing PMR. But I believe it doesn’t just occur; there is a triggering event. Clearly to

INFLUENZA!
I have it. Had to cancel my trip to Sweden. feel VERY sorry for myself. BUT things could be way way worse. I had the flu shot and am hoping for a lighter case. I am thinking that the prednisone made me susceptible to the flu but that it now will HELP my lungs with the inflammation and coughing! a double

I had PMR age 60, resolution after 1 year of prednisone. Now, 9 years later, it’s back.Any others with a long interval between episodes?
First time was after shingles vaccine; resolved and was able to taper off meds. Absolutely no problems for 9 years- thought it was gone for good. This time no obvious trigger except maybe stress.

MRI Results
Had my appointment with neurologist. Hadn't seen him in almost two years. NO NEW LESIONS!! Seems apparent the relapse (call it pseudo or whatever you want) was from the shingles vaccine. While I was there doc talked for an hour about anti-inflammatory diet. Gave me both Overcoming ME and Wahls Protocal

Flu Shot
My doctor always encourages me to get a flu shot every year...and I get one. Does anyone else get a flu shot annually?

PMR disappeared overnight
I was diagnosed with PMR 15 months ago and put on 30mg and tapered weekly down to 10mg. Last December I had a flu jab and developed a nasty cough and cold but overnight my PMR has gone! I have continued taking 3mg of prednisone day but a week ago dropped down to 2.5 and have since experienced hot flushes

Shingles vaccine side effects?
I had the first of 2 shots for shingles on Wednesday. Shringrex I believe. I asked what the side effects would be and all she said is “you’ll feel like crap for about 3 days and your arm is going to hurt”. Boy was she right! The 1st day, I could barely get out of bed and then called it a night at 5:00

Constant Infections
Hiya everyone, I returned to work in November last year, working at an infant school. I still have Afib and flutter and think I have occasional SVTs since the ablation last June but my heart has not been a major problem except for the tiredness from taking the drugs. I had my flu vaccine last year
