Does the flu jab cause polymyalgea
My husband has Polymyalgea and is now on steroids. He has suffered quite severely but the steroids are definately helping. He is insistent that the problem was caused by having the flu jab. Has anyone had this theory suggested before ?

To boost or not to boost
Finally got a reply from my haematologist saying yes to a booster jab, yes at the same time as flu jab and that any make of vaccine is acceptable as a booster. Freddie

How do you know if you are suffering from long Covid or from worsening asthma?
I have suffered from asthma and breathing difficulties for a number of years however in the past two years it has got progressively worse. A few years back I was wakening up 'dead' not being able to breath and literally that bad that my wife took a video of one of my episodes and when I showed it to

Wait & Watch - What does it entail?
I’m relatively new to the CLL community. My diagnosis was incidental while following up with blood tests post COVID infection. I’m currently on W&W with a Rai score of 0. This community has been a great support and I’ve learnt a lot here. It has given me hope & reassurance. I’m still confused about

Consultation with Haematologist Today
Just had my yearly telephone consultation with my haematologist. My bloods are stable over the past year. Yippee! He's made an appointment for August 2022. He did make some startling claims however: 1. You can get a live shingles vaccine if you are not having treatment. 2. Your reaction to covid vaccination

Covid Vaccine with Vanishing Twin?
I am due to have my first Covid vaccine today and am having a last minute panic due to the fact that I have a demised twin. I lost Twin B at 8 weeks and, at our 16 week scan, it was still there. I am 18 weeks now and have been told that the demised twin will be reabsorbed by both my body and our remaining

Past VM and the COVID Vaccine
My son had viral
meningitis
four years ago and is concerned that the
vaccine
will trigger a a viral
meningitis
attack. With this new Delta variant I am much more concerned over the possibility of his children/wife being exposed and bringing COVID home. Any negative reactions to the jab?

Any issues with Covid vaccination and AF
I’m having a phizer Covid vaccine on Monday (I know it’s late but Japan is way behind) and wondered if any fibbers had issue with it. The regular flu vaccine sometimes makes me skip a few beats but was wondering if the vaccine for covid has triggered anyone?

Shingles vaccine
People in the uk, don't shoot me. Instead, lobby the nhs to cover the Shingrix vaccine which is over 90% effective, and much more effective in older people than Zostavax. Also because it is not a live vaccine it is more appropriate for people on immune suppressing medication. If in the US you can

Has anyone been offered the Pneumococcal vaccine?
Just had a call from my GP surgery offering me this vaccine saying that I qualified for this due to my medications. I’ve asked for more information so will await a call from the nurse but wondered if anyone knew anything about it? Not sure I want any more vaccines at the moment!

Covid Vaccine. Second or third trimester?
I wanted to postpone the vaccine until the third trimester. But now, with the change of the mask mandate in the UK, it might have to anticipate it. I am scared though. Did anyone have bad experiences taking the vaccine in the second trimester? (Even the NHS flu vaccine is only received at 28 weeks..)
