Shingles vaccination
Hi I’m on 2.5mg prednisolone for PMR and have just received a text from my G.P telling me I am eligible for a Shingles Vaccine. Can anyone tell me if this is safe to have with Prednisolone. Thanks

Shingles Vaccine
I have just been offered the Shingles Vaccine and have concerns about having it as it's alive vaccine as I understand people with APS should avoid live vaccines. Has anyone had this vaccine and was there any side effects .

Very Anxious about COVID Vaccine
Hello, everyone. I scheduled my first dose of the COVID vaccine for next Friday. I am very anxious about this because I had an adverse reaction to the flu shot. I had to be allergy tested for the COVID vaccine and I am not allergic to it. That is the good news. I know I need to go into this with a positive

Has anyone with RA used Blessed CBD Medical cannabis
Hello, after 2 years of treatment I stopped my Biologic Benepali last April 2021 (after 2 yrs it caused a severe, itchy, neck, chest and face rash that wouldn't go away with Betnovate and Piriton). Later in April, I had a steroid injection and my 2nd Astra Z (no after effects) On 16th June I paid £500

HPV vaccine / to get or not to get? 🤔
Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well/better. I have come here with a question. The medications that I am on seem to have weakened my immune system and voila HPV warts have appeared on me and nothing seems to help get rid of them. I consider getting the hpv vaccine (Gardasil) which I have read might

Does getting annual flu shot help fight against Covid-19?
Was wondering about this question and planning to ask my CLL and GP docs what they knew. Plus given all the HU posts on antibodies testing/protection against covid (or not) per post covid vaccine taking, has me thinking various vaccine questions. Since doc offices are closed today, I did the “no-no

Viral meningitis
I have had VM, unfortunately the virus was not a usual strain so I did not respond to any IV treatments they usually give to VM patients. I had to fight it myself with a temp of 40.2. How long will the headaches last? Been in hospital 3 weeks only recently discharged and scared for the future .Any advice

Dear friends, I have a ‘what would you do’ scenario that I’d really love your help with, please.
A short update for those following - When I saw my haematologist last week it was quite unpleasant, I think her impatience was due to her ridiculous workload or her frustration that she can’t really guide me. I dared not question her words or ask too many Q’s, I left it at a couple, one of them was re

Baricitinib and shingles
Hello all. I'm set to start Baricitnib next week and read that one of the side effects is shingles. As a result, I'm considering paying out of pocket for a non-live vaccine. I'm just wondering which other UK posters have done so? And if you did receive the non-live shingles vaccine, how did you go about

CLL and transformation to Richter Syndrome after having the flu vaccine
Help all, I have been reading the posts over the past few years, I’m so relieved to have found this support group. My father was diagnosed at 69 with CLL 9 years ago. He is now 78. He has never had treatment so far as his heamatologist said his numbers were not high enough. We live in Australia. He

Second AZ Covid injection
I recently had my second Astrazeneca vaccination. After the first one, there was no reaction at all, even after the yearly flu jab, I get arm swelling. The second injection was a whole different ball game. The evening of the second: Teeth chattering shivers, flu like aches, weakness that was so bad

Stress triggering meningitis
What are your thoughts on stress being a trigger for a viral infection and triggering viral meningitis and M.E? Do you think stress plays a contributing factor?

Shingles vaccination
I had a phone call from my GP to have a Shingles vaccine next week. I didn't manage to ask whether it will be a live or non-live vaccine. Last year I heard an acquaintance of mine with RA said she had been refused by her GP for the shingle vaccine because of RA. Anyone has the shingle vaccination

Covid vaccination?
Hi all This is a long shot but I've just been reading about the flu vaccine on here and wondering if my latest symptoms might be down to my first Covid vaccination ( AZ) in the middle of February. I started shoulder, neck stiffness, soreness last summer but ultrasound scan has shown tears in tendons
