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

BCG vaccine - now, later & side effects
I’m keen to hear about parents’ recent experiences of their newborn receiving the BCG vaccine, please - what the side effects were and whether anyone paid to get it a bit later on (and how much it cost). I’m due to give birth in the next few weeks. I’ve been told that the BCG vaccine will be offered

Shingles vaccine update
2 months ago I had the first of the two Shingrix vaccines and had a pretty awful reaction. Horrible arm soreness, blisters in my throat, throat swelling, fatigue so bad I really did not want to move. GP told me to go ahead and get the second shot. Hemeo doc said get the second shot. CLL specialist said

Flu Shot or Not?
I live in Perth, WA and we are experiencing a bad flu epidemic. I usually have a flu shot but haven’t had one since my PMR diagnosis last November after reading on this forum that some people thought the flu shot may have been a PMR trigger. Appreciate any thoughts and comments.

Waiting to do next set of liver enzyme tests, obsessing about everything!
New to this group and want to thank all of you who contribute your stories, it’s been eye opening to say the least. I will do my next round of liver enzyme tests next week, which will be 3.5 weeks since the first tests. I will be traveling for 1 month shortly thereafter, that is why it wasn’t scheduled

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

My mental health after meningitis
Hello guys, Before I start just want to say that I am glad I found a forum like this because it will allow me to connect to others who suffered from meningitis. So I got viral meningitis 9 years ago when I was 10 and I got it through a virus called the "adenovirus". I was knocked out completely unconscious

Post Hysterectomy Thyroid Woes
Hi all. I would truly appreciate any advice you can offer before my next doctor visit in 2 days time. After years of unsuccessfully controlling debilitating cramps and severe bloodloss, I finally relented to having a hysterectomy on Feb 13th 2019. I kept both ovaries, but after a 5 day stay in hospital
