Methotrexate and constant infections
Does anyone suffer with the same problem . Since I have been taking mtx I seem to pick up any infections that are around. Every time I visit my grandchildren I bring something home with me. Back in January whilst I was visiting my four year old grandson went down with bacterial pneumonia and I managed

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

Acute urinary retention post viral meningitis
Hi, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks in February 2019 for Viral Meningitis. I developed urinary retention in the hospital and a Foley catheter was placed to keep my bladder drained. I was discharged with the catheter and it was removed on March 6th (5 weeks after originally placed) but I was still unable

Early side effects from ADT + radiation

Dad literally had his first hormone shot 6 days ago, and just started radiation to one spine met and also his prostate bed 5 days ago (prostate removed in 2010). The treatment has already knocked

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

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

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

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

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

A change for the better at last.
Hi friends, went to have another Cystoscope yesterday, the good news was that the doctor saw no new tumour. So recommended for me to start the BCG treatment, which will be done at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. So hopefully I can tolerate it. As there is no alternative, for me as my heart is not up

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?

After my Bladder Cancer diagnosis, along with CIS and having had 3 years of BCG, it was nothing compared to how friends and relatives reacted. To say I was ostracized is an understatement. After informing those who knew me, the emails and telephone calls stopped. It was though I had an infectious disease

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
