Shingles vaccine
My husband has been called in for a shingles vaccination. Am i correct that he should ask for a non live vaccine as the love vaccine poses a risk to me as I am immune suppressed? I seem to remember hearing this somewhere. Still struggling to get answer fro my nurse advice line. Thanks

Methotrexate and Shingrix Vaccine
Could someone please advise whether I should stop my Methotrexate injection before I receive the shingles vaccine, my Pred reduction seems to be going well and I am worried I will have a flare without the Methotrexate. Have finally got down to 7mg for the first time in 12 years.🤞🤞

A Kinda Update.
As things stand I have finished my BCG treatment which it seems has failed. I visited my GP and she asked how I was - gave me a script for to wet my mouth and some Folic Acid. I mentioned so pain I have in ribs - not very bad but there,. She prodded my ribs and yes there was some (not bad pain).

Booster jab?
Hi I am concerned that my PMR began after my last booster/flu jab. My Doc also says she has heard of other cases relating to this. So as I qualify for the next round of jabs I am seriously considering not having it. I would appreciate any comments.

Vaccines
Hello everyone.Diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Is it really good to have my pneumoccocal and flu vaccines? How really important it is with bronchiectasis? And how sure it is effective? Thank you. May I have an advice to those who have taken the vaccines already?

POST-HERPETIC NEURALGIA
Hi, first time on here and hopefully might find some advice, if not it might prompt some to ensure they get the appropriate shingles vaccine. I was diagnosed with CLL in 2014 with my first round treatment in 2017. This went reasonably well and I then went 4 years before it was decided that I would need

Just another pain
Since Christmas I've had a pain all around the top of my leg close to my pelvis. It's left me struggling to walk even worse than before. I don't go out because of my mobility and becoming breathless. But this has also stopped me going for investigations into a constant UTI. I told them there was no way

CLL and Seniors super flu vaccine
With CLL, are there any serious side effects after getting the" full" dose seniors flu vaccine. Also , does it matter if I take ibuprofen as compared to acetaminopfen once in awhile ? Thank you .

non live shingles vaccine
I will be having my shingles vaccine soon (70 in May) - should I ask for non live vaccine - Shingrax? I take 6 mg of prednisolone a day - GP says live vaccine ok if on less than 7.5 mg but check with nurse - should I go private if GP won’t let offer non live vaccine?

Severe Cold, to Bronchitis; PMR has not returned
Had gotten a cold that became tenacious, as after 1 week of a head cold it progressed to my chest. A week later I had Bronchitis for the first time in my life and starting with week 3 my GP put me on a Prednisone routine of 40 mg, 30, 20, 10 over a course of 10 days. As if that wasn’t enough, she

Pain Relief Suggestions
Hello Everyone My first time posting, but i do read the posts that are relevant. Bit of background first: I am hoping for some new ideas. I have had RA since 2010, beautifully controlled by Enbrel. Unfortunately a few years ago I was told I had to go onto a bio similar. I was very anxious about changing
