Covid and flu vaccines
I unexpectedly had Covid and flu vaccinations today whilst at the doctor's for something else. Was putting it off but glad it's done now. Today is the day I usually inject my MTX and one nurse said give it a miss this week whilst another said to do it as normal. I decided to give it a miss. Is there

Flu shot
I got the flu vaccine on Saturday. Since then, I've had a burning pain in my upper right leg. I think it's a side effect of the flu shot. Muscle pain is listed as a side effect. What do you think? Thanks!

Use of NSAIDs in lieu of steroids

Does anyone know how long you have to leave it after rutuximab before having the shingles vaccine. I had infusion in December & my GP has never offered this or the pneumonia jab so was going to chase this up. Tia

reducing Prednisolone
I have had PMR for eight years and for the last five, I have been on 3 mg of prednisolone. My GP was concerned that I had been on Pred for so long. My blood sugar is normal as is my DEXA scan, although it does show slight deterioration in my spine. However, it’s within the normal range. First rheumatologist

hello
I was diagnosed with PMR about four years ago. Generally I am a positive person and I don’t dwell on my symptoms but getting off prednisolone seems to be impossible. I get down to 1mg then it flares again. I’m beginning to see a correlation between the flu vaccination and a flare up. I try to think

Shingles Vaccine Update
Well I never!! I woke to a text message from our GP's surgery to say that I am eligible for a shingles vaccination with a link to book in with a nurse. My GP's obviously looked up the guidelines & though better of her decision! I'm just hoping that after the fight to get it I don't have any adverse

Dizziness
I’m really struggling with almost constant dizziness along with all too frequent nausea. It has been on going for a good few weeks It may be a coincidence but I think it started after my last Covid and Flu jab, can’t be sure, it may have started just before. I also had a sinus infection after

Shingles Vaccine

I told her I think I am. She said you don’t qualify just because your are on Methotrexate I told her I'm not on Methotrexate

When life gives you lemons...
So after a few horrendous years of infertility and another IVF failure pre-Christmas, my husband had a chat with me and said I need to stop "hiding away" and need to start socialising again and getting a bit of the "old me", the "pre-infertility me", the "pre-IVF me" back. I realised he was right. I've

COVID
Doea anyone have any advice. I had my ablation in September and a nurse told me not to have a flu jab or covid booster. I am now stuck at home with Covid. I am a little worried about it triggering AFib.

Strange Experience
Has anyone had a similar experience? I suddenly had an excruciating pain half-way down my calf on the outside of my right leg. This lasted about 12 hours but was on the same level as the pain I had when I had pulmonary embolisms 2 years ago. It was accompanied by a type of 'cramp' feeling round my entire

Waiting PMR Diagnosis
Started in September 2023 with stiff hips and buttocks, just woke up like that. Don't know if it was coincidence but this was 3 day's after a flu jab! Gradually over the next few weeks, hip's became stiffer, burning type pain at times down to the knees. Putting on lower half clothes and shoes became

RSV shot
hello, has anyone gotten the RSV shot having PMR and GCA? I am in between doctors so I thought I would ask here. I also need my Covid booster. No problem in the past with that or the flu shot. Thank you for your input!

Think I've made a big mistake over flu vaccine!
The short story is that I got the flu vaccine in France from the pharmacist as I wasn't well enough to have it at administered at the time. I took it with me in the car to Spain and it was administered at the pharmacy on Saturday. That was 15 days later. I did not realise until yesterday that it should

flu shot reaction with PMR
I had a flu shot a month ago and I am on 5mg of prednisone for PMR. My arm has been hurting since then. Has anyone else had this problem.
