Reaction to the flu jab.
I wondered if anyone has had a reaction to the flu jab. I must have had about 16/17 in the past of which at least three or four must have been when I was on steroids with my first bout of PMR. Before that I have had them at work when I was nursing. Never a reaction and hardly a sore arm. This time

Flu jab if you are in remission?
I have looked over the various flu jab posts and see that the advice is to definitely get it! Is your advice any different for someone who is in remission? I have been off prednisone (for PMR) about 18 months. I have never had a flu jab because I luckily do not get the flu. I am very concerned that

Flu jab and blood thinners
My son (35) has just had his flu jab and was asked if he was taking blood thinners - not something I've ever been asked before. A quick search found that problems have occurred previously with patients taking warfarin, but I cannot find any reference to other blood thinners (I'm on clopidogrel) or if

Total thyroidectomy and the flu jab
Hi, I am 60 years old, I had a total thyroidectomy 2 years ago because of a substernal goitre and take Levothyroxine. When I contacted my GP practice to arrange my very first flu jab, the receptionist told me that my profile hadn’t flagged up on their system and therefore I wouldn’t be getting an invite

Flu jab and pneumonia?
I'm having a phone consultation with my GP soon and one of things I am planning on discussing is the flu jab. I know, as a lupus sufferer (diagnosed in March so still new to all this), I am supposed to get the pneumococcal jab every 5 years and the flu jab every year. I got the pneumococcal jab 4 weeks

No flu jabs available
I just went to the doctors to get my flu jab. They said that there were no flu jabs available for anyone under 65 even with pre existing health conditions, this is by government orders. I checked this out with several local pharmacies and it is correct. I am 60 with COPD, I feel like I am being thrown

A step toward a universal flu vaccine.
Each year, the flu vaccine has to be redesigned to account for mutations that the virus accumulates, and even then, the vaccine is often not fully protective for everyone. Researchers at MIT and the Ragon Institute of MIT, MGH, and Harvard are now working on strategies for designing a universal flu

Treatment done🙏🏼🙏🏼 With a smile
Bloods were good so was given my injection of Denosumab, Ibrance and Letrozole. Saw a really lovely nurse today who made me feel human. We laughed and swapped notes on apple crumble recipes. Was a pleasure. I told her I had lost a crown but she was happy for me to see what my dentist says. I asked about

Hi All, Happy to be here but not, as I'm sure you all get. Seems like a very supportive community which is lovely. I care for my husband who was diagnosed with probable MSA in 2017. Symptoms started occurring in 2014. So its been a weird one in the sense that for ages we weren't sure whether it was

Flu jab????
Hi, I have Lupus SLE and usually don't have a flu jab, as in the past it has always caused flare ups, but due to covid I'm wondering whether to have one this year and suffer the flare, as I do realise if I was unfortunate to get flu and covid i would be in trouble. Just wondering if anyone has experienced

Fed up of my lungs... anyone wanna swap? 😉😂 (an ode to the last 6 months 😉)
Hey everyone - this is more a rant/decompression cause I’m fed up than anything else so feel free to ignore! And I know there are others out there a lot worse off than me 😅 (I’ve been there myself) I think it hit me harder mentally and I’m more fed up cause the issues have come after a period of good

Hyrdroxychloroquine
Hi all. So after a lot of tests and some back and forths of seriously low white blood cells, my consultant has decided to take me off Mychophenalate and put me on a very low dose of Plaquenil (easier to say it that way) Now, when I was first diagnosed 14yrs ago with SLE, I have very little recollection
