Shingles Vaccine
There has been a lot of advertising on Classic FM that older people with immune deficiency diseases should get the anti shingles vaccine. I asked the question a few years ago and it was stated by Prof Harrison that this was a live vaccine and was therefore dangerous to us with ET/PV especially if we

chicken pox
I would appreciate advice on chicken pox I had chicken pox as an adult when my children got it. I have also had a shingles vaccine. My grandson is just recovering and we’re waiting to see if his sister catches it. I’m on 5mg prednisone and we’re wondering if I should still be careful and stay clear

shingles vaccination
I thought I posted but something went wrong! I have recurring shingles, had it since age 25. I have it currently. I read the shingles post and see shingrix is best option - I have pmr and on very low dose steroid at 2per day dropping slowly to one per day. (10 per week). I want a private vaccination

Shingles vaccination
I know catching shingles with PMR is a complete no-no, but does anyone know if we are OK having the vaccination? I imagine if we are, it’s a good idea

On Benapali. Fungal infection treatment advice needed.
I’m on Benapali for 6 months and my RA is under control. However I have developed some mild fungal infections; Ringworm on Face, fungal infection on toenails, and start of athletes foot. Has anyone had more than 1 of these infections simultaneously and if so how were they treated ? Currently I’m treating

Thanks all…found all the information I need re shingles vaccination. Now aware there’s a non live one, Shingrix, but as I’m 62 it may take a bit of support (or saving up!) to get it.Only another 8 years to wait! Why isn’t this offered as routine for us folks….know it doesn’t provide full immunity..what

Rituximab and tetanus (etc.)
This is to all my fellow immune suppressed folks about rituximab. I've been unable to find solid information, and my consultants aren't sure, so wondered if anyone here knows. Does rituximab impact our tetanus jabs and similar? I was up to date on all my boosters, but got bit by a tick on Saturday (think

Cold and sore throat
Hi guys, I have been on benepali for 5 weeks and I think it's working, I still have to take some codiene and naproxen but not as much as before. I caught a cold from my granddaughter last Thursday with a sore throat, sneezing and now developed a cough every now and then. Do you know if I can carry on

Lyme Disease can cause AF & much more!
Hi Guys, just a short timely message to check for tics if you have been outside in long grass or heathland. LD can trigger an irregular heart beat. The following is the best I've read in a while https://heartmdinstitute.com/health-and-wellness/lyme-disease-symptoms-prevention-treatment/

Finger nails going white
Hello - I wonder if anyone has had an issue with their nails? My finger nails have started going white where the bed is and kind of goes down my nail. I am not sure if the nail is lifting up off the nail bed but it might be. I have the same issue with my toe nails - the chiropodist said it was fungal

shingles vaccination
Has anyone had experience of shingles vaccination and if so, any downsides? I have let my fingertips do a bit of research and found that Zostavax has been withdrawn in USA but they are giving Shingrix. It appears that Z is a live vaccine and Shingrix is inactive and more suitable for immunosuppressed

Shingles is urgent!
After a post about Shingles, it is worth pointing out that if you think you have Shingles, contact GP immediately or emergency 'phone number if out of hours as the antivirals have to be prescribed as soon as possible to help. I had Shingles a couple of years ago while on Pred (no Actemra or anything
