Has anyone been advised to have the pneumonia vaccination this year?
I visited my local GP yesterday and she advised me that I should perhaps have it this year. I have already had the flu jab! Has anyone any experience with it? Any problems? I am trying to keep 'bug free' at the moment as my fourth ablation is being scheduled for January.

Botox and hypothyroidism
Hello all please could you give me your views on having Botox injections ? My eyelids are so droopy and heavy that they are making my eyes constantly irritated . I think a Botox injection would lift them out of my actual eyes. But I don’t have the flu jab and when I had a tetanus injection I was quite

Another step towards a universal flu vaccine. Building a better flu shot.
Each year millions of Americans become sick with the flu, hundreds of thousands are hospitalized and tens of thousands die. Getting the flu shot can reduce the chances of infection. But, at best, the vaccine is only effective 40% to 60% of the time, according to the CDC. Now Michigan State University

Erectile dysfunction drugs (Viagra/Cialis) and flu vaccine may work together to help immune system fight prostate cancer after surgery.
This is from 2018, source: The Ottawa Hospital. Canadian researchers have conducted effective mouse studies and are now planning a study involving patients. What is your opinion on this subject? I remember years ago that processed-"oncolytic" influenza and other viruses have already been tested, the

Should you have TWO flu jabs this winter? It seems the trusted injection wears off faster than we think.
Earlier this year, Professor Stanley Plotkin, a pioneer of vaccines, revealed that he has two flu jabs. The 87-year-old, from the University of Pennsylvania, has one in early autumn, followed by another in December each year. The reason? The trusted flu jab, it seems, wears off far faster than we think

To Go or Not To Go
Well; here it is flu and cold season and Thanksgiving is almost here in the US. I'm supposed to fly next Tuesday to see family and the airline has said expect a wait of 2-1/2 hours to get through security. My daughter's husband is not feeling well, my daughter has a cold and she has three little girls

APS, pregnancy and getting the flu shot?
Hi Everyone I hope you are all well. Well, I've made it to 12 weeks and all was looking positive so far on my last scan this week - baby is measuring 12 weeks, 4 days and had a strong heartbeat. I have now been discharged from the recurrent miscarriage clinic back to my local hospital and have my first

What are you doing to protect yourself now that its flu season?
Did you get a shot? Do you use medical masks in public? Avoid being around young school age kids? Do you have tips for staying healthy? I’ve had my pneumonia and flu shots. My hands are raw from constant washing but I know that’s one of the most important ways to keep colds and flu at bay. Any

Have flu, is extra B12 shot a good idea or not?
I usually get a flu shot (preservative-free for safety) but I waited too long this year and caught the flu. It's been four days of fevers and exhaustion and misery so far. Just horrid. I can see how flu can kill people. I think I'm turning a corner now though, as my symptoms are abating somewhat.

Flu vaccination side effects and pre-period flareup, help!
Anyone else had the flu vaccination? I've had mine, first ever; voucher from work. All fine, expected symptoms of achey arm, sore injection site, and feeling a little under the weather with the usual side effect symptoms listed. I know it's a Monday morning so we're all a bit tired but does anyone else

Flu jab & sickle cell cisis
Hi warriors! I'm in pain at the moment. I've not had crisis in years but it's happening now 3 days after getting a flu jab. I've always got a flu jab every year without falling into crisis. Is this a coincidence or the jab has triggered the crisis plus all the flu like symptoms (cold, cough & headache
