New to Olumiant/Barcinitib
Hi, I have RA and have just started taking Olumiant. I’m noticing a good improvement and I’m happy with it so far (in my 2nd week). I am however kicking myself now though for not having a flu shot before I started. I’m in Victoria, Australia and get a really bad cold/flu like illness almost every winter

Sickness and diarrhoea- what do I do about my tablets please?
Oh dear , I’ve kicked off the new year in a bad way ! I’ve been up since about 3 am and can’t keep anything - not even sips of water down . I guess I’ve caught a gastric bug , unless I’m having my first flare ! I’ve had my flu jab . Everywhere aches , particularly my shoulders and I’m shivering . What

Prescribing cascade
Although not directly applicable to PMR/GCA probably a lot of us may have this happen to us. Consider, for example, a man in his late seventies, fit and active, “routinely prescribed” (like so many of his age group) a cholesterol lowering statin. Two months later, he consults his doctor with muscular

Asthma and colds
I have spent the last couple of months trying to get my asthma and asthma cough under control. I am finically feeling like I’m winning and I am given my flu Jab and now have a cold! My airways are narrow and full of mucus and this morning I could hardly get air in. I was so scared. I am waiting for

Flu
Here goes!I have severe COPD and I had a flu jab approx. 1 month ago. About 10 days after that I felt I was going down with an infection and I used my rescue pack - Amoxycillin and Preds. I felt functional, although poorly, whilst taking the steroids but the day I finished them was devastating. I could

Delivering TB vaccine intravenously dramatically improves potency, study shows.
Two billion people worldwide are infected with Mtb, with 10 million new cases of active tuberculosis (TB) and 1.7 million deaths each year. Prevention of pulmonary infection or disease in adolescents and adults would have the largest effect on the epidemic by controlling Mtb transmission3. The only licensed

Flu shot effects
Two days ago I got a flu shot because I have two young children and am frequently around my elderly grandparents. Most years I remember it being a non issue but this year I feel really knocked out. I'm run down, tired and achey and even a little nauseated today. I even felt cold this afternoon and laid

Additional flu shot
Happy Thanksgiving to all the members of the club no one elected to join. My wife and I had flu shots in early October and the Doc said that it would be wise for me to have another flu shot in late December or early January. Anyone who went through chemotherapy been told this? I finished chemo in

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
