Dr advice
Is there any dr on this site that can provide their thoughts on whether a PBC patient should get a flu vaccine? I am really on the fence and need some advice. Thank you.

Germ Season!
Hi all, As much as I love this time of year (fresh, crisp days, cosy evenings and comfy knits), I also hate it equally because everywhere I go, someone is coughing, spluttering or sneezing and it’s so hard to avoid! My colleague at work had a nasty cold this week and despite her being as careful as

I had my flu jab over a week ago then developed a tickly cough, breathlessness on exertion ( more than usual) and still don't feel 100% Has anyone else had a reaction after the flu jab?

Worried
I posted last week about my husband’s diarrhoea well when we saw the doc it had calmed down a bit and he said he could prescribe Imodium but was concerned that he then became constipated which was worse for him. Well it ramped up again he has been in tears with the pain he has haemorrhage as well so

Flu shot for seniors
Hello all, I’m about to get my flu shot and am wondering if the vaccine for seniors is stronger and would cause any more side effects or reactions? I’m 76,PMR/GCA, currently on 11 mg tapering to 10.

Shingles Vaccine
Shingles vaccine I am almost 16 years out with BP. Was wondering if any older BP sufferers got the shingles vaccination. If so, did it cause a flare up of BP or other side effects? I am very hesitant about it because it is the same virus as BP. Thank you.

Flu jab - still sitting on the fence
Sorry, it's me back again, still sitting on the fence about whether to have which flu jab. I have the choice of the one with the adjuvant, which I'm scared of in case I have a flare, or the quadrivalent one, which I had no problems with last year, but I've heard it doesn't really work if you are over

Flu shots
Hello! I work in a pediatric emergency department and am finishing my nursing degree. I am required to get the flu shot for both my job and my clinical rotations. I tolerated the flu shot last year, however this past year my symptoms greatly escalated before diagnosis. How have you reacted to the flu

Flu shot recommended for elders with CKD 3?
At 76 yrs and with Stage 3 CKD I am unsure whether or not the flue shot is recommended. Do others know or have suggestions? Maybe talk with the pharmacist who makes them available? Thank you.

Pneumonia Jab...is it safe for us?
Just been for my 2nd ever flu jab and was offered Pneumonia jab as well. Told the nurse I had ET and she advised I ask my consultant first. Are we allowed this? On another note, I was at a Halloween drag show in support of the LGBT community last night and was pulled up on stage to perform a 'dance

Flu Jab isn't as effective in Cirrhotics
Had my flu jab today and according to my doctor it is not as effective in people with cirrhosis but still a good measure to take to reduce the effects of influenza. Apparently the uptake by our immune system is compromised but he emphasized that it is still important for us to get the jab. Wishing you

Flu vaccine cuts infection severity and mortality according to US Centers of Disease studies. That's why it is recommended if you have CLL.
Given reports of people getting the flu after their flu vaccinations (there's no live virus, so getting the flu from the vaccination is impossible), or claiming that the flu vaccination provides little to no benefit, it is good to see the reduction in illness and mortality following vaccination being
