Hepatitis B vaccine before Ocrevus?
Anyone have to get a Hepatitis B vaccine prior to starting Ocrevus? I was asked to get the vaccine (which is actually a total of three doses; get the first two doses now) before starting O.

I had my blood drawn for the FM/a fibro test.
I had my FM/a blood test done Tuesday and it was shipped overnight to Los Angeles. I should know the results in 7-10 days (I hope).

Flu vaccine
The time for flu vaccination will be hear soon. Last year's vaccine was not much of a success. The choice this year seems to be the triple vaccine with a booster for the over 65s or the quad vaccine without booster for those under 65. I have Lupus antiphospholipid Syndrome and sjogrins. I am over 65

Essential Thrombocythaemia
I have had ET for 12 years + and am currently on a fairly high dose of Hydrea. I live in Australia but each year travel to the UK for several months. After having stable platelets for several months prior to my flight, I find they shoot up quite considerably when I have my blood tested in the UK. I

I've applied for the FM/a blood test.
Thanks to another member of this forum who posted information about the BCG tuberculosis vaccine clinical trials coming up I was able to research the FM/a test so I decided to apply for it online. The BCG theory sounds very promising to me. My daughter had sent me an email years ago with her theory

Beware of Shingles (Shingrix) vaccine!
I had an appointment with my Rheumatologist a couple of weeks ago and she advised me to have a Shingles vaccine. She said the new one is ok for people with Lupus. My brother in law had recently had Shingles and it was terrible for him so I thought, ok, I'll do it. Now, 2 weeks later, I am pretty sure

Difficulty getting diagnosed
Hello. This is my first post since joining. I have only been ill for a few weeks, an illness that seems to have come out of the blue. But maybe not when I look back. I will outline my problems in the hope that others have experienced a similar story and in the hope that they can give me some support

Unbelievable
I truly believe googling has gotten me to this point, after getting a flu shot I started to feel bad then I’d google how the shot could affect me. Shortly afterwards I had days of not feeling well then I went to the Er & was told acid reflux, went back the very next night & the doc was confused to why

Reoccurrence despite mitomycin
Hi everyone I’m sorry to say my recent cystoscopy revealed two tiny tumours. It would have been two years clear so I was devastated. I know this tends to come back but we all hope it’s not going to. Next turbt (#5) is in two weeks. Anyone have something similar happen? I’d been on mitomycin monthly

Thyroid and HPV
My daughter has had HPV vaccine. She has always been borderline and under the drs for continuous monitoring of her thyroid. Since the vaccine her TSH level has risen and she has become fatigued could it have started her thyroid to get worse?

New research showing that a BCG vaccination may help Type 1’s lower their average blood glucose level
Has anyone seen this research paper or similar suggesting that the BCG vaccination may help lower blood glucose in tyoe 1 diabetics? If confirmed it throws more light on why people get Type 1 and may offer hope if a future treatment. Potential mechanism for BCG vaccine reversal of type 1 diabetes: Data

Inhaler side effects
Hi all, I was diagnosed with asthma at around 12 and with the flu jab it has been controlled. I had the flu jab last September but recently had to take my inhaler more often. I used to be on a light brown one (unsure of the correct name) but stopped taking it 2/3 years back and just use the Ventolin

New Italian paper below. A number of years ago, I read that men with normal testosterone [T] have a poor response to the flu vaccine. T dampens the immune response & that affects antibody production following the flu shot. One theory was that a robust response might be catastrophic giving the type

Biologics question
Hi everyone I’m looking for some guidance about biologics for RA after a slightly odd experience at hospital. I had a review appointment as an emergency some weeks ago due to ongoing foot issues and feeling increasingly unwell. Hospital tested me for various things while there and it turned out I

Shingrix shingles vaccine approved by FDA
I just read this article published in the New York Times, April 10, 2018. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/well/why-you-should-get-the-new-shingles-vaccine.html The next to the last paragraph is probably most pertinent to us. I'm sure it hasn't been tested on people with PMR yet but perhaps with
