Annual Flu Jab/Shot
Today, I received my 2020annual influenza immunization. I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept. 2013. Currently I use 7 mg. Prednisone. I have had an annual flu shot every year since being diagnosed with PMR.. No negative effects or problems as a result. On this Forum, every year there are several questions

Flu jab and tapering
Recently diagnosed and now slowly tapering from 35mgs, about to start 30mg after being on 35 for two weeks. Not much help at all from G.P., taking me off prednisolone too quickly, and now he has left it in my hands! I am a retired nurse but I'm also a sufferer of P.M.R. who is frightened

Flu jab before or after cardioversion
I am due to have DC cardioversion in 10 days. Any thoughts on whether I should have flu jab this week or post cardioversion. I wouldn’t want the side effects of the flu jab to bring on AF and makes the CV meaningless. Thoughts very much appreciated. Thank you

To Vaccinate or not to vaccinate, that is the question!
Hello everyone! I wonder whether I might ask if anyone with RA has had a flu vaccination and whether this is considered a safe thing to have considering how RA affects the immune system. I was diagnosed in 2014 and have been taking Methotrexate interjects 17.5mg weekly. Never had one before, but now

Day 258: Colds and Tiredness
It's amazing how a cold and tiredness can kill your motivation and turn your healthy eating on it's head. Time to pick myself up, dust myself off and try again tomorrow. Had a burger, two beers and a Choux bun! Going to try and keep myself busy and stocked up on water tomorrow to see if I can make it

Kidney failure following liver transplant
I'm now 7 weeks post transplant and my liver is working perfectly, but at clinic this week my kidney blood tests were elevated to moderate (stage 3) kidney failure. Is this common following a transplant and is it something that will improve or continue to be a concern or get worse? P.s. I am diabetic
