shingrix
Does anyone know how long you have to leave it after rutuximab before having the shingles vaccine. I had infusion in December & my GP has never offered this or the pneumonia jab so was going to chase this up. Tia

Shingles Vaccination
Hi folks, just been sent a link for the Shingles Vaccine, is this something anyone else has had. I wasn't aware that when taking Methotrexate this was possible. Unfortunately I can never get through to my surgery to ask the question. Thank you

Shingles vaccination - or not?
Hi all, hope to get some helpful advice on subject of shingles vaccination. Shingrix is available in my country (Norway) so I enquired of my GP about any recommendation in the light of my long-term polymyalgia (7+ years, maintained on 2.5 mg daily pred for about a year but unbelievably resistant to even

Yes, You CAN have the Shingles Vaccine
Hi Everyone, I'm writing this just in case there is anyone out there who thinks they can't have the shingles vaccine because they are on pred. I believed this and refused the vaccine. I later found It was only true if you were on over 20mgs of pred (which I am not). Last October, a new vaccine

Does asthma severity tend to reflect that of sinuses?
I wasn’t sure where to post this but please tell me if it’s out of place as I’l move it. Basically I’ve had chronic sinusitis with polyps for over a decade. It is more chronic inflammation that’s the issue, with meds the polyps are only small/secondary to the inflammation. I don’t have asthma but

shingles jab anyone?
I had a very bad bout of shingles three years ago. Yesterday my doctors surgery rang to say I qualified for a jab! I tried to ask if it was worthwhile for someone who had already had shingles and was told she was the receptionist! Fair enough but then you can’t speak to a medic anymore Any thoughts

Cold virus
I’ve had PMR for two years now and on 8mg pred attempting my second tapering cycle. I’ve have a really heavy cold now for over a week which started as a mild cold for two weeks before that. I’m wondering if my immune system is reducing my ability to get on top of this and allowing it to prevail much

Shingles and MTX
I'm due to go visit family but brother-in-law has shingles. Normally I wouldn't worry as I have had chicken pox but the NHS in advice on taking MTX says to contact the doctor if you've been exposed to shingles (which suggests we should avoid contact with shingles patients). Has anyone been advised to

pneumonia vaccination
I have been told to get my pneumonia jab , i’m not worried about sore arm, but i’m just a bit concerned i might feel poorly after. I didn’t feel poorly after my flu jab or covid booster. Any reassurance would be appreciated. Thank you.

What causes cold sweats?
I’ve been taking Prednisolone for PMR since May 2021. I’ve been very gradually reducing and have been on 4mg for 1 month. I take the Pred at about 5am with yoghourt and banana. I had Covid 2 weeks ago. I didn’t up the Pred dose. I have no PMR pain. I feel ok in the mornings but have high anxiety

Feeling cold all the time
Hi, I have scleroderma and reynauds and while I am used to having cold hands and feet of late I am very cold all over, even my core. I was wondering if I might be low on some vitamins or minerals and was hoping someone might be able to advise. Regards, Darren

Is pseudamonas contagious??

Nothing seems to help with cold feet except my heated mat and gloves for my hands.

Saw Cardiologist today, now more anxious than ever.
Hi Everyone Thank you all for your lovely replies to my original post. I saw the cardiologist today and he says he thinks my PH is primarily caused by my asthma/COPD. He didn't put me on any medications at this stage. He wants an ultra sound done on my heart in September [[2 months away!] to compare

Cold Turkey
Hello Everyone, What happens if i just "Cold Turkey" Stop the 6.5 mg of methylprednisolone? I'm so sick of it all. I've gotten very low on meds (even zero for a few days) and the pain and stiffness return so bad i can't function. If i just quit, what's the worst that can happen?
