Experiences with

Shingles vaccine

Has anyone had problems with the Pfizer booster and the flu vaccine? I had both given, one in each arm, 10 days ago and since then I have felt tired, weak and shaky. Has anyone else had a similar reaction? I had been doing so well, my current state is hugely disappointing!

I was diagnosed with CLL in 2003 and have neither had nor needed treatment so far. However I have had 3 Pfeizer jabs and still have no antibodies. I am now being told I must have a Flu jab. What's the point? I clearly don't produce antibodies.

Hi, just wondering if any other folks experienced night sweat/blotchy skin on chest next day and generally under par, following my first over 65s flu jab? Am ok now but felt unwell for 3-4 days and maybe there was something in the vaccine that I'm allergic to?

After four years of remission I've had my first flare-up which has reduced mobility bg 50%. It came on within a few hours of my 2021 'flu jab. Have any other forum members been similarly affected, please?

About 1.3 million people in the UK are on methotrexate for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It stops flare-ups

About to get my Covid booster shot in Ontario, Canada. Already double-dosed. About to get my flu shot at the same time. I am assuming that doing so is safe if not recommended? Can someone answer this question with some certainty? I have had CLL for 19 years (!) and more recently, a lymphoma, both of

But from evening I started feeling so so tired I didn’t want to sit I just wanted to lie down. Had an awful night feeling nauseous. By morning earache and throat ache

"About 1.3 million people in the UK are on methotrexate........ A previous study from Korea showed that a fortnight's break from methotrexate immediately after the flu vaccine increased the patients' immune response to that jab. ......The University of Nottingham researchers.....will recruit 560 methotrexate
