PA and flu.
Hi all. I have Autoimmune PA and autoimmune hypothyroidism. I am suffering badly from flu and can't seem to get any relief. Does anyone have any remedies that work please. I had my flu jab on the 7th October. And have gradually felt unwell, and now have full blown really bad flu. Any advice would be

Flu shots
I haven’t had a flu shot for many years nor have l had the flu for many years. However, my husband keeps bugging me that l should get one. I have read so many negative things about them? Should l? Shouldn’t l? I have been feeling kind of not perfect ... sort of like l am coming down with a sniffle

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

Crazy few days
Hello This is my first time writing in this group. I went to see my gynae last week about a possible other cyst (I've had previous ones) and to discuss ivf and we are starting ASAP. Yesterday I had my day 21 appointment and got given my meds; I did my first injections of buserelin last night which

Quick update - reaction to flu jab
The swelling is now going down and much less painful so I don’t need to see GP but I have emailed reporting my reaction. Thanks to everyone who responded.

Reaction to flu jab
I had my flu jab on Saturday and was told I may have a slightly sore arm. I have an area roughly the size of grapefruit which is red, inflamed, swollen and with a rash and the area is increasing rather than decreasing. It is incredibly painful and I can’t lie on my left side. Saturday/Sunday I had

Recurring Bladder cancer.
Did a cystoscope in March of 16, They found 4 tumors one as big as a golf ball. Did the removal and lucky it was not through the wall yet. I did the BCG treatment with no complications. I routinely did the cystoscope to keep a eye on a recurrence. In 2018 there was a small tumor growing. I had it removed

Vaccines
Hi folks, This post might not be about healthy eating but is about health in general. Now, there are people out there who are sceptical to the safety of vaccines. Some say they are absolutely safe and some will say they are a danger. I would be one of those to say that they are a danger. Some people

Leflunomide and the Flu Injection.
My rheumatologist thinks it is time for a change of medication as I have been on Methotrexate for quite a time and am not getting any better and in fact am getting worse all the time. She is prescribing Leflunominde. I have been looking at all the write ups about it and one of them says that you shouldn't

Shingles Vaccine
My Rheumatologist has recommended that I get a
shingles
vaccination before starting biologics. Anyone else under 50 and received
vaccine
? Any adverse events? I’ve read mixed reviews since no studies have been conducted on safety of vaccine in patients with autoimmune disease.

Flu Jab
Hi ladies👋 Just wondering if anyone can help with this.... I need to get a flu jab done but it is near impossible to get an appointment with my doctor. I’ve tried to go to Tesco but they won’t give the flu jab to pregnant ladies and said I had to go to my GP. Does anyone happen to know if there is

Feeling a tad sensitive maybe
But had nightmare trip to nurse for flu jab and blood test yesterday. Was told in no uncertain terms that just (!) being on steroids did not qualify me for a flu jab, when I questioned this she said well, I will check if you like. She rang someone and came off the phone and said ‘there, i was right,
