BCG vaccine - now, later & side effects
I’m keen to hear about parents’ recent experiences of their newborn receiving the BCG vaccine, please - what the side effects were and whether anyone paid to get it a bit later on (and how much it cost). I’m due to give birth in the next few weeks. I’ve been told that the BCG vaccine will be offered

Seems apparent the relapse (call it pseudo or whatever you want) was from the
shingles
vaccine
. While I was there doc talked for an hour about anti-inflammatory diet. Gave me both Overcoming ME and Wahls Protocal to read. Being open minded and reading.

PMR and Zostavax vaccine for Shingles
Hi, I know that this topic has been covered before but I thought I would add my own experience of a GP who flatly refuses to believe that there could be any link between my receiving the Zostavax live
vaccine
for
Shingles
in September 2018 and my subsequent diagnosis of PMR 6 months later.

Flu Shot or Not?
I live in Perth, WA and we are experiencing a bad flu epidemic. I usually have a flu shot but haven’t had one since my PMR diagnosis last November after reading on this forum that some people thought the flu shot may have been a PMR trigger. Appreciate any thoughts and comments.

Shingles vaccine side effects?
I had the first of 2 shots for shingles on Wednesday. Shringrex I believe. I asked what the side effects would be and all she said is “you’ll feel like crap for about 3 days and your arm is going to hurt”. Boy was she right! The 1st day, I could barely get out of bed and then called it a night at 5:00

Waiting to do next set of liver enzyme tests, obsessing about everything!
New to this group and want to thank all of you who contribute your stories, it’s been eye opening to say the least. I will do my next round of liver enzyme tests next week, which will be 3.5 weeks since the first tests. I will be traveling for 1 month shortly thereafter, that is why it wasn’t scheduled

To vax or not to vax?
Would appreciate the collective wisdom of the forum on the this one, please. My surgery has written to offer me a shingles vaccination. I'm not anti- vaccination at all, but I am being offered the live vaccination and I do have some concerns: I am on 2.5ml Prednisolone for PMR (originally started on

Post Hysterectomy Thyroid Woes
Hi all. I would truly appreciate any advice you can offer before my next doctor visit in 2 days time. After years of unsuccessfully controlling debilitating cramps and severe bloodloss, I finally relented to having a hysterectomy on Feb 13th 2019. I kept both ovaries, but after a 5 day stay in hospital

HRT
Had a RCA STEMI on Sunday night just gone. I’m now home and starting to process everything. Saw my GP today and he’s taken me off my HRT. Said I could now have free flu jab tho! I would rather have the HRT, do I definitely have to come off it? Looking online just reflects the ever changing stances on

Shingles Vaccination
A couple of weeks ago, one of our Practice Nurses suggested to me that I should have a shingles vaccination. I said ok, but it would need to be the Shingrix version, not Zostavax. They didn't have any Shingrix in stock, but said they would order it. Yesterday, they called back to say that this was a

Flu and Flare-up
In early March I caught the flu. I completely lost my appetite. I didn't want to eat anything. On March 8th I felt so bad that I requested a home visit from the GP. She said that this year in the local community the flu seemed to be worse in the patients who had had the flu jab. She prescribed Tamiflu
