Flu vaccine
The time for flu vaccination will be hear soon. Last year's vaccine was not much of a success. The choice this year seems to be the triple vaccine with a booster for the over 65s or the quad vaccine without booster for those under 65. I have Lupus antiphospholipid Syndrome and sjogrins. I am over 65

Follow-on from GCA Relapse!
I saw a doctor this morning, (not my usual). He did indeed think that I was having another flare and told me to continue on 6mgs of pred. With regards to the stinging rash on my neck, he said it was not heat rash but looked like Shingles or maybe an allergic reaction to something. He gave me some

Shingles
Oh wise ones - please give me some advice. I am due to spend my usual Wednesday with my almost 98 year old mother tomorrow but I’ve just phoned her to confirm arrangements only to be told she has developed shingles, poor thing. Now, I’ve just been reading up about it and it seems to me that you can’t

APS and pneumoccal vaccine any pros/cons?
I have a flu vaccination every year. I have APS diagnosed in 2016. This year my GP has suggested I have the Pneumococcal vaccine. Anybody have any views regarding this vaccine.

I've applied for the FM/a blood test.
Thanks to another member of this forum who posted information about the BCG tuberculosis vaccine clinical trials coming up I was able to research the FM/a test so I decided to apply for it online. The BCG theory sounds very promising to me. My daughter had sent me an email years ago with her theory

Difficulty getting diagnosed
Hello. This is my first post since joining. I have only been ill for a few weeks, an illness that seems to have come out of the blue. But maybe not when I look back. I will outline my problems in the hope that others have experienced a similar story and in the hope that they can give me some support

Unbelievable
I truly believe googling has gotten me to this point, after getting a flu shot I started to feel bad then I’d google how the shot could affect me. Shortly afterwards I had days of not feeling well then I went to the Er & was told acid reflux, went back the very next night & the doc was confused to why

Reoccurrence despite mitomycin
Hi everyone I’m sorry to say my recent cystoscopy revealed two tiny tumours. It would have been two years clear so I was devastated. I know this tends to come back but we all hope it’s not going to. Next turbt (#5) is in two weeks. Anyone have something similar happen? I’d been on mitomycin monthly

Shingrix shingles vaccine approved by FDA
I just read this article published in the New York Times, April 10, 2018. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/well/why-you-should-get-the-new-shingles-vaccine.html The next to the last paragraph is probably most pertinent to us. I'm sure it hasn't been tested on people with PMR yet but perhaps with
