Shingles vaccination
My husband was offered a shingles vaccination as he is now 70. The nurse said he may have a rash after a few days as a side effect from the live vaccine. If that happens does that put me at risk of getting shingles.

Starting NDT after failed T4, T4+T3, and T3 only experiments
After being messed around by a TSH blood test wielding junior endocrinologist for 12 months I found a very experienced, up-to-date and respected endo who agreed to treat me based on my symptoms (hooray!!) as long as I committed to adhering to a series of T4 / T3 experiments. Which I did, over a period

Still here....
My husband ,73, was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2015 and had tumour removed followed by one course of BCG. He reacted badly to BCG and hasn't had any more but has quarterly cystoscopy. Fortunately, he is well and has had no more tumours. He keeps disposable catheters for occasional use but is aware

Flu jab
Good afternoon - I was wondering what the general consensus is about this - never had it before - but am I more at risk after chemo this year ?

Friend has Shingles!
My very good friend has just found out she has Shingles, and is getting all the relevant anti viral treatment. My query is do I avoid contact with her until she is better? I had a good dose of chickenpox as a child. I have PMR and currently have just come out of an awful flare up, thankfully all pains

Relapse, and now I'm sure I'm a member of your elite club
Since I last posted, I've been undergoing more tests because even my new rheumatologist suspected I have something other than GCA/PMR. Tapered Prednisolone from 40mg to 35mg with no problem, both ESR and CRP returned to normal pretty quickly and the doctors didn't seem concerned that most of the symptoms

Flu Shot
I think some of have gotten your shot. I’m about to. I did look on CDC regarding mercury. Only in multi dose vials, to minimize contamination. So I’m good. No worries 😊

19 weeks today but don't feel pregnant.
I have had a horrible cold for a week now after taking the flu jab and at 19 weeks i expected to feel more baby movement but there is nothing. I know it's probably crazy for me to be worrying after we heard a strong heart beat at the 16 weeks scan. Has anyone had the same problem after a cold

Flu jab
I had a flu jab on Saturday, slept well and on Sunday didn’t have the slightest twitch so reduced my Ropinerole from 1.25 to 1mg last night and slept well again. The interesting thing is that last year I had a flu-like illness and dreading the rls( not being able to be active ) but had no rls. When I

Shingles and contact
I'm 8 days into shingles and caught them early and on Acivlovir 5 times a day. This guy I really like wants to meet me in couple of days and I'm unsure if I can infect him even with a kiss. They have not wept but starting to dry up am I still infectious and could I cover them up to avoid spreading

Flare and the unbelievable pain
I got diagnosed over a year ago with UCTD even though I fit everything for LUPUS except the positive ANA's and have been on Plaquenil ever since. Life has been well. Only a flare or two since until now. About 3 weeks ago I started having shooting pains in various parts of my body, especially my right

Scottish Weather
We all have ideas of the great Scottish climate, but with autumn looking as cold and wet as late Summer I am having trouble shifting my cold. I've got the flu jab booked this week but is there any point in taking it? Also, how long should you leave it before panicing that you can't get rid of the cold

Greetings !
I have been having B12 injections since loading ones back in Marchthis year and my last one was on the 2nd October..i had the yearly flu jab at the same time. Since then, I have had a slight cough, runny nose and catarrh etc. Not severe enough to go to docs or have time off work, but annoying enough

Flu shot or not?
Debating getting the flu shot. Come across this discussion of pros and cons. Can't seem to find a yes or no to this subject. What are you doing or have you done in the past? http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2011/10/04/suzanne-humphries-md-medical-doctor-vaccination-risks-renal-patients-kidneys/
