Flu Jabs
Hi My GP surgery has recommended that I have a flu jab. I had one many many years ago and felt quite ill after it so a bit anxious about having one. However, as I am having so much trouble at the moment shaking off a common cold, I am worried about getting flu over the winter. Has anyone had the flu

Flu vaccine?
Is it okay to have a flu jab while on prednisone? Just diagnosed last Weds started on meds @20mg daily on Thursday and already getting some relief.

Flu Jab - Yes or No.
Hi everyone, I'm due to have my Flu Jab in a couple of weeks time like everyone out there I imagine - what is the general feeling about it? Last year was the first year I had it, and to be honest I vowed never again. I was so ill with a really heavy cold/flu, and it took weeks and weeks to get rid of

Hydroxycarbamide and Flu Vaccine
Hi everyone, I have just started taking Hydroxycarbamide and am into the sixth week (500mg three times a week) of treatment. I have been told that I can have the flu vaccination whilst taking Hydroxycarbamide but I am unsure as to whether I can have the vaccination so early on in my treatment. Any

Thanks for replies
To all who replied to my earlier post 'bad stomach...statins' I took your advice and was seen by the nurse practioner at 6 pm(how's that for service!) she said I'm really bloated and sore. Blood pressure high. Told me to stop the statins and prescribed ranitidine and cocodomol. See how I go. Oh, and

The Blackness Descends

Carers tomorrow, couldn't let her find me. Hoarding project person Thursday, with meeting in

Whopping cough vaccine
Hi I have just found out I'm pregnant and the midwife doesn't have a clue if I can have the shopping cough vaccine as i had Gillian Barre syndrome last year she's never heard of it which doesn't surprise me as it's a rare auto immune disease . I'm still waiting for a letter from the consultant after

Flu Jab... yes or no?
Welcoming comments, as usual. I understand this is subjective and that one has to decide what to do but a few ideas would be welcome. Because i have RA and other autoimmune diseases my immune system is fairly low but it is further depressed by the biologocal drug I inject weekly (Enbrel), so my rheumatologist

Asthma investigations
I am supposed to be starting a new job this week. But may have to delay it for a week, if my new employer will wait that long as it's in a call centre. To explain, I have had a cough day and night now for about 5 weeks now, and even with using my fostair the doctor doesn't think it's properly controlled

FLU SHOT
Well I got my flu shot and had a reaction first time ever was in bed for 4 days, fever, chills, nausea, pounding headache and body aches. Dr said its because my immune system is way down. Be careful when getting your shots.

UK and Flu vaccine
Had to go to the GPs today to pick up a repeat prescription for hypertension. While I was waiting for the receptionist to finish on the phone I spotted flu vaccine flyers and a list of dates/times to get flu jab. Now booked for wife and I on 23rd Sept. It's now approaching the time to get in line

It's that time of year again!
Hi everyone, I have just received my appointment through for my annual flu vaccination. Having only been diagnosed with PMR in June, would you more knowledgeable people on here recommend that I go ahead with it or not?

Flu vaccines?
This is a quick question. I've taken a flu shot for many years, usually in September. I believe I've read that some vaccinations are contraindicated while on Pred. But I don't know if ALL vaccinations are contraindicated. Any advice?
